A magical week at Suryalila with 17 incredible women, our 2025 Meala Soul Retreat was a celebration of renewal, rest, and connection. Set in the golden hills of Andalusia, the week unfolded through yoga, breathwork, creativity, and shared meals, inviting each of us to soften, reconnect, and return home to ourselves.

Together, we nourish our bodies and spirits, celebrate the light returning, and prepare for a vibrant and fulfilling year ahead.

“From the greeting on Day 1 we were supported and surrounded by positive, affirming energy. Bridget is an excellent teacher and Meritta ensured that everyone was looked after and all her 'chickens' were happy.. one of the most life-enhancing things I have done. The benefits will continue long after I leave Suryalila and will sustain me until the next retreat.”

“When Meritta sent me the invite to attend her's and Bridget's yoga retreat Meala Soul, I jumped at the opportunity as it was taking place abroad and in January. For years I had been wanting to be out of Ireland in January and here it was. 2024 had been a full and heavy year and I needed an escape. Well, by day 2, I knew that I had found the perfect escape, a place that I see myself returning over and over again. Suryalila ticks all the boxes for my busy life head and tired body. A truly wonderful down to earth, guilt-free escape. And the food is beautiful, never did I think that vegetarian food could be so varied and tasty. Suryalila - heaven on earth. Thank you Vidya for following your dream, and thank you Bridget and Meritta for organising this mind-blowingly grounding, enjoyable, creative and releasing retreat.”
