Surf
Our surf lessons are great for first-time surfers! We offer 3 surf lessons that will be taught in groups of 2-4 participants and we will also have 2 open surfs where everyone can surf together. The lessons are geared toward gremmies (new surfers) but if you have surfed and are at an advanced beginner or intermediate level, we can gauge our coaching to your skill level, accordingly. Folly Beach is a great place to learn to surf because it has smaller waves, that generally break over sand close to shore. Often times you’re able to touch the bottom sand during lessons.
If surfing isn’t your thing but you would like to get out on the water – we are offering a paddle board or kayaking excursion for an additional fee of $80.
Salt
Get Salty! Our beachfront lodging will provide plenty of opportunities to ‘bathe’ in the salt air & salt water. You can enjoy the sunrise from the porch or decide to walk out the back door, down the stairs and onto the beach to feel the sand in your toes. No matter what you are doing, you will be sure to get your fill of enjoying all Folly beach has to offer.
Soul
During the weekend, we will explore new resources for cultivating mindfulness and tapping into our inner wisdom. We will take time to both sit & play at the ocean’s edge. We will encourage you to howl at the moon, soak in the sunlight & sleep in any day you like – our agenda is ‘suggested’, not mandatory, and we respect your choice to do what works best for you!

“And into the ocean I go, to lose my mind and find my soul . . . “
Coyote Christina here. I’m a big dreamer w/ a big heart & I’m looking forward to spending time with you and building toward ‘the life of our dreams’! I find that nature, art & soulful people & activities (surfing, writing, yoga!) are the best ‘therapies’ for reclaiming joy and I’m excited to experience all these things with you otb (on the beach!).

What’s up, chicas! I’m Monica and I’m so excited to help guide you through part of your surf journey. I have been surfing for 12 years and have been a surf instructor for 7 years. Nothing makes me happier than bouncing knowledge & experience off one another. Let’s get our toes wet..

Co•sana | healing together
“I created the word “Cosana” as a one word representation of my belief that the deepest healing happens in community and we all need a partner in healing — these beliefs led me to launch my own business, Cosana Coaching.”
Hi yall! I’m Haley. I’m on a mission to help women ditch diet culture, reclaim their zest for life, and build an unwavering belief in their right to exist exactly as they are, through the power of surfing, energy healing, and chit chatting! Having surfed some gnarly waves in life myself, from tackling eating disorders to getting actually pummeled into reefs in Puerto Rico, I’m thrilled to just chill with y’all this weekend ( :
Getting you ready
Yoga
There’s nothing like a good asana practice to connect with our bodies and calm the mind. We will provide links to a YouTube Video class each week starting at the end of March to prepare you & your body for surfing at the Retreat. The focus of these practices will be on stretching and strengthening exercises to increase flexibility and balancing abilities as well as to build your body’s core strength for surfing.
Meditation
There will be an optional, sunrise yoga & meditation/intention setting practice each morning. During the weekend workshop sessions, Christina will introduce a chakra meditation and other grounding exercises. In addition, we are coordinating with local artists & healing arts practitioners to join us as special guest each day to guide us in yoga, movement, meditation &/or a relaxation practice.
Additional Services
(these fees are in addition to the pkg price of $1699)
- Paddle Board/Kayak excursion ($80)
- Acupuncture ($75)
- Massage ($75)
- Drone footage of surf lesson/open surf (starting from $75)
- Shuttle Service to & from the airport ($25/person or $50/trip)
Fine Print
We will do our best to run the Retreat according to the outlined agenda but we may need to ‘tweak’ the schedule at times depending on weather and ocean conditions. It is HIGHLY unlikely that there would be 3 days straight of inclement weather that would prevent us from getting you in the water and on a surf board, but it is not an impossibility. Our primary concern is creating a safe environment, and we will not take you in the water if conditions are unsafe. Therefore we cannot guarantee completion of all three surf lessons but we can guarantee that we will do our best to make your Retreat a fun, fulfilling experience.
Attending our Retreat is a powerful form of self-nurturing and self-investment, and we want to help you protect this investment. Your deposit of $599 is NONREFUNDABLE but acts of God do happen – this is why we highly recommend that you purchase trip insurance and recommend insuremytrip.
Day Passes are NONREFUNDABLE but if life goes sideways & you can’t make it, let us know w/ at least 24-hr notice & we can apply the amount paid minus a $50 Admin Fee, to a future TKCdreams event.
