How This Trip Can Change Your Life

overview

In the hustle of modern life, it can be hard to find time for what matters most—family. The Seeds of Change Family Retreat offers an opportunity to step away from daily distractions and embark on an eight-day journey designed to help families reconnect, learn, and grow together.

This thoughtfully crafted retreat combines adventure with purpose, offering your family the chance to immerse in a new culture and make a difference through a local community volunteering project. Your days will be filled with meaningful activities, including a one-day safari that invites you to experience the beauty of nature up close. Additionally, you’ll take part in a fundraising initiative that adds a deeper sense of purpose to your journey.

Central to the experience is a comprehensive coaching and educational programme. These sessions, designed for both children and parents, focus on fostering empathy, self-awareness, and confidence. It’s an opportunity for your family to develop new skills, strengthen relationships, and explore your place in the world, all within a supportive environment.

The retreat also includes UGO’s three pillars of happiness, which guide each aspect of the programme. These foundational principles ensure that every moment—whether it’s a shared meal, a group activity, or quiet reflection—encourages personal and collective growth.

If you’re looking for a retreat that offers more than just a holiday, the Seeds of Change Family Retreat provides a rich, meaningful experience. With cultural immersion, hands-on volunteering, educational coaching, and unforgettable adventures, it’s the perfect setting to create lasting memories and deepen your connection as a family.

Jill Knowles
"Traveling with your children makes them more aware of the world and cultures and makes them more flexible people. I think too there is a bond that's created while traveling. Living life and experiencing the world together, growing together and creating a lifetime of memories. It's just the best!"
Shelby
"It’s hard to put into words, but being well-traveled has shaped the people we are, the hearts we have for others, and the way we interact with the world we live in. It’s an intangible thing, and it is priceless."
