Mermaid School and Underwater Shoot Retreat Palau (March 2027)
A warm Invitation to all MerPeople
We warmly invite you to join our Mermaid School and Underwater Shoot Retreat in Palau – a magical journey designed to open your heart, reconnect with your inner strength, and make your dreams come true. From March 16th to 23rd, 2027, we will dive into the breathtaking underwater world of Palau, a paradise that will inspire and awaken the infinite beauty within yourself.
This Mermaid School and Underwater Shoot Retreat is perfect for anyone who loves the ocean and feels confident in the water. Whether you’re new to mermaiding or an experienced underwater enthusiast, this retreat welcomes you. While no prior mermaiding or diving experience is required, participants must be confident swimmers with a love for water, an open heart, and the desire to explore something extraordinary.
A Community that Connects
At this Mermaid School and Underwater Shoot Retreat, you’ll be surrounded by a community of like-minded individuals who share your passion for water, freedom, and joy. This retreat provides a safe and welcoming space where you can express yourself without judgment. Together, we’ll create an atmosphere of mutual support, inspiration, and connection.

Live Your MerDreams and Enjoy the Moment
This retreat isn’t just a break from your daily routine – it’s an opportunity to fully embrace your dreams. Whether you’ve always wanted to swim in a mermaid tail, capture stunning underwater photos, or simply immerse yourself in the magic of the ocean, this experience is for you.
Through gentle breathing and relaxation exercises, I’ll guide you to feel at one with the water. These moments of calm will help you release limitations, feel lighter, and experience a newfound freedom within yourself. Make your MerDreams come true!
Magical Underwater Moments in Palau
Palau’s unspoiled beauty offers some of the world’s most magical underwater experiences. Together, we’ll visit Shark City, where you’re likely to swim alongside graceful reef sharks. At the Jellyfish Lake, you’ll glide through a serene sea of harmless, non-stinging jellyfish, connecting deeply with this enchanting ecosystem.
These experiences are more than just adventures – they are profound reminders of our connection to nature, the ocean, and ourselves.
Creativity and Transformation
At the heart of this retreat is creativity. With the help of professional underwater photographers, you’ll create breathtaking images that capture your unique essence. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced underwater model, we’ll support you in feeling confident and empowered in front of the camera.
To ensure you arrive fully prepared, you’ll receive access to my unique Underwater Modeling Online Course before the retreat. This comprehensive course will equip you with essential skills and techniques, so you can make the most of your time underwater.
We’ll also work together on safe and graceful underwater movement, ensuring you feel secure and elegant in your mermaid tail and other outfits you’d like to be photographed in. This retreat is not just about underwater modeling; it’s about transformation, self-discovery, and unlocking your inner light.
The Black Pearl: A Dream Home for Our Retreat
Our home for the week is the luxurious Black Pearl, a name that stirs the imagination and carries the mystique of legendary adventures. For mermaids, there couldn’t be a more fitting place to set sail than aboard a ship that shares its name with the iconic vessel from Pirates of the Caribbean. Stepping onto the Black Pearl feels like entering a storybook, where the ocean becomes your stage and magic awaits at every turn.
Designed for both comfort and eco-conscious living, the Black Pearl offers spacious cabins with private bathrooms, a jacuzzi for ultimate relaxation, and sunny decks perfect for soaking in the beauty of the surrounding waters. Its state-of-the-art dive deck and facilities for underwater photography make it the ideal base for capturing your most magical mermaid moments. This ship isn’t just a home—it’s a dream setting where legends of the sea come to life, and you’re at the heart of it all.
