My name is Dominika, and I created Soul Fruit Picnics five years ago as a way of bringing together many of the things that have shaped me over the years: a love of nature and beautiful places, food, creativity, aesthetics and meaningful experiences shared with others.
I was born and raised in Poland, where I studied Architecture and Art History, and later worked as a stylist on advertising, music video and film sets. That work sharpened my eye for composition, light, colour, texture and detail. At the same time, food became another part of my creative life — developing and photographing nourishing recipes, sharing them online, and creating workshops and show cooking experiences around healthy food and wellbeing.
Then I came to Gran Canaria.
I fell in love with its landscapes, its light and the possibility of being outdoors almost all year round, but also with the way people live here: gathering by the sea, sharing food, talking, laughing and spending time together.
I feel deeply grateful that this island became my home and part of my life, and with that comes a strong sense of responsibility to care for it. This is also why Soul Fruit has always remained intentionally small and boutique. We create intimate experiences for micro-groups, with great respect for the natural environment and for the quieter, more hidden corners of the island. We choose locations carefully, work around the landscape rather than imposing on it, and treat every place as somewhere to protect, not simply somewhere to use.
Wellbeing has also been an important part of my life for almost twenty years — learning how to feel better, live with more energy and stay connected to what really matters. Today, I also teach yoga, I’m raising two daughters, and I spend as much time as I can outdoors, whether that means surfing, being in nature or disappearing on a spontaneous trip. In many ways, that same search for balance, presence and a fuller way of living is also part of what I bring into Soul Fruit.
What I love most is creating these little worlds for other people and being part of moments they will remember: proposals, weddings, birthdays, celebrations, or simply a beautiful day together.
At its heart, Soul Fruit is about beauty, food, wellbeing, nature and meaningful time together.
