The food was incredible and plentiful, and my food allergy was dealt with really professionally, I felt very confident that I was taken care of. The yoga was wonderful, I really enjoyed the classes. And finally I was so appreciative of the two life guards during the swimming sessions. I'm not a strong swimmer, but enjoyed the swims very much.

Our Story “On some level, I’ve always known the water makes me feel better…” ​ When Salt Sisterhood founder Lauren realised that she felt the same sense of calm after being in the sea mirrored in her yoga practice, an idea began to form. She wanted to create a space that brought women together, allowing them to feel the healing benefits of both activities in combination. Within a supportive community, Lauren dreamt of teaching others the tools she used in her own life to combat anxiety, reconnect with herself and find happiness. Lauren’s dream became a reality when she founded The Salt Sisterhood in 2018. The retreats are focused on a central theme of connection which is interwoven throughout the experience. The meaning of the word Yoga is 'to unite' or 'to bring together', essentially - it is all about connecting. Connecting with nature, with one another and ultimately with oneself. The Salt Sisterhood allows women to delve into wild swimming, practice yoga, mindfulness, meditation and eat healthy, organic food. Lauren’s aim is to enable you to come home to yourself in a welcoming, inclusive space. An Interview with Our Founder Founder Lauren has a moving story to tell about the power of swimming and its ability to bring people together and forge female friendships. In this episode, Freya Bromley speaks with Lauren about the retreats she runs along with partner Patrick, banishing negative self talk, how we can not just accept that there’s light and dark in life, but also lean into it. And how yoga and swimming can help with that. LISTEN NOW What's in a name? Read more about the story behind our name from our founder Lauren READ THE JOURNAL Our Ethos Created on the foundation of connection, The Salt Sisterhood embodies this idea through each aspect of the business. Through exploring our connection with nature we encourage women to experience the benefits of cold water swimming and being outdoors. We also strive to champion sustainability within our supplier relationships, and always consider the effect of The Salt Sisterhood on others and the environment. The food served on our retreats is organic and locally sourced where possible, and our swimwear line is handmade in the UK using environmentally friendly materials. We feel a strong connection with Mother Nature, and therefore we are constantly working to protect her. Read more about our sustainability policies here: SUSTAINABILITY

I felt really safe and was still able to completely relax even though it was clear that things were being run in a bit of a different way this time. Lauren and the team have worked so hard to think of everything to make these retreats safe but still enjoyable and a real escape from reality." Jo, UK

Refunds will be made back to the original payment method within 7-10 working days of the receipt of your returned order. Items received after 14 days will not be eligible for a refund, and will be posted back to you. Please note that you will be liable for the cost of returning such items back to you. ​ FAULTY ITEMS All garments are checked for quality by hand at our production house, and we will re-check your order thoroughly again before sending to you, but if you find a manufacturing fault or your order has been packed incorrectly then the items can of course be returned. Please contact us so we can rectify any problems as soon as possible. The return of any items that are not found to be faulty and are not suitable for resale due to their condition (for example: worn; washed; soiled; damaged or altered in any way) will not be accepted and we will not be able to refund you. Such items will be sent back to you at your original postal address provided when ordering, and you will be liable for the cost of postage. ​ CANCELLING AN ORDER ​ We accept cancellations from the moment you place your order until 14 days after delivery of your goods.
