Return to Your
Essence Within
A Women's Wellness & Empowerment Retreat
2nd – 6th October 2026
Jávea · Spain
Meet Your Host Zakia
I don't believe in waiting for the "right time" anymore. I used to. I'd tell myself I'd rest when things calmed down, connect when I had more time, show up for myself once everything else was sorted. It never came.
So now I just start. That's what these gatherings are, women coming together in Jávea, moving, eating, laughing, being real with each other, no waiting required. You don't need to arrive with it all together. Just come as you are.
