The Blissful Breakthrough Retreat
18th - 20th april 2025 | Bab Al Shams Hotel, Dubai.
Let’s be real - manifestation is everywhere these days. You’ve probably seen the vision boards, the affirmations, and all the “surrender to the universe” advice online. And if you’re anything like me, it might feel a tad... overdone.
But here’s the thing: manifestation isn’t just about slapping a few images on a board, repeating your affirmations daily, and hoping for the best. It’s about reclaiming your worth, clearing the deeper inner blocks that hold you back, and tapping into the incredible power already inside of you. That’s what this retreat is about.
This isn’t surface-level manifestation. We’re going deep, transformational and beyond all the mainstream “fluff” terminology. At The Blissful Breakthrough Retreat, you’ll reconnect with yourself on a profound level, learn tools to clear subconscious blocks once and for all, and importantly walk away with a crystal clear understanding on how to ACTUALLY manifest.

Reclaim Your
Power
While others might tell you to “surrender to the universe,” we’re going deeper, combining inner transformation with soul-nourishing, emotionally healing, and restorative practices. It’s manifestation—but with heart, healing, depth, and a little magic.
The Journey.
Wake up in a tranquil desert sanctuary, with golden sunlight streaming through the palms and the serenity of Bab Al Shams setting the tone for your day.
Begin with sunrise yoga & breathwork, followed by a nourishing breakfast. Step into powerful transformational workshops, including RTT hypnosis and manifestation coaching, designed to clear subconscious blocks and help you step into your highest self. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the pool, indulging in spa treatments, or reflecting in nature. As the sun sets, gather for cacao ceremonies, sound healing, and journaling rituals under the stars, allowing you to release, realign, and reconnect. End your day with starlit dinners, meaningful conversations, and soulful connections, leaving you refreshed, inspired, and ready to manifest the life you truly desire.
