Come
as you are
Leave
as you
remembered
Transformational retreats led by Deborah, where yoga, inner work, adventure and genuine community in Ibiza, Thailand, India, and beyond. Held with love, laughter, and a remembering that stays long after you leave.
«In a world screaming for your attention. Algorithms. Notifications. Noise. The most rebellious thing you can do is become fully, deeply present. With the people you love. With the nature around you. With yourself. Your attention is your most valuable currency, and you get to choose where you spend it.»
Upcoming Retreats
Two retreats, Two journeys, One destination
Yourself.
Ibiza, Spain
Root to Rise
12-19 September 2026
We have been treating the symptoms. This week, we go to the root. Seven days in a private finca in the hills of Ibiza. Where ancient practice meets modern science and your nervous system finally gets to rest. In the quiet. In the beauty. In yourself.
Koh Samui, Thailand
The 7 Day Chakra Journey
14-21 February 2027
Seven days. Seven energy centres. One awakening at a time. Our signature chakra journey, woven into the spirit and soul of Thailand. Held in an extraordinary clifftop villa, where the ancient blueprint of the chakra system guides you gently, completely, home.
What Samja Retreats Is
Samja is not your average retreat. We go somewhere most retreats don’t, into the honest, sometimes uncomfortable, ultimately liberating territory of real inner work. And we do it with joy, genuine warmth, and the kind of community where real friendships form, real things shift, and you laugh more than you expected to.
We don’t take ourselves too seriously. Just seriously enough. Led by Deborah, whose background spans yoga, wellness, and a life lived rather fully.
On our last retreat, 8 out of 14 guests were returners. That’s not a statistic. That’s a feeling. Our community comes from all walks of life. The one thing they share, they were ready to go deeper. You’ll feel it from the moment you arrive.
Hear from those who have already been here.
“I arrived feeling lost and left feeling deeply connected to myself again.”

About Deborah
For years Deborah was the person everyone wanted at their table. She just was not present at any of them.
She fell in love with yoga eighteen years ago in India. What began as a personal journey became a calling. Six years ago, Samja Retreats was born. A place to bring people back to themselves through yoga, deep inner work, genuine community and a lot of joy.
She has led retreats in India, Ibiza, Thailand and across Europe. At her last retreat, 8 out of 14 guests were returning participants. Many have since travelled the world together. That is what Samja builds: real community.
Meet Deborah this year.
Beyond retreats, Deborah teaches and facilitates at festivals and pop-up wellness days throughout the year- a great way to experience her work before committing to a full retreat.
This year you’ll find her at:
- Afrika Burn, South Africa - Wednesday 29 April, 11am, Cosmic Communitea Camp
- Goat Community Festival - Portugal 1–6 July
- Gardens of Babylon, Albania- 24–25 July
- And Ibiza wellness days throughout the summer
Bespoke Experiences
Something more personalised? There’s space for that too.
One-to-one sessions, private group wellness experiences, festivals, corporate retreats, or something entirely bespoke- Deborah works with individuals and groups to create something that fits exactly where you are and what you need.
Your group is going on a trip and wants to add a wellness dimension. The retreat dates don’t work but you want something deeper. You already have a retreat running and need an experienced facilitator, on the island or internationally.
For all of that, get in touch.
Stay connected with the Samja community.
Sign up to hear about new retreats, early access and special updates. And as a welcome gift, we will send you a free yoga class with Deborah so you can experience her work before taking the next step.
