Soul Sobriety Retreats Sober & Social Getaways

Sober & Social Getaways is a fresh, feel-good travel experience designed especially for women 40+ who want to explore, connect, and enjoy life - without the pressure of alcohol.

This isn't a retreat. There are no workshops, no deep inner work (unless you want it), and no expectations. Instead, it's about effortless travel, shared experiences, and genuine connection with like-minded women who simply want to have fun, feel included, and enjoy meaningful company.

Created as an extension of Soul Sobriety Coaching & Retreats, Sober & Social Getaways offers a relaxed and welcoming alternative for women who:

‍‍Want to travel but don't want to do it alone
Prefer a safe, supportive group environment of like-minded women
Are sober, sober-curious, or simply not interested in drinking
Crave laughter, ease, and authentic connection

Each getaway is thoughtfully curated to remove the stress of planning and the awkwardness that can come with alcohol-centric travel. Think beautiful destinations, comfortable accommodation, optional activities, shared meals, and plenty of space to unwind - without pressure or pretence.

This is travel where you can truly be yourself. Where connection comes naturally. And where the only thing you'll wake up with... is a clear head and great memories.

Meet your host

Cindy Johnston, host of Soul Sobriety Retreats and Sober & Social Getaways

As a former Grey Area Drinker and now a certified Grey Area Drinking Sobriety Coach for women, EFT Practitioner, and Retreat Leader, I’m deeply passionate about supporting women to reclaim their power and transform their lives. My work blends grounded wellness practices with gentle spirituality and a touch of fun, helping you create sustainable habits that nourish your health, happiness, and sense of self.

Since letting go of my nightly wine habit in July 2018, I’ve come to experience what author Catherine Gray so beautifully calls “The Joy of Being Sober.” That joy opened the door to my soul purpose: guiding women toward lives that feel fuller, richer, and more aligned — and creating spaces, both in coaching and on retreat, where your nervous system can soften and your soul can exhale.

Connection, fun and friendship in a safe, supportive, alcohol-free environment.

Retreat Guest Testimonials

Cindy was the perfect facilitator of our wellness retreat! She is authentic and welcoming and gave us lots of options within a well-structured and researched program. Her warmth and relaxed, friendly nature created a group that was safe and respectful. This retreat in Cambodia surpassed all expectations! I will definitely return and look forward to Cindy's future retreats or travel experiences.

- Sarah, Cambewarra, NSW

It is difficult to say that I enjoyed one thing over the other, because the entire experience was simply other worldly. Each aspect had its own joy moment which, when all combined, was telling me, that this was a retreat like no other experience I have had before, and because of that, it will be one I will forever cherish. I will miss the group, we all were vibing on the same level which enriched the experience even more. I walked away with an open mind and more of a loving heart for myself as well for others.
Cindy was an excellent host and came across very friendly and knowledgeable.

"I really enjoyed the weekend retreat connecting with fellow sober sisters, and being so well cared for by Cindy. I loved trying new things like Qigong, art therapy and the sound bath. The luxury of such beautiful accommodation and being catered for by lovely people was amazing.
I’ll be back next time!"

“I honestly loved every minute! The ladies who I met on the retreat were all very lovely and I will continue to keep in touch with them. Learning new things such as EFT and experiencing my first sound bath was a highlight as was visiting all the iconic landmarks of Cambodia. I had a blast and would definitely retreat again with Cindy!”

- Pari, Siem Reap, Cambodia

“Cindy’s retreat was life-changing! She is such an amazing person and welcomed us all with big warm hugs just like we were family.
The stunning location and luxurious accommodation was a delight and immediately caused all stresses and thoughts of the outside world to melt away.
Our chefs were amazing and took such great care of us all – I wished I could bring them home with me!
All the activities were planned with care and purpose and took us on a very personal journey of self-discovery, enlightenment, and reflection.
I’ve come away with a new appreciation for self-care and for the amazing women I had the very great pleasure to share this experience with.
Thanks Cindy for such a magical time! I can’t speak highly enough of your retreat!”
