We will connect as a community via Zoom to organize travel details and meet each other before embarking on our adventure. Upon returning from the retreat, spend an additional four weeks reflecting on your personal journey within our group. Together, we will integrate the lessons learned into our daily lives while implementing meaningful life shifts.
When we met in 2015, we came from very diverse professional backgrounds and life experiences, yet, we quickly discovered a shared dream. That's how our adventure-based partnership began.
Every year, we express our gratitude for the opportunity to work with such amazing retreat participants in such a beautiful country filled with rich culture and diverse people. We are continually honored to witness women and all travelers alike reveal many precious and courageous parts of themselves.
While Marni brings forward-facing vision and inspiration to our retreats, creating a space for bold and transformative experiences, Kelli is the vital connection to Belize, ensuring every logistical detail aligns perfectly for a seamless and enriching journey. Together, we balance each other's strengths, blending visionary ideas with practical execution to craft an experience that is both transformative and effortless.
Our clear intention is to create an experience and environment that honors, celebrates, and replenishes not only our circle of people on retreat, but the people of Belize as well!
Retreat is about YOU . . . but we thought you'd like to know who is behind the scenes creating the magic!
Hi there! I'm Kelli Soll, Director of Global Service Partnerships. Since 2013, I've been creating bespoke international service and travel opportunities for global citizens of all ages in Belize, Central America.
My focus has been on education-based programs in primary schools in several districts of Belize for several years, and since the pandemic, I've broadened my work to support adults in their journeys of self-discovery and international adventure.
I love to bring people together to unite in a common goal and am always emphasizing the human desire to create connections and discover our own individuality within a global community.
I'm a master of logistics in Belize and love creating smooth travel schedules. Let me handle the details! Connecting global citizens with local partners to create authentic experiences, while prioritizing traveler comfort and safety, has been incredibly rewarding.
I deeply believe that travel accelerates growth, connection, and self-discovery. It's addictive, exhilarating, and challenging.
Let’s embrace the adventure of life and experience paradise together!
When I’m not adventuring among the pines, mixing up a batch of handmade soaps, or laughing with my grown kids and two beloved pups, you’ll find me guiding others through life’s messiest and most meaningful transitions.
Through my private health education practice, I walk (sometimes literally) beside clients rediscovering wholeness after BIG LIFE CHANGE—grief, loss, reinvention, or any season where the ground shifts. Together, we navigate the path back to wellness with humor, heart, and a strong cup of coffee or some delicious chocolate!.
With over 30 years of experience, my “hat collection” includes patient advocate, whole health educator, life coach, personal trainer, and ceremony leader. Titles aside, my calling is this: to help you connect with your heart, reclaim your strength, and live with rooted resilience.
Psst... Want to know why I adore facilitating this retreat in Belize? It's because the environment, the people, and the ocean all come together to create a truly magical experience.
During our week together, we'll create some magic in one of the most beautiful locations on Earth, filled with unforgettable moments, sweet connections, and playful curiosity.
Honestly, who doesn’t need a restorative retreat right about now?
This retreat is for the woman who feels the tug of transformation—whether she’s in the messy middle of change, quietly reimagining her life, or simply craving a sacred pause.
It’s for the woman who’s carried a lot… maybe too much… and is finally ready to set something down. For the one who wants to laugh without explaining, rest without guilt, and reconnect with the version of herself that feels most true.
It’s for seasoned journeyers and curious newcomers. For those healing after loss and those asking, What now? For the brave hearts who long for community but also deeply value time to reflect.
Whether she’s dipped her toe into becoming or is ready to cannonball into it, this retreat says: Come as you are. Come breathe. Come remember who you are becoming.
Join us and relax, play, and dive into meaningful experiences, embarking on a journey of inner growth. At Horizons, you'll embrace the freedom of being your whole and authentic self, mind, body, and spirit.
What we require from you: curiosity, an open heart and mind, and a sense of adventure!
Say goodbye to feelings of exhaustion, burnout, and uninspiration. This is your perfect opportunity to rest, heal, nurture, and thrive. You'll learn to be more present with yourself and others, shifting from “brain chatter” to heart wisdom.
Gain valuable insights to strengthen your health and well-being. Welcome playful curiosity as you explore yourself, your relationships, your community, and the world.
Rediscover the joy and meaning in life. Shake things up and try something new.
