Reviews

This trip was a wonderful reminder that community empowers us to challenge ourselves and do hard things. I found such unique connections with the other attendees, truly sharing heart space and authentic vulnerability. Pixie has a gift for holding the container for retreat goers to peel back a layer, go deeper in external experiences and internal exploration, and feel wholly supported. The modalities of this retreat- breathwork, meditation, yoga, somatic movement, and all of the fantastic surfing were transformative to coming back to myself and joining in community with the retreat group. The instructors, accommodations, additional staff, food, massages, and excursions were fantastic as well. I’m so grateful to be able to have participated in such a noteworthy adventure and be held and seen by so many others.

I really enjoyed this retreat. Puro surf as a venue is amazing and I’d love to return to their surf camp at least annually if I could. The remainder of the retreat lead by pixie was also wonderful. The only downside, if you’d even call it one, is that it was so jam packed with events I didn’t feel like I had time/energy to explore the area outside puro surf. I’d recommend coming a day early or staying a day late to do that.

I recently attended a Surf Sweat Serve retreat hosted by Pixie, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, Pixie created such a welcoming and calming space for everyone. She truly knows how to hold space for her guests—making sure everyone felt supported, comfortable, and connected. Whether it was during the surf/workout sessions, meditation, or group meals, Pixie and her co-facilitators' thoughtful guidance and positive energy shone through. The Puro Surf facility was beautiful and well-equipped, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay. The surf instructors were fantastic—patient, skilled, and encouraging—helping everyone improve at their own pace while fostering a fun and supportive atmosphere. I left feeling refreshed, empowered, and deeply grateful for the experience. Highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a mix of adventure, relaxation, and personal growth!

If you're on the fence about joining one of Pixie's retreats, just do it!! A week away in the hidden paradise of El Tunco was the absolute best gift I could ever give myself, and I'm so, so happy I did. Our week together was exhilarating and introspective by equal measure. Pixie and Natalie are a stellar duo that pulled off a seamless itinerary that both challenged us and softened us. I felt safe and cared for at every step of the way--by our facilitators, by the lovely and attentive staff at Balance, by our guides, and by each and every person who also decided to join SSS. I especially appreciated Pixie's genuine connection to the community of El Tunco; she shares family-level relationships with our local guides, surf instructors, drivers, and friends, all of whom quickly became our buddies, too. A feeling of friendship and warmth was palpable all week long, amongst our group and amongst the community who welcomed us to their land. I'll miss the ripe and juicy mangoes falling straight from the trees and onto my lap, but I'll miss our roaring laughs even more. Thank you, Pixie and Natalie, for sharing the magic of El Salvador and for an experience I won't soon forget.

Pixies Retreats are anything but...Why retreat with so many chances to surrender!? From the moment You make the commitment to join to the moment you land back home on your bed, you are connected, held and supported by a new group of friends and the environment she creates..... Pixies conections with the locals make her excursions a treat for even the most experienced travelers.... If you're hovering or on the fence...Push the button..This is the place!

I attended the El Salvador trip in October and it absolutely incredible!!! I’ve done a lot of travel in my life but this is by far one of my favorites. Believe it or not, I was hesitant on coming because I had never surfed(and quite frankly feared the ocean)but knowing Pixie and the amazing community she’s built I knew it would be a great experience. Not only did I fall in love with everything that is El Salvador, I fell in love with the ocean and surfing and made friendships and memories that will last a life time! I truly feel forever bonded to the group that went on this trip and I’m soooo grateful I went. 10/10 recommend! If you’re on the fence don’t be, you won’t regret it!!!
