Welcome to Sobertopia®, where you belong!
Sobertopia® Retreats are the perfect opportunity to connect with other sober (curious) women in a fun and exciting setting. To chat & laugh together, enjoy tasty alcohol-free drinks & lovely meals, participate in fun activities, and learn new things; about yourself, and about living an alcohol-free life… Joyfully!
I have been organising alcohol-free retreats for women in sunny Spain since 2021, and this year I’m hosting my first-ever retreat in the United States: The Sobertopia® Together Twice Weekend Retreat – An alcohol-free women’s retreat spread over two days, focused on authentic connection.
Together Twice: An Alcohol-Free Women’s Weekend Retreat
Because once isn’t enough ✨
Join us for Together Twice, a two-day alcohol-free weekend retreat designed for busy women who crave connection, renewal, and a little magic in nature. Set in a charming small Californian town surrounded by trees and fresh air, this retreat is your chance to recharge and realign — without having to pack an overnight bag.
We’ll gather on both the Saturday and Sunday (November 22nd & 23rd, 2025) at 10am, when we start our days full of soulful activities, like movement, journaling, interactive workshops, and meaningful connection. In between you’ll have the comfort of returning home (or to your own chosen lodging), making this a super flexible weekend escape!
✨ Why Join?
Because you only need two days to:
- Recharge with yoga, sound healing, and grounding practices
- Reconnect through journaling, group walks, and meaningful conversation
- Rise into clarity, joy, and fresh inspiration
- Belong in a vibrant, supportive circle of women who get it
🌿 What’s Included
- Two inspiring workshops:
Workshop – ‘Holiday Thrive‘: A Workshop for Women Who Want to Enjoy the Season — Not Just Survive It | By Susan Larkin

- Restorative yoga
- Sound healing
- Journaling

GUEST TESTIMONIALS from former guests that have attended one or more of my sober retreats in the past
Izzy is a great host! She had great activities planned and delicious food and drinks. The house and location were beautiful. I wish I could have stayed a week!
Andi (San Francisco, United States) – Sobertopia Beach Retreat 2025
Izzy is amazing! Nothing is too much trouble and she is such fun! She effortlessly makes you see there is life after booze!
The retreat is a real tonic and boost to your sober journey – and you will meet some great like minded people from all different walks of life and different cultures – and you realise you’re all in the same boat and not sailing your ship alone.
Fun, motivation + luxury! If you’re thinking of trying one of Izzy’s retreats, I would thoroughly recommend it.
Finn (Ireland/Spain) – Sober Bliss Retreat June 2022 + 2023 + 2024
This retreat with Izzy is one of the best things I have ever done for myself! Izzy is a wonderful host, she thinks about everything + everyone’s needs. Such a loving + fun person!
Thank you Izzy for my amazing weekend, I hope I can do another retreat with you someday soon! xxx 🙂
Jacky (Gloucestershire, UK) – Sober Bliss Retreat June 2023
For anyone that is thinking of a sober life, or already started a sober life, this is the retreat for you! It doesn’t matter what age you are or what background you come from – for one week, you come together as a group of fantastic women – all on the same journey to sobriety.
And boy, what fun do you have! You learn about yourself, and you learn that life without alcohol can be so much more fun! Izzy is an inspiration! Pure fun and beautiful energy. All I can say is book a trip!
Liz (Essex, UK) – Sober Bliss Retreat June 2022
As I write this, I´m looking across the Strait of Gibraltar with the beautiful mountainous coast of Morocco so close I could touch it and there is a symphony of birds chirping and cooing. I. Don´t. Want. To. Leave. The setting, activities, amenities and food all exceeded my expectations. But way beyond that, you provided an experience that allowed me to unplug completely, push myself and feel proud of myself. I wish I could bottle up the experience but I know I will be taking some of it home with me and that I will be back next year.
Izzy, you attract great people. All the teachers & facilitators were really beautiful souls and generous with their time and the way they connected with us. And I feel spoiled from the delicious food, which had so much depth of flavour and was hearty, plentiful and beautifully presented. You struck the perfect balance of providing an experience that felt like a “good for me” retreat with a luxurious vacation.
A group of kick-ass international women open to new experiences, a beautiful villa with a stunningly dramatic view (better than the photos), a fun mix of activities to get unplugged and push ourselves a bit, with delicious food, time to read or get a massage and Izzy´s fun bubbly personality… Who wouldn´t fall in love?!
