WE HAVE PUT ALL 2020 RETREATS ON HOLD DUE TO COVD19. WE ARE WATCHING CONDITIONS CLOSELY FOR 2021 AND WILL ADJUST OUR SCHEDULE BASED ON HOW THE SITUATION DEVELOPS. STAY TUNED AND BE SAFE!

Since the Mayans roamed these sacred lands, Tulum has been a destination for transformation; a place of real magic and beauty. We chose a specific location in Tulum, a breathtaking private beachfront property in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere region as a powerful vortex for healing. This bohemian paradise will allow you to take in all the medicine that nature has to offer, while having the space to reflect and relax.

the medicines

We will connect to the ancient wisdom of these sacred lands for an unforgettable experience that includes 3 sacred medicines from Mexico:

  • 4 day purification fasting in honor of the 4 elements

  • Temazcal sweat lodge ceremony

  • Cocoa ceremony held in the Mayan tradition

We will share in the sacred songs of the Temazcal, as its medicine penetrates the trauma stored in our bodies and burns them in the fire. We will surrender as we breathe in the vapors of the Bufo Alvarius toad medicine, and as we dissolve into infinite oneness, we will remember our connection to the web of life.

Your body will be nourished with high-vibe, ethically-sourced juices and cuisine (when you break the fast). Our menu is gluten free, and dietary accommodations can be made.

Retreat Program

We will set the stage for this journey with a heart-opening Mayan cocoa ceremony. The next three days are dedicated to purification, using the Temazcal sweat lodge, healing bodywork including Mayan stomach massage. We will enter into a 4 day fasting with a ceremony, each day honoring the 4 sacred elements and discourses on elemental wisdom.

We will integrate with daily embodiment practices, delicious plant-based detoxifying foods, massage treatments, and visits to the Mayan ruins and a local cenote. All attendees will receive pre- and post-integration sessions over the phone or Skype to help integrate the experience.

Connection with nature is essential to integration, and we will take full advantage of the beautiful surroundings. We will swim in the spectacular cenotes and connect with the sacred wisdom of the Mayan ruins. The location of the retreat is on a private beachfront property in the 780,000 acre Sian Ka’an nature preserve, which is a UNESCO Wold Heritage Site.
