Girlfriend getaways: The science says do it

Dedicating this time to create the blue print of your next chapter and beyond

Most people probably don’t need an excuse to book a long-weekend getaway with close friends – especially women. But now there may be science to back your excuse girls’ trip!

Studies have shown friendship can extend life expectancy, lower chances of heart disease, and increase the production of oxytocin – the hormone that’s released in our bodies that makes us feel good when we’re happy. ~ Dr. Tim Vega OSF health care

Testimonials

Here is some of what they are saying:

From start to finish, it was a loving and safe outlet for us to grow and go within. I would not hesitate to attend another. I can't thank all of you enough I went solo on this retreat which can be somewhat scary not knowing anyone except for the hostess. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and love by both hostesses Zeina and Celine. It did not take too long before I felt at ease once I met all the other beautiful and soulful women. Celine's yoga sessions and quiet time was replenishing and very much needed for the soul. Zeina's cooking was an absolute treat every time with every morsel being so delicious. This retreat gave me a sense of confidence and new friendships.
Laura Moreau
It was a wonderful social weekend to connect with other women, and to make new friends. And Zeina is a fabulous chef! Thank you so much! A. From arrival to departure, Zeina and Celine went out of their way to accommodate our needs. Their soft gentle approach was not only welcoming but very heart-warming. They have managed to strike a perfect balance of work and play, structure and freedom. The locale was ideal and the meals were outstanding! Bravo ladies, your new venture is off to an amazing start. All of the best for many more memorable retreats in the future. 🙂

From the moment we walked in the door (that view!), Zeina and Celine wrapped us in warmth. Just the right amount of playshops and free time. It was a pressure free environment where we could live in the moment and escape outside distractions. From start to finish, it was a loving and safe outlet for us to grow and go within. I would not hesitate to attend another.
T.B
Food for the heart, body, mind and soul were in abundance. Treat yourself to a Zeina's Kitchen retreat. You won't regret it. Zeina and Celine make you feel right at home which is not an easy task when dealing with so many different personalities. Thanks gals. You rock! 🙂
J.M.
This is the most refreshing retreat I have experienced to date and I have been to more than my fair share in the last 25 years. What was most enjoyable was the laughter and connection between all. I met some wonderful women who I hope to remain in contact with and hopefully share another adventure in the future. The hosts, Zeina, Joanna and Celine are the real deal in authenticity. The 3 of them create a perfect balance, each brought great value to the weekend.
