WHO ARE YOUR HOSTS:
Francisca and Lily created their bond during their yoga teacher training and living together in Byron Bay. Inspired by their home gatherings, where yoga, philosophy, and more intertwined, a vision emerged—a vision to create retreats that foster self-discovery, empowerment, and the formation of sisterhood.
Their first retreat in Chile back in 2022, had shown them —the wellspring of resilience accessed through the power of women connecting in a conscious way.
Journey Home invites women to delve into the profound healing realms of yoga, mind-body connection & the divine feminine. Our retreats are designed to immerse you in ancient rituals, nature, and yoga. Sharing the opportunity to learn holistic ways of managing stress, gently cleanse the body, and create more balance for your life.
Join us on this magical journey, as we navigate the path that leads us back home—to ourselves—and discover your soul in a beautiful way.

Francisca Sovino:
Fran’s yoga journey began following intense hip surgery. It was a way to recover and heal, not just for the body but for the mind and the soul. When she was 26, life forced her to stop, to slow down, to observe and to heal. Yoga changed her life, it gave her knowledge about herself, connection and purpose. She was fascinated to understand the divine connection within the spiritual world, as well to study the mind.
Breathing in and out ground her. Her Sadhana (daily asana and spiritual practice) is her medicine. She is eager to share her expertise and passion with students; to serve others through her own journey of healing from her body, mind and spirit, thanks to these ancient eastern teachings.
Her public classes are a mix between traditional Tantric Hatha, Vinyasa and Purna Yoga under the influence of a philosophical framework. Through a slow flow, breath-guided movement and compassionate Tantric self-enquiry, each practice with her is an invitation to feel deep under your skin to connect with your natural being. Fran is Yoga Alliance RYT 200 and RYT500 certified.

My exclusive, one-of-a-kind retreat offerings are for women who feel called to sacred lands to experience a beautiful balance of Sisterhood + Local Culture + Regional Cuisine + Relaxation + Fun! I have thoughtfully chosen all of our accommodations, excursions, meals, and experiences to provide a truly idyllic, safe and memorable experience. The Five Elements Retreats are NOT YOUR AVERAGE WELLNESS RETREAT! My retreats are rooted in authenticity, introspection, fun and exploration. Although we may engage in light meditation, restorative movement and self-reflection exercises throughout the retreat, these are not a meditation retreats… these are not yoga retreats… and we keep it VERY REAL! I am not here to teach you… I am here to remind you of what you already know. I create the space… you create the journey within.
Spiritual Vegan Health Coach, Felicia Cox, who made the transition in 2012 and tried it all from raw vegan, to vegetarian, plant-based, and vegan throughout her spiritual journey— is excited to introduce the rundown on everything plant-based/vegan and how her spirituality began with food and meditation.
Felicia believes that a plant-based is more than a diet. It's a lifestyle and spiritual practice that contributes to your overall physical, mental, spiritual, emotional wellness and health. Felicia offers education through services and products with personalized guidance that will get you on track to be confident in what you eat and how you feel about it, while enjoying every step of this uplifting (and delicious!) retreat at your own pace.
