Get ready! TWO LITTLE BIRDS (that’s US!) is migrating to Nicaragua next May for a week of wellness, culture and adventure. Expect our OG vibes… like yoga, ceremony, creativity, education and FUN, while exploring ALL NEW, WORLD CLASS SURF & TURF! We will also have an opportunity to learn about and give back to the community in a unique and special way that keeps the good vibes flowing in all directions.
*A portion of your tuition will go directly back into supporting the people and area that we are visiting. This group is intentionally kept small to maintain an intimate vibe, a lesser footprint, and a chiller experience, all around.
More details on all the awesomeness included below.
Also, check out our gorgeous new OCEAN FRONT haunt here: MALIBU POPOYO
WHY RETREAT with US?
Surf+Soul+Español is an invitation to join a group of like-minded, and sometimes unlike-minded people, to settle into a circle of trust, curiosity and adventure. While you will be well taken care of, we might also get a little dirty, sweaty and bug bitten. We'll definitely laugh and probably cry. We will try new things and gain awareness on how our presence impacts the people and places we visit. This is also a retreat into ourselves, a chance to look within, stretch ourselves, confront fears, break wide open and explore new ways to heal. If that sounds like your jam, we are your happy place!
PLEASE NOTE: ALL completed payments are NON-REFUNDABLE. Your tuition requests will be billed to you in installations, outlined below. Should the trip be canceled on our end for some unforeseen reason, a combination of credit toward a future SSE retreat and cash refund will be applied. We are here for you and don't want to leave you hanging, and we really appreciate you planning responsibly by purchasing travel insurance.

TRAVEL TO POPOYO
Fly into Augusto Cesar Sandino International Airport (MGA) in Managua, Nicaragua. As soon as you’re booked, forward your flight info to Nicole at powerrestoreyoga@gmail.com, along with any questions, so we can arrange airport transfers to get you to Popoyo. We’ve got you!
Should you need to spend the night in Managua due to a late flight, there is an old-school Best Western literally across the street from the airport. Not fancy (at all), but very convenient: BEST WESTERN LAS MERCEDES AIRPORT
TRAVEL TIPS
We recommend that you begin tracking flights to Managua now on Google Flights. For the sake of flight planning, our retreat officially begins with 6pm dinner on May 3 and ends May 9 after breakfast; some retreaters might leave earlier in the morning on May 9 for flights.
SHUTTLES TO/FROM AIRPORT
We will arrange your airport transfers for you between Augusto Cesar Sandino International Airport (MGA) and Malibu Popoyo. The shuttles are their own little adventure and can be a fun time to get to know one another, volcano gaze, practice your Spanish with your driver or nap off a red-eye.
MAKE SURE YOUR PASSPORT IS UP TO DATE
It’s best if it's got at least 6 months beyond our travel date before expiring. Plant it in a safe place, and don't forget where that special place is. You will need your passport to register for the retreat.
TRAVEL INSURANCE IS REQUIRED
Check out insuremytrip.com, select the “Cancel for Any Reason” policy to peruse your options.
