The most impactful activity for me was the creative writing session. The way it was guided allowed free-flowing expression to bring out things I had forgotten or parked aside while being distracted by the rushing world. The session I enjoyed the most was the floating sound bath — it was deeply relaxing and calming, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Over these four days, my perspective on wellness retreats, sound healing, and breathwork shifted significantly. Breathwork, in particular, became my favourite practice. I realised that although I thought I was breathing ‘correctly’, I wasn’t being mindful about it. Now I am more aware of how to breathe consciously, and it genuinely makes me feel good.

The retreat environment was perfect — small, intimate, safe, and completely judgement-free. It was also very santai (relaxed and chill), which made the experience even more enjoyable. The structure and flow were superb — nothing felt rushed. Instead, it was deeply recharging and refreshing. Everything was planned beautifully and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Throughout the retreat, I kept thinking about my family and how I wish they could experience this too. Words truly cannot compare to what I experienced firsthand. I feel incredibly grateful for this opportunity and truly believe everything happens for a reason. Alhamdulillah, I’m so thankful to have been here.

Emotionally, I learned to stop brushing away uncomfortable feelings like sadness and instead allow myself to be present with them and release them. I now understand my emotions better and feel more connected to myself. Mentally and physically, this retreat gave me much-needed clarity and rest — helping me reflect on how to become a better person in all my roles: as a father, husband, son, brother, Muslim, and professional.

I highly recommend this retreat, especially to men, fathers, and husbands. Come with an open mind, trust the process, and allow yourself to receive. There is nothing to lose — only so much to gain. I am truly grateful to have attended.”

I feel emotionally lighter and more self-aware of my feelings after this retreat. One of the most impactful parts for me was that my husband joined last minute. It was beautiful to witness how, as the retreat progressed, we both became more open and expressive. It allowed me to learn more about him, and for him to understand me better too. This experience truly deepened our relationship.

I felt so grateful that he could come along, because when something touches me deeply, I always want him to experience it himself - knowing that no amount of description can compare to experiencing it firsthand.

My favourite practice was the Blue Lotus breathwork - it was very profound. I also loved the creative writing session, which was so fun, and the floating sound bath, which was incredibly relaxing. All of these practices helped me understand myself and my relationships better, while also allowing me to truly relax and immerse myself in the magical environment around us.

Over these four days, my mindset shifted - especially in how I treat myself and others. I also gained new tools to manage my emotions better. The pace and flow of the retreat were perfect. I loved how thoughtfully everything was planned. It was eye-opening to discover different ways of expressing myself beyond just talking - through movement, writing and the various embodied practices that Ryana facilitated. I felt reconnected to my creativity again.

If there’s one thing I would add, it would be nap time lol - because I found myself releasing a lot of emotions and crying throughout the retreat (in a good way!), and it was beautifully healing, but also tiring in the best way.

I would absolutely recommend this retreat to people I care about. It’s such a safe space, and I truly believe this is not something you can experience anywhere else. I wrote down so many reminders and takeaways to continue practicing in my daily life.

One thing Ryana said that really stayed with me was: ‘Life can be simple. Joy is simple. Love is simple. We just need to slow down and focus on what truly matters - because often, we already have what we need.’

I also appreciated how small and intimate the group was — it made the experience feel very personalised and special. The support from Ryana’s partner, Max, was amazing and allowed Ryana to fully focus on holding space for us.

I strongly recommend couples to experience this together - whether for the relationship, or for individual growth as well. You truly have to experience it yourself to feel the magic.

Thank you, Ryana, for your thoughtful planning and heartfelt dedication. I am truly grateful.”

After attending this retreat, I feel like I’ve up-levelled emotionally and mentally. I experienced a huge internal shift, and honestly, this has been one of the best things I’ve done this year. The impact stayed with me even months later.

What stood out most for me was how present I became. I realised this was the most present I’ve been in a very long time. The experience was deeply immersive, and I felt safe enough to be vulnerable , which doesn’t come easily for me, especially around others. That level of presence and openness was the most powerful part of the retreat for me.

What I enjoyed most was the breathwork. The way the sessions were guided created profound emotional release and powerful insights. It helped me become more aware of deeper layers within myself and reminded me of what truly matters in life.

Over these four days, I felt my heart open even more and found myself leaning into trust on a deeper level. The space itself was beautiful, and the energy of the group elevated the entire experience. This retreat is something I will cherish and never forget - one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had.

There is honestly nothing I would change. Everything felt perfectly curated. I would absolutely recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves and feel rejuvenated on all levels. Anyone who comes with an open heart and open mind will benefit tremendously.

Ryana truly gives from her heart. You can feel the purity of her intention to nurture and support others. The practices were thoughtfully designed, impactful, and clearly guided by her decades of experience. I felt so supported and held throughout the journey.

I also loved how intimate and bespoke the retreat felt. It gave me clarity around important life decisions and helped me slow down and practice discernment. This is easily one of the best things I’ve done this year, and I would absolutely come back to experience it again.

