A New Era of SOMA Retreats
In 2025, SOMA BYRON began a new chapter when it was acquired by Lorna Jane, the brand that pioneered Active Living. For more than three decades, Lorna Jane has inspired women around the world to live with vitality and purpose, and now, as custodian of SOMA, she carries this renowned sanctuary into its next evolution.
This new era brings together SOMA’s reputation as a deeply mindful retreat with Lorna Jane’s vision and values. As such, we are currently collaborating with leading life and wellness experts to craft transformative and purposeful retreat programs.
We will be sharing our new calendar of SOMA retreats in March and will be opening the doors to these retreats in September. We look forward to sharing these with you. Read on to learn more and register your interest below.
SOMA is evolving into a home for thoughtfully curated retreats that explore impactful areas of life. Guests are invited into a gentle but powerful daily rhythm designed to restore balance across body, mind and spirit. Each retreat focuses on specific themes – some of these will be health-based topics such as longevity, hormonal harmony or gut health, while other retreats will focus on how to rewire your habits, cultivating the life of your dreams or how to build a purposeful business.
A typical day at SOMA weaves movement, nourishment, nature and rest around the core theme we explore. Each morning begins with a rise ritual, which is followed by a movement practice in the forest-immersed dome. A delicious wholefoods breakfast awaits, which supports clarity and sustained energy throughout the morning. Workshops and guided sessions then explore the retreat’s core topic - whether that is stress resilience, nervous system health, confidence and self-worth or core beliefs - held in calming spaces that invite honest reflection and connection.
After lunch, the afternoon is for time in nature, spa therapies, sauna and cold immersion, or quiet time and journalling. As the sun sets all guests gather for dinner, with the evening then flowing into simple rituals: meditation, sound healing or fire side chats under the stars to integrate what has been learned. Sleep is honored as a core luxury at SOMA, with rooms designed to support deep rest.
Across every retreat, joy and laughter are encouraged alongside depth - so you get to leave not only clearer and more grounded, but also recharged and ready to bring active living through movement, nourishment and belief back into everyday life.
