Sustainability and Community
Your stay at BSL not only offers an unforgettable experience but also makes a meaningful impact. Here's how:
Sustainability:
Our retreat uses sustainable materials wherever possible, incising our bamboo hut eco-huts, and we're harnessing solar energy (already at 80%, heading to 100% soon).
Our organic food is sourced locally, ensuring local food producers benefit from our custom. Vegetarian and vegan options are also promoted but meat is also available.
Empowering Local Communities:
We often employ people from the island, and train them in hospitality, ensuring they have skills to take with them whenever the time comes to leave us.
We offer English lessons twice a week for the locals.
By visiting villages and encouraging purchases from the island's shop, we're boosting the local economy. We also sponsor kids' school uniforms and education.
Exciting Future Plans:
Building a Learning Education Centre, developing a Student Internship Programme, Marine Conservation Projects, growing an Eco Garden, use
100% Sustainable Energy.
Your stay with us doesn't just mean a great holiday; it contributes to these incredible initiatives. Every guest helps us get closer to achieving these goals for the community and the environment.
Social Responsibility:
At Breathe Sweat Love, social responsibility isn't just a buzzword; it's woven into the fabric of everything we do. Our commitment to giving back to the local community and supporting charitable causes is at the heart of our mission. We believe that true wellness extends beyond the individual and encompasses the well-being of the communities we visit. Through various initiatives, we actively engage with and support local communities in the Philippines. Whether it's partnering with local organizations, contributing to educational programs, or offering skills training, our aim is to create a positive ripple effect that fosters lasting change. We encourage our retreat participants to join us in these efforts, allowing them to connect with the local culture on a deeper level and leave a meaningful impact.
Philosophy
Our philosophy is the guiding light that shapes Breathe Sweat Love's approach to wellness, community, and nature. We believe that true wellness is a holistic journey that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It's about finding balance, nourishing the body with wholesome food, and nourishing the soul with meaningful connections. Our community-centered approach emphasizes the power of human connection and shared experiences. We create spaces where individuals can form deep bonds, foster personal growth, and support each other on their wellness journeys. Nature is not just a backdrop but an integral part of our philosophy. We believe in immersing ourselves in the beauty of the natural world, finding solace in its tranquility, and drawing inspiration from its majesty. It's a philosophy that encourages individuals to rediscover themselves, embrace wellness, and leave a positive mark on the world.
