October 4th-11th, 2027

A week to step outside the ordinary and reconnect with what makes you feel most alive.

This will be sisters Sonja + Sasha’s fifth retreat together on Amorgos, a place they’ve returned to again and again for its wild beauty, welcoming spirit, and unmistakable magic.

This time, Catherine Graf, founder of The Studio Healdsburg, joins them in bringing together movement, creativity, self-inquiry, and exploration.

Together, in one of our favorite places on earth, we’re creating a week designed to leave you feeling inspired, expanded, and deeply connected to the experience of being there.

  • Wellness

    All of our retreats offer daily movement classes, healthy organic meals, and various classes that center around healing, self-care, creativity, and play.

  • Experience

    Each experience is unique in theme and allows the opportunity to immerse in nature, be a bit of a free spirit, and find joy by simply being in the present.

  • Escapes

    Our escapes range from local Recharge Days to week-long international retreats in the most stunning and serene locations.

What Sets Us Apart

We are not about engaging in strict detox, non-stop "Bootcamp" style workouts, or anything extreme. Our retreats are about finding peace in the present, tapping into that” free spirit” that has been neglected, and “filling your cup” with joy. You will find yourself in a serene, luxurious location where you can choose whatever activities you need to recharge your batteries and feel rejuvenated. 

Each experience is unique in theme and duration, allowing you to pick and choose the experience that resonates with you most. We will provide you with various fitness classes, workshops with guest experts, healthy farm-to-table meals, excursions,  and R &R. Corporate and Customized private group retreats are also offered at your destination of choice.

Expect the unexpected. Although we will provide you with an itinerary and various activities, we like to toss in elements of spontaneity. This is to get you out of a routine comfort zone so that you can truly embrace the present and the beauty it offers.

  • “I am so grateful to SolShine Escapes for providing one of the most memorable experiences of my life! When I signed up for the Greece retreat, I knew to expect a beautiful backdrop and luxurious accommodations. What I didn’t expect was the impact everything else would have on me. SolShine Escapes was so thoughtful in creating a retreat agenda that allowed for profound cultural experiences, meaningful connection with new friends, creative outlets for processing our journey, and opportunities to challenge our physical strength in a safe and supported way. While there was an organized agenda for the week, it was made very clear by RE that we are in no way beholden to the agenda. We were encouraged to tune in to ourselves and make our time there something that made sense for each person. The folks behind SE seem to really understand the delicate balance between supporting group dynamics and honoring the individual’s unique experience. I highly recommend SolShine Escapes to anyone who could benefit from powerful self-care!”

  • "Sonja and Sasha organized the trip of a lifetime to Greece this summer. I had an incredible time and will always cherish the memories I made in Santorini and Amorgos Island. I haven't been this relaxed in years! The schedule was fun and well balanced, the resorts were beautiful and the owners and staff treated us like family, and the group they assembled was so warm and friendly. I will go on another Recharge Escape in the future, and highly recommend them!"

  • "I knew that after a week of Sonja's workouts, I was pretty much guaranteed to come home feeling stronger and healthier. As soon as we stepped foot onto Amorgos, I realized I was going to leave with so much more than I had anticipated. I couldn't have imagined a more ideal setting for a recharge retreat. It's impossible not to feel energized on the island. The art classes with Sasha reawakened a creativity I had long forgotten. Not only did I come home stronger, I came home more grounded and mindful. I can't wait until next year!"

  • "So many great moments, it is hard to pick one. I think the beauty of the venue was incredible. I was initially intimidated by the art classes, but was pleasantly surprised by how relaxing and fun they were! All around, this trip was unique and amazing!"
