Haifa
Haifa brings her love for connection, celebration, and creating unforgettable experiences into every detail of Shik Shak Shok. From handpicked activities and meaningful conversations to moments of joy, playfulness, and sisterhood, her intention is simple: to create a space where women feel safe to be themselves, let go of what no longer serves them, and remember how good it feels to be fully alive.

Yasmine
Yasmine brings over a decade of experience holding spaces for women to breathe, move, release, and reconnect with themselves. Through breathwork, movement, and guided practices, she helps create an environment where women can soften, put down the armour, and gently let go of what they've been carrying.

Retreat Vision & Mission
Creating Spaces For Real Connection
Creating Spaces For Real Connection
Sometimes, what we need most isn't another thing to achieve or fix. We simply need space. Space to breathe, to be ourselves, to laugh, to rest, to feel supported, and to remember who we are underneath all the noise.
Shik Shak Shok was created with that intention in mind, a space where women can come together, let go of what they've been carrying, reconnect with joy, and experience the kind of sisterhood, freedom, and connection that stays with them long after they leave Zanzibar.

Softness
The world asks so much from women. So we're creating spaces where women can rest, receive, be cared for, and remember that softness is strength too.

Joy
Not the kind of joy we save for special occasions. The kind that comes from laughing too hard, dancing barefoot, trying something new, and feeling fully present in the moment.

Connection
Real connection happens when we stop performing and start showing up as ourselves. That's the kind of connection every woman needs to experience here.

Freedom
Freedom to speak. Freedom to feel. Freedom to take up space. Freedom to be exactly who you are without worrying about how you're being perceived.

Haifa's dream is that every woman leaves feeling like she found a piece of herself she didn't realize she was missing, and a community she can always come back to.

About Haifa
Know More About Haifa
Hi, I'm Haifa.
For over a decade, I've been sharing stories, exploring the world, and building a community rooted in authenticity, connection, and curiosity.
As a storyteller, creator, and host, I've had the privilege of connecting with millions of people across cultures and continents. But the most meaningful moments have always happened beyond the screen: in real conversations, shared experiences, and spaces where people feel safe enough to truly be themselves.
That's why I created these retreats.
Not just to travel together, but to create experiences that bring people closer to themselves, to one another, and to the joy of being fully alive.