This is your chance to rejuvenate and embark on a transformative journey.

What is the cancellation policy?
The fee charged to participate in the retreat can be paid in full or in installments. Participant understands and agrees that after they have applied for and confirmed participation in the retreat, GSP will make arrangements for the retreat based on Participant’s attendance (for example, booking lodging and not accepting other Program participants for the slot taken by Participant). For this reason, in the event Participant cancels enrollment in the retreat after registration and confirming participation, all monies paid on or before the notice of cancellation shall be retained in order to offset its loss of business as listed below. We reserve the right to cancel the trip if it is not meeting the trip minimum (if we do so, your funds are refunded in full). Trip cancellation insurance is always recommended whenever making travel plans. Should you have to cancel your attendance, please advise us with written documentation and receive a written confirmation from GSP.
Please indicate on your registration any food allergies we can prepare for. While we are in San Ignicio at the Sweet Songs Resort, family style meals prepared can accommodate food sensitivities. When we travel to Caye Caulker, you will be ordering your food from the local island restaurants and can choose what foods to modify. The main food staples in Belize include: mangoes, papaya, beans, rice, seafood, chicken, eggs, and plantains.
There are popular routes into Belize (Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport) from Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, and Miami. Please book the flight that’s best for your home destination and arrive anytime on October 17th, 2025 and depart October 25th, 2025. We will be greeting you as soon as you exit the Belize City International Airport (BZE) and will be taking care of the rest from there!
We are always happy to help individuals book airfare and provide additional ideas if you’d like to arrive early or stay later than the retreat to do additional traveling.
“My experience with Marni was beyond my expectations. I felt like I was in a protective bubble and the women who surrounded me, who had never met me before (or each other), were like family. The common thread of course is a journey in front of us for life. So many tools, words, conversations, support, love and positivity were received. I started the week out nervous and on an uneasy path, however, by the end of the week I felt I had purpose, a new path of hope and a different perspective which will allow me to stay the course. I would highly recommend Marni, the retreat and her overall expertise, kindness and professionalism.”
"I learned so much about myself on the trip to Belize with you. I navigated international travel, all the shots, and paperwork necessary to make this trip happen. I swam a river, a cave, the barrier reef ..... and with sharks! These are things I would never have dreamed of without this opportunity of a lifetime. Thank you for showing me that whatever happens in my life I know I will be okay.”
"The trip to Belize was an opportunity for me to travel independently outside of the United States. I wanted to unplug from the stress of the expectations others have of me. The trip was the most amazing experience. I found friendships with other women, the accommodation were A+ rating, and I always felt safe. I walked to the beach every morning and watched the new sun rise. I will carry the memories with me forever. I left the retreat feeling grounded, peaceful, confident, grateful for the experience."
" I leave Belize feeling refreshed, balanced and ready to continue my journey. I enjoyed the balance of group work and my own exploration was perfect. This was such a wonderful experience, thank you!" Carrie
"I lived through swimming with sharks and lots of awesome life altering adventures. Sharing stories and experiences with others was wonderful and so was my alone time on the dock. I do not know how to thank you for the experience in Belize. I will cherish the memories forever. I am home and I have yet to feel my "funk". I truly believe I may have left it in the waters off the coast of Belize. I think this trip challenged me to overcome so many fears I had inside. I overcame so many fears I can hardly believe it myself. I feel so empowered and excited to see where my journey leads me." Carol

" I loved every minute of the retreat and the company! The snorkeling was the high-lite for me. It has taught me so much about myself and helped to understand the things I want to conquer in order to continue my journey. My heart needed this....I feel more in tune with myself....stronger! " Verna
"After meeting Marni and Kelli months before our trip, I expected to have an amazing time in Belize, which surpassed my expectations. From the challenging ATM caves to snorkeling in shark alley, it will go down as one of the best experiences of my life and one I will never forget. What I didn’t expect was to feel so comfortable around a group of women I hadn’t met before. With Marni’s comforting guidance I think we all learned that we aren’t alone in our feelings of loss and actually came away with the necessary tools to continue on our life journey to the fullest. I think Kelli said it best “sometimes circumstances bring special people into your life at just the right time, people you were meant to meet all along”. I will never forget my time in Belize or the amazing women I met there. I’m so happy to have met Marni and Kelli, two women who are truly striving to make a difference in this world and nailing it."
