  • When you choose Anima, you're not just signing up for a retreat; you're stepping into a transformative journey that nourishes your soul and connects you with the beauty of the world. We pride ourselves on a few key things that truly set us apart from the rest:

    1. Balance

    Discover the perfect balance between exploration and mindfulness as our retreats harmoniously blend exhilarating adventures with soul-nourishing experiences, nurturing both body and soul. You’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of local lifestyles and cultures at our unique destinations. Traveling with Anima is designed to be a holistic journey for your well-being, inviting you to create a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.

    1. Curated with Care

    We take pride in the care and diligence poured into every aspect of our retreats, which truly sets us apart. Each detail is meticulously considered and thoughtfully curated to provide you with a seamless, nurturing, and high-quality experience. From our exceptional retreat facilitators to the carefully crafted itineraries, you’ll feel the time and effort we’ve invested, ensuring every moment becomes an unforgettable memory.

    1. Connection

    Going on an Anima adventure is more than just exploring stunning landscapes—it’s about connecting and reconnecting. Reconnecting with the essence of each destination, with your fellow travellers, and most importantly, with yourself. We bring together nature, movement, and mindfulness, giving you the space to release stress and disconnect from everyday pressures. By the end of your journey, you’ll feel reset and rejuvenated, with meaningful connections that last long after the retreat.

    1. Tailored for You

    As a community-driven platform, we go beyond the typical role of guides or leaders. We’re dedicated to creating genuine connections with our travellers, building friendships that last beyond the retreat. Whether you’re joining us solo or with a friend, you’ll be welcomed with open arms to our community. Anima is a place where you can create lifelong memories in some of the world’s most beautiful locations. More than that, it’s a sanctuary where you’re free to be your true self.

  • At Anima, we strive to go beyond the traditional role of tour guides. We are dedicated to nurturing genuine connections with our travellers, forging friendships to last beyond the journey's end.

    Whether you're embarking on a solo adventure or with a group, we invite you to join us in creating profound, lasting memories. Our aim is to grant you absolute freedom, offering options that align with your preferences while you travel with us.

    We provide opportunities to pause, reflect, reconnect with yourself and nature, and relish moments spent with fellow travellers. Traveling with Anima is aimed to be a holistic experience that nourishes your mind, body, and soul.

  • We offer a variety of payment options tailored to your preferences. You can choose to pay in full or secure your booking with a deposit of £600 per person.

    If these options don't quite suit with your needs, we're open to discussing flexible payment plans that can be customised to your preferences. For comprehensive details about our payment plans or to explore personalised options, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at ai@animauniverse.co.uk.

    We're here to ensure your journey is as comfortable and hassle-free as possible.

  • Absolutely!

    We welcome solo travellers with open arms, and are committed to making you feel safe and at home throughout your journey. Many of our guests embark on our journeys independently, and our trips provide an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded souls from around the world. Our group dynamic cultivates a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where you can forge new connections and create lasting memories.

    So, take a leap of faith and join us alone. You will experience the power of connecting with strangers and you will find a warm and welcoming community awaiting you on our adventures.

  • If you have chosen shared occupancy, you will share your room with another traveller of the same gender. For those who have opted for single occupancy, you will enjoy the privacy of having a room all to yourself.

    If you are traveling with friends or as part of a group, we will ensure that you are accommodated together in the same room or suite. Alternatively, if you are embarking on this journey as a solo traveller, rest assured that we will make arrangements to ensure you are comfortably accommodated.

  • Yes!

    Our retreats are open to all bodies and levels.

    Our instructors are professionally trained and they will be able to offer modifications to accommodate for injuries or varied fitness levels. However, we recommend that you get in touch with us prior to the trip if there is anything that you think we should be aware of.

  • Nope!

    Anima is based in London, but we welcome travellers from all over the world.

    Our trips are usually conducted in English. With that being said, we have a diverse, multilingual team at Anima and we are a community-driven platform, emphasising on diversity and inclusion everywhere we go, so don’t be afraid to join us.

  • After securing a spot, you will receive an order confirmation email and our team will be in touch with you soon after that with more information about the trip.

    If you paid in deposit, you will receive a reminder email about payment of any outstanding sums owed (the balance) 15 to 30 days before due date. The balance must be made at least 60 days before the start date of your trip. For bookings made less than 30 days before departure, full payment is required at the time of purchase and no booking fee (deposit) will be offered.

    You will receive another email with more information about the trip 30 days before the trip and 14 days before the trip to make sure you know exactly where to be and when. Feel free to contact us anytime, if you have any questions about your trip.

  • We understand that no one books with the intention of cancelling or postponing their trip, but often unexpected things do happen, so we advise you to have adequate travel cancellation insurance in place before booking your trip.

    If you need to cancel any booking, cancellation fees will apply. Any notice of cancellation must be provided in writing.

    If you cancel 90 days or more before the start date of your trip, you will be refunded the full amount paid up to that date, and excluding the £600 per person deposit which is non-refundable.

    If you cancel between 60 - 90 days before the start date of your trip, you will be refunded 50% of any sums paid, and excluding the £600 per person deposit which is non-refundable.

    If you cancel less than 60 days before the start date of your trip, all sums are non-refundable, and including the £600 per person deposit which is non-refundable, resulting in a forfeit of any and all sums paid.

    Due to our need to commit to accommodation and other arrangements in advance, exceptions to our policy cannot be made for any reason, and we hope for your understanding.
