The Intention
The intention of this retreat is simple: To reconnect with yourself in a clear, grounded way.
Throughout our time together, we will move through yoga, meditation, ceremony, nature, reflection, and community to support the process of coming back home to the body, the breath, and the wisdom within.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you come. Just come as you are, be open to slowing down, tuning in, letting go, and allowing yourself to receive.

We are finalizing our retreat home at Holistika Tulum, a wellness retreat center surrounded by the natural beauty of the jungle.
Holistika Tulum offers a peaceful environment with yoga spaces, pools, vegetarian and vegan meals, and areas for rest, reflection, and connection. The retreat space gives us room to practice, gather, restore, and experience Tulum in a way that feels intentional and grounded.

Daily Yoga
Yoga will be part of our daily retreat flow.
Classes will be created to support the energy of the day and the overall intention of returning to yourself. Some practices may be grounding and restorative, while others may include gentle flow, breathwork, or deeper reflection.
This retreat is open to a range of experience levels. You do not need to be advanced in yoga to attend. You only need to be willing to listen to your body and participate in a way that honors where you are.
Meditation and Reflection Circles
On full retreat days, we will gather for meditation and reflection circles. These circles give us space to slow down, listen inward, share when desired, and integrate the retreat experience. You are not expected to perform, force vulnerability, or have the perfect words. This is a space for honesty, stillness, and connection.
The first evening will focus on arrival and intention setting. The final day will be centered around breakfast, closing, and departure.
Ceremony and Group Experiences
Our retreat experience will include Cacao Ceremony, Temazcal, Fire Pit gathering, and a cenote excursion.
The Cacao Ceremony offers a heart-centered space for reflection, intention, and connection.
The Temazcal is a traditional sweat lodge experience rooted in cleansing and renewal. This ceremony can be physically and emotionally powerful, and participation is always your choice. More details will be shared before the retreat so each participant can make an informed decision based on comfort, health, and personal needs.
The Fire Pit gathering will offer space for reflection, release, and connection as we prepare to close our time together.
The cenote excursion will allow us to experience the beauty of the water and land in Tulum. Cenotes are natural freshwater pools found throughout the Yucatán Peninsula and are known for their beauty, quiet, and connection to the land. Final excursion details will be confirmed before the retreat.
Meals
Breakfast and dinner are included. The retreat center offers vegan and vegetarian meals. Lunch is included on the group excursion day. Lunches on non-excursion days are not included so participants can enjoy personal time, explore the area, or choose what feels best for the day.
If you have food allergies or dietary needs beyond vegetarian or vegan meals, please let us know before registering so we can discuss what may be possible.
