Serenity

I have just spent the past week on the beautiful Tongan island of Uoleva co-hosting our annual Retreat into the Sacred Call of the Whales with Rachel Phelps and Serene Tay at serenity_beaches_resort.



Every day bar one our participants swam with the humpback whales who come annually to birth and nurture their young in the warm waters of the friendly isles. Every day they came back joyful from their life changing encounters with the whales whose energy and calmness is so healing. I am so grateful to be able to share with people the simple yet profound joy I get from whale swimming/watching which I have been blessed to experience annually for the past 7 years.


Our annual retreat, while focussed on the magic of the whales, was also a time to relax, recalibrate and find some inner serenity from the sometimes crazy, busy lives we lead. We did yoga, qigong, workshops, meditation and healings. We sat round a bonfire every night. We danced, we sang, got to know each other and made life long friends. We snorkelled, slept, read, and paddle boarded. We walked all day without shoes and resided in tropical jungle fales grounding ourselves into our environment. The Serenity Beaches resort staff cared for us and fed us nurturing local food. It truly was a magical experience and a good reminder we can live our lives more simply, with serenity and grace, and from a place of love, both for ourselves and others.


And so we are booking again for next year - likely 19-26 September 2025 - so save the dates and feel free to message me if you are interested in joining us Retreat into the Sacred Call of the Whales. More details will be shared in due course but the current programme and indicative costs are on my website https://www.tiffbabington.com/retreat-into-the-sacred-call-of-whales in the meantime 🐋💖🏝️☀️🇹🇴
