That's a Wrap - The Adventure Retreat, Formentera 2025
It's more than a holiday - it's a transformational process - are you coming next year?
Dear B&B Family
I got back from Formentera late last night, and today I’m heading to ‘The Fertility Show’ at London’s Olympia to talk about coping with the ups and downs of IVF. I think the biggest and best advice I can give anyone is to go on an adventure - it will make you feel alive, and it could just change your life.
It’s hard to sum up the last week in words, so this post comprises 40 photos in an attempt to sum it up in pictures instead. But what I can say is that it was profound. Ten women arrived on the idyllic island of Formentera as strangers and, over the course of a week, we formed bonds that in other circumstances would take a lifetime to build. Each of us arrived carrying shit in our rucksacks of all shapes and sizes - some of us quietly brave, others open-hearted with fear. But gradually as we swam, walked, talked, cried, laughed, ate, drank, listened to music, sang, danced and created art - the shit fell away and we coloured our adventure and became our super-powered selves.
Want to join us next year? An ‘early bird’ booking price is available now until the end of May. See here: https://swimquest.uk.com/save-me-from-the-waves-formentera/
Or if you can’t wait, join us in Scotland for our three-day Christmas retreat - with colder water, higher hills, plus roaring fires and a wee-dram or two!

The most glorious of weeks - what an utter joy and privilege it was to be a part of it. I feel so fortunate to have been on the adventure team, and to have met and gotten to know such a group of fabulous, brave, open hearted and kind women.
Here’s to 2026! 🙌🏻
A life changing adventure....I know this because I'm still thinking about how much I grew from it. We had hard tears and hard laughter and everything inbetween! Crucially for me, there was no small talk, just absolute openness with no script and no filters. And it was you Jessica who opened up this precious space (I say this through tears of gratitude) xxx
Here's to our next adventure! xxx
