About this trip

The Lamu Yoga Festival is one of the premiere yoga festivals in the world. We've curated a journey designed around this fantastic event with a comfortable base for all of our attendees. This is a small group retreat with only five attendees, the vibe will be intimate and relaxed. Every traveler will have their own room with ensuite bath for the duration of the trip, ensuring the perfect mix of privacy and group connection. 


The Magic of Lamu


Nestled on Kenya's northern coast, Lamu Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Africa's most captivating destinations. Shela village, where we'll be based, offers pristine beaches, car-free streets, and stunning Swahili architecture. The gentle rhythm of island life, where donkeys are the main form of transport and centuries-old traditions remain intact, creates the perfect setting for deep personal transformation.


Your Transformative Journey


This carefully crafted experience begins with the physical practice of yoga during the festival, opening the body and mind. We then journey inward with a sacred medicine ceremony, followed by integration time to absorb and embody these experiences. Throughout this process, you'll be supported in a comfortable, beautiful environment where connection with yourself and others can flourish.


Your Hosts


Your journey will be guided by Sara Ucendo, a medicine woman dedicated to ancient healing traditions. Sara helps participants reconnect with their true essence, clearing pathways to reclaim their power and deepen trust in themselves and their bodies through traditional medicine work.


The Transformative Journeys team, Candice and Rita, will be your organizers and hosts, present to assist you from start to finish. With their extensive travel expertise and personal development backgrounds, they ensure every aspect of your journey is seamless and supportive.
