Our story
The Phoenix, the Earth, and a world first

Phoenix Initiative was born in Colombia from a simple conviction: sport transforms lives, and transformed lives transform the world. After years of getting whole communities moving — in gyms, in the streets, up to the collective 2026 World Cup challenge — one thing became obvious: we needed a place.
That place is the Oasis. Thirty hectares in Rivera, Huila, with six waterfalls, three freshwater springs and a thermal spring. Land made extraordinarily alive by volcanic soil, chosen for a precise mission: to become the world's first center entirely dedicated to women's sports and transformational retreats.

“Like the Phoenix, every woman carries within her what burns and what is reborn.”
The Phoenix in our logo wraps around the Earth in Colombia's colors: our country welcoming the world. The Oasis is designed for women from every continent and every level — those starting out, those coming back, those who never stopped. All move forward with the same philosophy: 1% better every day.
The project is backed by a foundation in France and a team in Colombia. Eco-bungalows, an open-air gym, a sanctuary, a healthy restaurant, and eventually a solar park: everything is built with respect for the land that carries us — and every retreat funds sport-and-impact actions for the region's children.
