Rewilding: A Dolphin Immersion Retreat
Women's Retreat in Bimini, Bahamas
with Aura Garver and Cheryl Schirillo
May 2026

About

This heart-opening retreat allowed us to reconnect with nature, joy, and a sense of spiritual renewal through an unforgettable journey in Bimini, a small Bahamian island. Surrounded by the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, we experienced the magic of swimming with wild Spotted and Bottlenose dolphins in their natural ocean home.

​

Each day offered opportunities to reconnect and rediscover a sense of freedom and wonder. We floated alongside dolphins, snorkeled over vibrant coral reefs with sea turtles and spotted rays, and embraced the beauty and rhythm of island life. This retreat fostered deep connection with self, with community, and with the natural world.

​

Our days on the water took place aboard DolphinQuest, a spacious Lagoon 410 sailing catamaran designed for comfort and ease, with shaded areas, wide water-access steps, and plenty of room to relax between ocean adventures - and we had plenty!

​

We were honored to partner with WildQuest, an organization that has been respectfully swimming with dolphins in Bimini for nearly 30 years. Their knowledgeable and compassionate crew provided expert guidance and support throughout the experience, creating a safe and meaningful environment for all participants. Shout out to how AMAZING this crew was!

​

Our experience included daily sunrise meditation and yoga, lots of time on the boat, breathtaking swims with dolphins every day, delicious meals by the amazing chef Medina, sweet waterfront accommodations, a postcard perfect beach, hammock naps beneath the palms, and time to shift into a slower Caribbean pace. A transformational experience was had by all.​​
