Read what Jelany had to say about her 1:1 Plant-Based Wellness retreat in Suriname.

“The Ital Momma Retreat in Suriname was AMAZING! It still feels like a dream.

From the moment Mygella picked me up from the airport I felt very welcomed. I felt like I was fully taken care of and I could turn off the part of my brain that thinks ahead and organizes and arranges things. The whole experience was very relaxing.

I loved that we started every day with meditation, journaling and bodywork. A lovely centering and grounding start of our day. I felt like I really got to go on an inner journey while traveling, both because of the meditation and journaling (and the releasing ritual we did) and because of Mygella’s openness and willingness to give guidance and share her knowledge and insights about life and spirituality in more depth.

We had a perfect mix of activities: culture (city tour, Pikinseei, Koto Museum), active/creative (Ananasberg, cooking class, Angisa workshop) and relaxing. I also just loved the "everyday experiences", like doing groceries and trying all the new-to-me fruits that truly made me feel connected to my Surinamese roots and culture. Very on theme! Everyday was a new adventure, but at the same time it was also very chill, because everything was so well planned, balanced and taken care of.

The food was amazing!! And even though I'm Surinamese, I know how prominent meat is in Surinamese cuisine and I do usually eat meat, I didn't miss animal products at all! All the meals were so tasty and nourishing.”
