Discover Your Perfect Therapy

At Samudra Soul, you’re more than a participant — you’re a Wavemaker: a woman reclaiming her essence, rising into her power, and meeting life — and the ocean — with open arms.

We welcome every woman exactly as she is. Whether you’re stepping onto a surfboard for the first time or finding your way back to the waves after life’s detours, you belong here.

Our approach goes far beyond traditional surf lessons. It's not about how quickly you pop up — it’s about how fully you drop in: to your breath, your body, and your truth.

Catanduanes Soul Journey

     

This is more than just a surf trip — it's a space for women to reconnect with nature, the ocean, and each other.

At Samudra Soul, we believe in the power of the sea to heal, empower, and bring us back to ourselves.

Our retreats are about learning to surf in a safe and supportive environment, sharing stories, laughing together, and lifting each other up.

It's about building a sisterhood in the waves — where we cheer each other on, celebrate every wipeout and every breakthrough, and hold space for growth, vulnerability, and joy.

Come as you are. Leave with salt in your hair, new surf sisters, and a deeper connection to your soul.

Immerse yourself in the pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters of Catanduanes, Philippines. This intimate retreat is limited to just 10 women per retreat, ensuring personalized attention and a deep sense of sisterhood.

       Retreat is hosted by Happy Isla Tours

Meet your Host

Fabienne Gassmann

 Hey beautiful soul,

           Surfing helped me reconnect with myself. It gave me confidence and a sense of freedom I hadn't felt before. It taught me to trust myself, to get back up after falling, and to enjoy the ride.

          Most of my surf journey I was alone. That time helped me grow, but I always wanted to connect with other women who share the same passion. I longed for a space where we could support each other, celebrate progress, share challenges, and laugh through the wipeouts together.

          Samudra Soul grew from that dream. It's a place where women come together to surf, grow, and connect. A space to move, open up, and enjoy the ocean with others who get it. We share real moments, support, and lots of laughter. Whether you're new to surfing or have been riding waves for a while, you're welcome here. Let's ride waves and enjoy the journey together.
