Itinerary

Day 1: Awareness, Acceptance and Appreciation
Check-In and Welcome: We arrive and settle into our serene accommodations. Upon arrival in the tranquil embrace of Tulum, as we are welcomed into a space that breathes serenity and intention the retreat begins with an evening designed to set the tone for the days ahead.

Opening Circle: As dusk envelops the sky, our group gathers in a sacred circle of mutual support and shared intentions. This opening ceremony is not just an introduction but a heartfelt invitation to embark on a journey of profound self-discovery and connection. We gather to set intentions, foster connections with each other, and introduce the retreat’s themes of embracing both the inner darkness and light.

Conscious Movement in the dark: One of the most empowering tools of transformation/life hacks as well as a fun form of exercise. We start by bringing awareness to our limiting beliefs, our programming by society, and the relationship between our inner and outer worlds. Bringing awareness to feelings of freedom and resistance in your movement and how your movement is a metaphor for how you live your life. What starts as an inner dance, turns into a dance of liberation as you break free from your limiting beliefs and as you start to manifest the life you want through moving consciously.

Sound healing closes the journey.

Day 2: Connect, Cleanse and Challenge
Morning Yoga and Meditation: A gentle start with yoga, followed by a meditation session to ground us in mindfulness and presence.

Authentic Relating Workshop: Our group dives into activities focused on building deep authentic connections

Afternoon Personal Time: Time for rest, reflection, or exploration of the surrounding natural beauty of Tulum and the Mayan temples. Or simply choose to relax by the pool with new friends. This is also a good time to use one of your complimentary massages.

Temazcal Ceremony: Historically, this began as a cleansing ritual for the people to engage in before and after going to wars because of its healing powers, purifying not just the body but the mind and soul—healing you from the inside out.

Ice Immersion: Designed to push boundaries and foster a sense of accomplishment and renewal by confronting and embracing discomfort. It's not just about the physical act of withstanding cold but also about breaking through mental barriers, symbolizing a cleansing and rebirth. Serving as a metaphor for facing and accepting one's inner darkness and fears.

Day 3: Reawaken, Rediscover and Rejoice
Morning Pilates: A session designed to awaken physical and mental resilience, preparing us for the breathwork and sound journey.

Breathwork and Sound healing: Combining Sound and breath to reach an alternate state of consciousness. During a therapeutic breathwork session your brain experiences a phenomenon called transient hypofrontality. This is where the prefrontal cortex in the brain temporarily shuts down and goes quiet. The prefrontal cortex is the home of the conscious rational brain and when this quietens down it allows the breather to tap into deep layers of subconscious mind and psyche.

Cacao ceremony and Sunset Ecstatic Dance: The retreat culminates in an extraordinary and unique location.  Immerse yourself in crystal-clear waters of the first cenote club in the world. Situated in the middle of the Mayan Jungle where serenity meets style and sophistication and your mind, body and spirit unite in movement and music.

A unique dining experience: We savor an unforgettable evening in this oasis that stimulates all your senses and takes you on a gastronomical journey through the ancient heritage of this land. Indulge in the opulent surroundings as you unwind by the cenote. The combination of fine dining, expertly crafted drinks, and the tranquility of the cenote creates a blend of sensations that soothe and invigorate simultaneously. The fusion of cuisine and rich heritage crafts a symphony of moments that linger as cherished memories long after the night fades into dawn.

Day 4: End of One Chapter, Start of New Journey

Sunrise Meditation: As we greet the new dawn, reflecting on the retreat and setting intentions for the journey ahead.

Yin and Pin Yoga Class: (Yin Yoga with Acupuncture) Bringing awareness to Chinese meridians to unwind and reflect on your journey, promoting deep relaxation and integration.

Farewell Breakfast: A communal meal to share final moments, exchange contacts, and say goodbye to new friends.
