Hi, my name is Sasha and I am the host and organiser of the retreats in Emerald House Village, Siargao.

Siargao has been my second (if not my first) home since my initial visit in 2017. I arrived as a tourist with no intention to stay and simply never departed. The local community, nature, and surfing have ignited a source of inspiration within me. Regardless of how clichéd it may sound, they prompted a transformation in my life.

For several years now, I've nurtured a dream of organizing holistic well-being retreats in this enchanting place. Just as it was on the verge of becoming a reality, the outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted travel plans worldwide. Sometimes, the best things truly require patience, and during this waiting period, remarkable individuals, instructors, and mentors have entered my life, offering me a precious opportunity to bring this dream to fruition alongside them.

Moreover, within the most wonderful green oasis, Emerald House Village – the resort owned by my beloved soulmate, Dalvina – I am filled with gratitude beyond what words can convey. Come, let me guide you to experience this enchantment.

Love, Sasha
