The Women Beneath Retreat | Zanzibar, Tanzania | November 2nd – 6th, 2026

from $800.00

For the woman ready to meet what lives beneath

The Woman Beneath is a 5-day immersive women’s retreat in Zanzibar, created for the woman who knows there is more within her… and is ready to meet it.

Not the version she shows the world.
Not the one who performs, holds, or keeps it all together.

But the woman beneath it all.

The Essence of the Retreat

There is a layer beneath the roles, the expectations, the coping, the noise.

This retreat is a return to her.

The Woman Beneath is a deeply held, intentional space for women ready to slow down, soften, and come into honest connection with themselves.

Through conscious connected breathwork, sacred cacao ceremonies, somatic practices, and grounding rituals, you are guided inward. Gently. Safely. Without force.

This is not about pushing forward.
This is about listening deeper.

Supported by the rhythm of the ocean and the stillness of Zanzibar’s coastline, your nervous system begins to settle, your body begins to speak, and what has been held beneath has space to rise, be seen, and be integrated.

Your Retreat Home:

The Zen Boutique Retreat
Set along the quiet coastline of Zanzibar, Zen Zanzibar Resort offers more than just a place to stay. It is a space that immediately softens you.

Created by Sarah and her husband, the experience is deeply personal. There is an intentional connection felt in every detail, from the way you are welcomed to how the space is held throughout your stay.

The team becomes part of your experience. Warm, attentive, and genuinely present, they create a sense of safety that allows you to fully exhale.

Completely tucked away, Zen feels worlds apart from the noise of everyday life. Secluded, private, and held by nature, it invites you to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself.

This is not just accommodation.
It is part of the retreat experience itself.
