The honest answers.

Not a luxury wellness escape. Not a productivity bootcamp. A Women Up retreat is four days of stepping out of performance and back into yourself, through yoga, presence, honest conversation, and time with other women who came for the same reason.

The pace is intentional. You will have time on your mat, time at the pool, time around a table, and time alone if you want it. We don’t over-program. The point is to come home to yourself, not to keep performing on a different schedule.

Women who are ready to stop performing. That covers a lot of seasons of life: rebuilding after a hard year, holding everyone else together, outwardly successful but quietly restless. You don’t need to be a yogi. You don’t need to know what you’re looking for. You just need to be willing to show up as you actually are.

Most days begin with movement, yoga led by Victoria on the terrace as the day softens in. Breakfast follows. Then there’s a stretch of open time, for the pool, the ocean, a walk, a nap, a conversation. Afternoons usually hold a class, a reflection, or a small group session. Evenings are meals together and unhurried space.

The exact daily schedule for each retreat is shared in your booking confirmation and refined on arrival.

No. Victoria teaches accessible, well-cued yoga, the kind that meets you where your body is, not where you wish it was. Some women come without ever having stepped on a mat. Some come having taught for years. Both are welcome, and both leave saying the same thing: this didn’t feel like a class. It felt like a return.

Small, capped at 16 women. That number is deliberate. It’s big enough for a real sisterhood to form across the days, and small enough that you’ll actually be seen.

Yes. WeTravel offers structured payment plans on most retreats, you’ll see the available options at checkout. If you’d like to talk through a different arrangement before you book, write to us at Contact.

WeTravel accepts most major credit cards and (in supported regions) bank transfers and digital wallets. The full list is visible at checkout.

The cancellation and refund policy for each retreat is published on the WeTravel booking page and confirmed in writing when you reserve your spot. Cut-off dates and refundable portions vary by how close to the retreat you cancel.

If something major comes up after you book, please write to us at Contact as soon as you know. We’ll always do what we can within the published policy.

In most cases, yes, with our written approval and as long as the substitute traveler is a woman who fits the retreat’s spirit. Reach out via Contact as early as possible so we can update the manifest with the hotel and WeTravel.

Yes, strongly. A small travel insurance policy that covers trip cancellation, interruption, and medical care abroad is one of the best decisions you can make. We don’t sell insurance, but we’re happy to point you to a few reputable options when you book.

If we ever have to cancel or reschedule a retreat for reasons on our side, weather event, safety concern, or anything serious, we’ll communicate as early as we can and follow the refund or rebook terms on your booking confirmation. We won’t leave you hanging.

Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica (airport code MBJ). It’s the closest airport to the retreat property and the easiest entry point from most cities in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Arrive on the published start date of the retreat, ideally early enough to be settled in for the welcome gathering that evening. Depart any time on the published end date. Your booking confirmation includes the exact arrival window and a recommended flight planning guide.

We’ll send you a short list of recommended ground transfer options, private car services and shuttles we’ve vetted ourselves. The ride from Sangster to the retreat is short and along the coast. You’ll feel the shift the moment you turn in.

You will need a valid passport. For most U.S., Canadian, U.K., and EU travelers, Jamaica does not require a tourist visa for short stays, but visa rules vary by nationality and can change, so please verify your current requirements with the Jamaican consulate or your government’s travel site before you book your flight.

If your passport expires within six months of the retreat date, renew it before you book.

You’ll receive a detailed packing list with your booking confirmation. The short version: comfortable clothing you can move in, swimwear, a light cover-up for yoga, sandals, a refillable water bottle, sunscreen, and one outfit you feel beautiful in for the closing dinner. The retreat property provides yoga mats and props.

A private boutique retreat property in Montego Bay, rented in full for our group of 16. Pool, terrace, gardens, and ocean access. Quiet, beautiful, well-tended. Photos on the Retreats page give you a feel.

Both options are available. The published retreat fee is for a shared double-occupancy room, a thoughtful and increasingly common way to deepen the sisterhood across the retreat. A single-occupancy upgrade is available for an additional fee while spots remain. Choose your preference at checkout on WeTravel.

All meals on the property are included, thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully prepared by the property’s on-site chef. Expect Caribbean influences with plenty of vegetables, fresh fruit, fish, and lighter fare that supports how your body wants to feel during a yoga-anchored week.

We collect dietary preferences and allergies during booking and pass them directly to the on-site kitchen. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and most common allergy-aware preparations are well within the property’s capacity. For very specialized diets, write to us at Contact before you book so we can confirm what’s possible.

Filtered drinking water is provided on the property at all times. Bring a refillable water bottle and you’ll be set.

If you can walk comfortably for half an hour and you’re willing to try gentle yoga, you’re ready. Classes are accessible and modifiable. You set the pace your body wants on any given day, nobody is pushing you.

Most likely, yes, with a conversation first. We’ll ask you to share relevant medical history during booking so Victoria can plan accordingly and the on-site team is informed. If something significant changes between booking and the retreat date, please tell us. Your safety and comfort matter more than perfect attendance.

This is a retreat, not a treatment program. Victoria is a yoga teacher and a wellness advocate, not a therapist or a medical provider. Many women come while in their own outside therapy or care, and that’s welcome. We’re not equipped to be a primary mental-health support, and we’ll tell you directly if a different setting would serve you better. If you’re uncertain whether the retreat is right for you, write to us at Contact before booking.

Simple and non-negotiable: every woman is treated with dignity and confidentiality. What women share inside the retreat stays inside the retreat. No photos of others without consent. No advice unless invited. No silencing. No cruelty. We reserve the right to ask a guest to leave if they disrupt the safety or trust of the group.

The retreat property maintains contact with a local medical practice for routine matters and a relationship with the nearest hospital for anything more urgent. A basic first-aid kit is on site. For anything ongoing or complex, please come with the resources your own doctor has recommended and an active travel insurance policy.

You’ll leave with a small group of women who know your name and a quiet thread of communication to keep in touch. Many of our retreat sisters stay close for years, meeting up between retreats, supporting each other through hard seasons, showing up for each other’s lives.

Yes. Returning guests receive priority access to future retreats and an alumni rate when one is available. New destinations and seasonal retreats are added as Women Up grows, we’ll let you know first.

That’s the direction we’re building toward, short virtual gatherings, follow-up reflections, occasional in-person meet-ups in a few cities. The first programs will roll out after the November 2026 retreat. Join the email list and we’ll let you know as they open.

Every retreat is structured so that part of what you pay goes to support our dignity-first work for women in harder seasons, advocacy, resources, and direct partnerships with women’s organizations like the Women’s Centre of Jamaica Foundation. You can read more on our Impact page.
