Mediterranean Wellness Journey: Breathwork & Art Retreat in Tunisia

Flow & Rise starts with one night in Tunis, where you'll stay near the capital's historic center and get your first taste of Tunisia—the medina, the cafes, the Mediterranean light. From there, you travel together to Mahdia, about a three-hour drive down the eastern coast, and check into Dar Toumi, a traditional white-and-blue guesthouse with four bedrooms, a pool, and a rooftop. The house is a short walk from the beach, and most sessions happen either in the house or on the sand. Mornings typically open with breathwork or yoga, afternoons are given to art therapy, journaling, or cultural excursions, and evenings are free for the beach, the pool, or the rooftop.

What makes this retreat stand out is its dual facilitation. Roshni Shergill is an ERYT 350 trauma-informed yoga teacher and breathwork therapist who has led retreats for years, and Taher Toumi is a French-Tunisian design and art advisor based in Dubai. Taher brings an art-based approach—think guided drawing, vision boards, or creating something from found beach objects—that's different from the usual yoga-and-meditation retreat. The program also includes a hammam visit, a cooking class, and a day trip along the coast, so it's less about seclusion and more about experiencing Tunisia with a wellness thread running through it.

The location itself is part of the draw. Mahdia is a working fishing town with a historic medina, not a tourist hub, and Dar Toumi is a real home, not a resort. You'll eat Tunisian food cooked by a private chef, shop in local markets, and hear the call to prayer from nearby mosques. If you're looking for a retreat that feels grounded in its place rather than interchangeable with a thousand other wellness packages, this is a good fit.
