Back To The Roots Tunisian Retreat
Reconnect, recharge, rediscover: it’s your time to celebrate, dance, and align with the authentic, vibrant woman within.

October 19-25, 2025, in Djerba, Tunisia

“The greatest challenge in life is being yourself… in a world trying to make you like everyone else.” – Anonymous

Have you ever felt like you’re living someone else’s life? Like you’re wearing a mask to fit into the world around you, trying to be the person everyone expects you to be? It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

The pressure to perform, to meet societal expectations, to conform to roles that don’t even reflect who you truly are.

I know, because I’ve been there too.

Now, tell me if this sounds like you…

You feel super stressed and tired. Your days feel heavy with responsibility, and you’re longing for a moment to just breathe and BE.

You often feel disconnected. The fun things you used to love now seem like a long-ago memory. Instead of being yourself, you wear a mask to fit in, pretending to be someone you’re not.

You compare yourself to others. When you scroll through social media, you see everyone else thriving while you feel stuck. A voice in your head keeps telling you that you’re not good enough, making you feel lonely.

You often prioritise everyone else’s needs over your own, but deep down, you know this only leads to resentment and burnout.​

You find it hard to say no. You often agree to things even when you don’t want to, just to please others, which leaves you feeling overwhelmed and resentful.

You’re constantly giving to others but have little left for yourself. You’re craving space to recharge and reconnect with what truly lights you up.

You’ve been looking for a community that uplifts you—a space where you feel supported, inspired, and free to be yourself.

If you’ve said yes to more than five of these statements, then my dear this is your chance to pause, breathe, and reconnect with YOU.

Take a break from the busy world and celebrate YOU—your true self, your special gifts, and all the roles you play as a mom, sister, friend, and more.

Imagine being part of a group of amazing women who cheer on and support one another; no envy, no jealousy, no competition. I grew up around strong women who showed me how important it is to be together and help each other, and I want to share that with you.

In the beautiful landscapes of Tunisia, one of my home countries, we enjoy a culture that loves simple things. Here, we can laugh, share stories, and make friendships that make us happy.

This is your chance to feel alive and connected, enjoying moments like sipping mint tea, dancing on the beach, and feeling the warmth of friendship.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with after 7 days:

A deeper connection to your body: experience guided movement practices and dance sessions that help you release tension, feel grounded, and rediscover the joy of being in your own skin.

Lifelong memories and relationships: share laughter, tears, and celebrations with a group of like-minded women, forming bonds that extend far beyond the retreat.

A personalized self-care toolkit: learn simple, effective practices—including journaling prompts, breathwork, and daily rituals—that you can integrate into your life to maintain clarity and peace.

Newfound clarity on your next steps: through reflective exercises and coaching sessions, walk away with a clear vision of what you want and an actionable plan to make it happen.

A reignited sense of joy and playfulness: let go of the weight of daily stress as you embrace moments of pure fun, creativity, and freedom through movement, connection, and cultural exploration.

Confidence to show up authentically: leave behind perfectionism and fear as you practice unapologetically being yourself—both during the retreat and in your life beyond.

A revitalized mindset: learn how to challenge limiting beliefs, trust your intuition, and approach life with a sense of possibility and ease.

Meet your guide

Hey there, beautiful soul! I’m Sabrine—your host, hype woman, and biggest supporter on this adventure. And I’m so excited to welcome you to one of my home countries to share its beauty but also its rich culture rooted in community, connection, and freedom.

I created this retreat because I know what it feels like to crave connection, joy, and a sense of freedom. Diving into the vibrant Tunisian culture, we'll soak in traditions that celebrate joy and living in the moment.

As a dancer, mentor, and someone who’s walked the path of rediscovery many times, I’m here to hold space for you to reconnect with yourself, explore your passions, and embrace the vibrant life waiting for you. This'll be the place for us to come together, share experiences, and lift each other up.

I can’t wait to get to know you, to hear your story, and celebrate YOU!

With all my warmth & excitement,
Sabrine

Are you ready to feel alive again?

This is your moment to pause, reset, and say YES to yourself. Don’t wait to start living the joyful, connected life you deserve.
From Overthinking to Joyful Action
I create spaces for women to break free from fear, overthinking, and self-doubt—spaces where they can reconnect with their bodies, rediscover their passions, and embrace bold, authentic lives. Through mentorship, retreats, and dance experiences, I guide women toward joyful action and unapologetic self-expression.

This isn’t just about movement—it’s about transformation. It’s about finding the freedom to live with confidence, clarity, and a deep sense of connection to yourself and others. Life is too short to stay stuck—this is your time to step into joy, purpose, and bold, playful living.
