Seasters Maldives Retreat

Hi, my name is Monica, but my friends call me Moni; I’m a 26-year-old island girl, yogi, traveler, and ocean soul, passionate about the sea, sisterhood, feminine embodiment, introspection practices such as journaling, yoga, and meditation, as well as astrology. I was born and raised on a small island in the Caribbean and have spent my whole life near the ocean. Whether catching waves or diving underneath the surface to discover the wildness of its depths, the ocean has always been home. If you asked me where I am from, I wouldn’t be able to tell you the exact place, as I’ve never lived more than five years in the same country since I was 10 years old. This nomadic upbringing has allowed me to feel at home anywhere I go while developing a strong sense of excitement for changes, adaptability, detachment, curiosity, and craving for the unknown. I am always seeking discomfort in order to further my growth and experience new things. I’m a 500hr CYT & IKO ( Kitesurfing Instructor ). My yoga teaching journey started when I was 18, when I did my 200h YTTC in the Dominican Republic. Since then, I've taught yoga everywhere I've lived; in 2022, I did my 300h YTTC in Goa, India, and this allowed me to dive even deeper into my own practice and teaching, directing my knowledge and expertise more towards introspection adding journaling as a tool to go more within as well as feminine embodiment and Taoism philosophy, working with the balance between the feminine and masculine energies and consistently trying to bring them into balance. I have also taught surfing and kitesurfing from an early age. I brought my yoga and watersports expertise with me everywhere I’ve traveled and lived, among which the Dominican Republic, Italy, Bali, and now Australia, where I have been living since 2020. In Australia, I started holding space for women's circles, moon rituals, and workshops oriented towards introspection and self-development, both online and presential. I’m particularly fascinated by the duality that exists within everything, and I forever seek practices that balance our masculine and feminine energies and integrate as much the light as the shadows within. I believe that only by doing so can we regain access to our innate wholeness and reclaim our power. My passion and love for sisterhood run deep, and that's why I created Sisters, a community of sisters who share a passion for the ocean and self-development. A tribe like no other that supports and empowers each other to unveil the most vibrant version of themselves while rewilding and accessing the magic and healing the ocean has to offer. I invite you to join the Seaster tribe and come to our gatherings, workshops, and retreats, where you will connect with like-minded ocean souls.
