More than a retreat...
Surfhippie isn’t about escaping life. It’s about returning to it with a quieter mind, an open heart and the confidence to live more fully.
We create thoughtfully curated retreats that blend ancient wisdom with modern science, helping you slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself.
Returning to your own rhythm.
Life has a rhythm.
The ocean has a rhythm.
Your breath has a rhythm.
Walking has a rhythm.
Conversations have a rhythm.
The seasons have a rhythm.
So do you.
Modern life has a way of pulling us away from that quiet inner pace.
Surfhippie retreats are designed to help you find it again.
Hi, I am Sirkka.
Wonderful you landed here.
For over thirty years I’ve worked with people, first through creativity and design and later through yoga, breathwork and mindfulness.
Somewhere along the way, I realised that what people often need isn’t more information or another self-improvement programme. They need space. Space to breathe, to slow down and to reconnect with themselves.
I believe each of us has our own rhythm. Like the sea, the seasons and our breath, life has a natural flow. When we lose touch with it, we often feel overwhelmed, disconnected or simply tired. When we find it again, we begin to feel more like ourselves again.
That’s why I created Surfhippie.
The retreats I host aren’t about escaping life. They’re about returning to it with greater clarity, a quieter mind and the confidence to live more fully. Gentle movement, nourishing food, beautiful surroundings and meaningful conversation create the conditions for something simple yet profound, to help you rediscover your own rhythm again.
I’d love to welcome you.
