I had a wonderful time. Pixie created a safe container right at the beginning & the community was amazing. Highly recommend.
By Andrea P for SURF SWEAT SERVE X PURO SURF CAMP 2024 on Nov 05, 2024
Pixie has the most incredible ability of not only attracting beautiful souls ready to connect, but also facilitating those connections in joyful, effortless ways. Her energy is infectious and her attention to your spirit ensures that even in challenging moments, you are seen and never alone. This was my first retreat and the word I have settled on to describe its every twist and turn, laugh and cry, is transformative. I walked in needing more than expected, and left with tools I now feel ready to use. The work doesn't end at departure but that's ok because Pixie makes herself available to anyone and everyone no matter the need and no matter how much time has passed. If you feel called to spend a week with friends new and old, on a surfboard or yoga mat in the sunshine and by the beautiful sea, I encourage you to take that leap! You will not regret it.
By Kelly J for SURF SWEAT SERVE X PURO SURF CAMP 2024 on Nov 05, 2024
This retreat was INCREDIBLE!!! From start to finish, it was impeccable. I'd say community was at the heart of the experience, opening with a beautiful, safe container and integrating various connecting exercises and somatic practices from the beginning. This really set the stage for the week, that we were all in this together, to be witnessed, to come as we are, and to open ourselves up to dancing with our edges, whether that be emotionally, physically, mentally, etc. Pixie is extremely experienced, embodied, and a world class facilitator, able to create sacred space and artfully connect us deeper to each other and ourselves through the various incredible somatic experiences like breathwork, cold plunging, and somatic dance which were all just SO FUN! on top of being therapeutic. She's such a light with beautiful energy that really rippled through the experience! The trip was so beautifully packaged with the line up of activities. I loved that we had surfing days mixed in with somatic movement, breathwork, waterfall excursion, also a night out for dinner, and that different actives were optional, and option to do your own excursions, even though I loved participating in everything! There was such safety and connection brought in at the beginning that I feel everyone felt very comfortable being vulnerable and open with each other, and connecting on a deeper level, and really supporting each other throughout the week. We really became a family this week and got to experience so much of beautiful El Salvador, connecting with the locals, getting to hang with them, learn from them, and just have such a beautiful time together. The surf training was also TOP NOTCH - It was amazing to get essentially 1x1 training in the water, and then get to watch our videos back with critiques and improvements to be made. I loved our surf drills and incorporating in skateboarding to assist as well! Really great mix of activities and down time. I loved Puro - what a fantastic venue with wonderful facilities and excellent food, pool, insane waterfront location, and beautiful staff. We also got a complimentary massage which was SO great and appreciated! Plus, such cool swag bags! The surf to swim shorts are now a favorite, plus all the cool little wellness products really added such value to the trip! It was so special and important to me that we also spent some time giving back and I love that we participated in a beach clean up together right out front in beach that our hotel was on. Overall, one of the best experiences of my life, so heart-led, community focused, fun a freeing and definitely want to come back! THANK YOU PIXIE AND EL SALVADOR!

I can’t thank Pixie enough for organizing the most brilliant, inspiring, and perfectly planned retreat I’ve ever attended. Every single detail felt intentional, and it was clear just how much thought and love were put into making it unforgettable. Pixie challenged, inspired and uplifted us, and it goes without saying how much I love breathtaking ElSal. We had beautiful moments of peace and reflection, and Pixie created a space where true growth and connections will be lifelong now. I left feeling empowered, deeply inspired, and beyond grateful for the experience. Pixie's vision and dedication made this retreat truly special, and I’m so blessed to have been a part of it. Thank you for your light and your everything.
By Teri W for SURF SWEAT SERVE X PURO SURF CAMP 2024 on Nov 05, 2024
I've been on a lot of retreats and this was by far my favorite of all time! This is my second retreat with Pixie, and though I didn't think the last retreat with her could be topped, this one blew me away even more. Pixie has a magical way of crafting an experience that connects me to myself, the community we are so gifted to visit, and the others on the retreat. I was going through a rough patch in my life and felt very ungrounded, and this retreat provided me with the healing opportunities I so deeply needed. I left feeling grounded, restored, connected, and inspired. Feelings that all felt so far away when I boarded the plane for the retreat. Pixie customizes incredible classes, healing rituals, ceremonies, excursions, and opportunities for reflection, nourishment, and play. It's the perfect blend of activities that allows us to move physically and move our emotions and stuck energy to reconnect to our intuition and the best version of ourselves. I've never experienced a retreat that includes so many beautiful modalities..... breathwork, sound healing, yoga, somatic movement, Pixie's signature Dopamine classes, opening and closing ceremonies, cacao ceremony, meditation, yoga and the power of play and connecting to nature. We still had plenty of downtime to look inward and rest and eat the most amazing food and drink smoothies by the pool. I feel like I found myself again as well as new life long friends and community. I can't wait until the next one!

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!!!