Thank you, Ry 🤍

I felt very calm, grounded, centred, and deeply relaxed after this retreat. Being immersed in nature. surrounded by trees, the river, and birds - made the entire experience even more beautiful and nourishing.

The most impactful part for me was the floating sound bath at sunset. I’ve experienced many sound baths before, but this one, floating in water, surrounded by nature, was truly indescribable - it was magical. The voice activation session was also very powerful and made me realise how much I’ve grown since I began working with Ryana personally.

The greatest shift I experienced was how much calmer, more centred and grounded I became. I noticed I’m no longer as easily triggered as before. I also loved how thoughtfully the retreat pace, activities, and flow were curated. I really appreciated how Ryana consistently checked in with us and adjusted the schedule to meet our needs.

I would absolutely recommend everyone to experience Ryana’s retreat. The world truly needs her medicine. Her work is deeply needed. Ryana has always gone above and beyond to support me and others, and I genuinely mean it when I say she changed my life completely since I came coaching with her privately. If I hadn’t met her, I would still be living in survival mode.

Because of this journey, I’ve learned to embrace life N.O.W. Thank you for helping me shift my perspective on so many things, I’m truly glowing from within, and expanding- not just elevating! I can finally see it :) ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, Ryana. Sending you the biggest, fullest hug!! ❤️(not the half Singaporean hug!)

I have always wanted to go for a wellness retreat but never get around to find out more. When I knew Ryana was facilitating a wellness retreat I was thrilled! I thought to myself, “ The universe is aligned with me and I need to do this for me. No more procrastinating!” 

As the dates got closer to the retreat I was excited, looking forward to it but at the same time nervous and scared, because I knew that I have to let my guard down and be vulnerable with peers that I am not familiar with. I immediately switch my perception and mind set into entering this wellness retreat with an open mind and an open heart. Open to receiving knowledge. Ryana curated a very diverse program involving being in nature, yoga and be in tune with ourselves. Reminding myself, “Hey, I was this person who loves nature but what happened?”

What happened was I lost touch with myself. Connecting to myself have been a struggle as I have been suppressing emotions for many years, going back to my childhood. Ryana made me realized that it is really okay to release and show vulnerability, it wasn’t because I was in a retreat that I have to do it. I want to do it for MYSELF, with my ego and pride that has been in the way. I want to be honest with myself. I need to be vulnerable with myself first before I let wall down and open to receive love and to heal.

During the 4 days retreat, Ryana has shared so much knowledge, life experiences and also her emotions. She shares the tools of how we can cope on our day to day challenges, especially when we are triggered. Coming home from the retreat I feel inspired to work on deeper on my healing journey. My biggest takeaway is that Ryana’s retreat has made me feel worthy. Worth of being human in this life with all the challenges, struggles, trials and tribulations. Worthy to be ME and that is okay that I am still a work in progress.  I am grateful that I get the opportunity to be in Ryana’s retreat. 

I leave this review with a poem from one of my favorite poets.  “We look to ease our pain, and this keeps civilization moving along. Fear is the architect here. Fear keeps us working near the ark. Sometimes though, it is fear, a contracting, that brings you into the presence. “ - Rumi, The Uses of Fear

Thank you Ryana.

I’ve never been someone who’s into emotions or inner work. I’ve always been very active, the gym, physical things were my way of coping. But that year I had gone through a lot, including losing my job and taking time before I found another.

After all that stress, I just felt called to slow down and realized I was in need of a deep rest. It turned out to be the break I didn’t even know I needed. Ryana explained everything so thoroughly and planned everything for us. I felt so taken care of, comfortable and safe. The Villa was more than I expected!

But more than that, she helped me realize things within myself that I had forgotten or wasn’t even aware of. I admit I can be hard on myself, but throughout the retreat Ryana’s generosity, honesty and wisdom - she would point out things I did well or remind me of strengths I hadn’t seen in myself. That was so powerful.

The retreat brought together people from completely different walks of life, from creatives to homemakers. No matter who we were, it was amazing to see how we all shared the same struggles, the same need to rest and reconnect with ourselves. I loved every activity, even the ones that were new to me. Ryana made them exciting, meaningful and always an experience I looked forward to.

Each practice brought me back to my joy. What struck me the most was Ryana’s patience and her commitment. It was clear in her energy and her presence that she truly cares about this work. I’m so grateful I chose to join this retreat. Thank you Ryana, for your effort, your patience and most of all, for being you.

I learned so much on the retreat about emotions and also about myself. I feel deeply rested and feel so much more energised after the retreat.

I gained tools for managing day-to-day stress and my triggers, which I still carry with me. Ryana is so knowledgeable and really takes the time to cater to each and every one of us, making sure everything is taken care of. It was also fun to meet people from all walks of life and yes, we ate a lot! I really enjoyed the Indonesian food too.

What I appreciated most was how professional and organized Ryana was in arranging everything, while still creating a cozy, warm atmosphere.

Thank you, Ryana.
