Luna Zorro Creative Retreat
Gaia Riverlodge, Belize
Hosted by Molly Berry & Silvana Vanfretti
A four-night creative retreat based on the Five Sisters Waterfall in Belize, created for founders, designers and makers, as well as anyone who wants to step away and return to community and remember the value of creativity.
Hosted by Molly Berry, Founder of Luna Zorro, in collaboration with Silvana Vanfretti, Wellness Facilitator, and Yoga Teacher - this experience is intentionally slower than our other journeys and focuses on a creative reset in nature versus moving through bustling city scapes.
We’ll be staying at Gaia RiverLodge based within the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve in the Cayo District of Belize. Gaia also happens to be a place very close to Molly’s heart and is a property that she has spent a lot of time and energy consulting on for interior and experiential design.
During your stay, accommodations, all activities, and all meals are included, allowing the week to feel seamless and peaceful.
This retreat is for creatively driven women who value community and reflection, and for those who feel ready for a meaningful reset.

This curated trip is considered a luxurious, boutique travel experience. Not super high-end, but definitely not budget travel.
We care deeply about how we invest in tourism and aim to work with hotels, restaurants and partners who have a positive social impact and a true understanding of how to take care of clients.
We set high expectations for hospitality and how we can support our clients to have a deeply authentic, thoughtful, safe and fun trip. We love great style and design but we also get excited about off-the-beaten-path experiences that are super unique and which aren’t always perfectly polished or cookie cutter.
