This transformative journey is waiting for you; book now to reserve your spot.
As you touch down in Mexico, you'll immediately notice a change. The warm air surrounds you, inviting you to begin a spiritual journey with the potential to forever change you. Transfer to your retreat nestled in nature, check in, and allow yourself to be welcomed into the serene embrace of the eco-retreat. The day commences with a welcome circle, providing a detailed itinerary for your immersive experience. At 5:00 PM, rediscover yourself with grounding yoga amidst the retreat's serene surroundings. As the sun sets, indulge in a veritable feast of vegan cuisine and then attend a fire ceremony where you can set intentions and look forward to the days to come.
The sun is rising, and so too shall you. Since we only got the chance to briefly engage with our root chakras yesterday, that is where we will be returning our focus to today. Our first activity in the morning will be a yoga session focused on establishing a feeling of stability, something that will be key in the coming days. Breakfast is accompanied by herbal teas and blessings, and the rest of the morning will be spent with guided meditation and time walking through nature. Attend a sound healing session in the afternoon that will utilize a variety of healing instruments to provide you with a feeling of holistic wellness before dinner and a grounding fire ceremony conclude the day.
Awaken to the second day with the sun rising over Akumal. The morning begins with sacral flow yoga, igniting creativity and passion. Nourish your body with a vegan breakfast and reiki healing, followed by a water blessing and energy healing nature adventure infused with Ho'oponopono prayer, a Hawaiian reconciliation practice focused on forgiveness, love, and healing. As afternoon comes around, dive into the depths of your creativity and connect deeply with your sacral chakra during a guided meditation and sound bath. We will then engage in the sacred tradition of temazcal, a storied Mesoamerican sweat lodge practice used for ritualistic and therapeutic healing. The day concludes with a blissful yoga session centered on the sacral chakra before dinner and a fire ceremony that includes fire dancing lessons.
Good morning! Feel the energy course through your spirit as we begin day 3 with a solar power yoga session and breakfast. Some time in nature then gives you more time to activate your solar plexus chakra. Appreciate the pristine, untouched landscapes of Akumal, enjoy some lunch, and then head to an empowering session of meditation and sound healing that will help you find clarity and power within yourself. As the afternoon begins to melt into evening, you'll have a bit of free time to yourself to relax before dinner. During our closing fire ceremony, we will continue finding strength with another fire dancing lesson. We'll also snap some photos during this lesson so that you return home with memories of this exciting activity.
Open your heart on the fourth day with breathwork and meditation, setting the stage for a feeling of love and compassion that will be carried throughout the day. Engage in journaling and gratitude as the morning continues, setting the tone for a breakfast that is accompanied by the transformational powers of a cacao ceremony. Reiki healing, yoga, and a sound bath will help you open your heart even further before we investigate mindful eating and food blessings with a cooking class that culminates in a delicious lunch. Afternoon activities include a forgiveness meditation and more breathwork while a session of yoga is added to our typical evening routine. By the time you settle in at the end of the day, you will feel an incredible level of compassion and love for both yourself and the universe that surrounds you.
Today is all about expression and truth via your throat chakra. We will begin with expressive flow yoga and breakfast which will lead into a session of healing that incorporates both reiki and sound bath techniques to allow your throat chakra to flourish. After fueling up with vegan delights for lunch, we will come together in the afternoon to an authentic expression meditation and tuning fork tune up. This day of transformation is made complete with a cosmic journey dinner and another fire ceremony.
We have reached the final full day of our retreat, and that means we are shifting our focus to our final two chakras: the third eye and the crown chakras. The third eye chakra is associated with intuition and insight, and it facilitates spiritual awareness, inner wisdom, and the ability to perceive deeper truths beyond the physical realm. The crown chakra, on the other hand, is associated with spiritual connection, higher consciousness, and the integration of wisdom and understanding beyond the material world. It is truly key to our inner journeys to learn to access both our third eyes and our crown chakras, and that is why our morning yoga exploration and healing session will both be centered on this. To give you practice engaging with your third eye, the afternoon will be spent developing a vision board based on your own intuition. Here, you'll learn to trust yourself with radical confidence. Dinner leads us into a fire ceremony that will show you how to awaken your inner vision and connect to your higher self before a final cozy sleep completes the day.
Our chakra journey reaches its conclusion today... and that means that we will be heading home this afternoon. Still, we have plenty of time to integrate our new knowledge, look to the future, and say goodbye. A divinity yoga session leads into a light and elevated raw vegan farewell feast. If you'd prefer, you can also opt for a fast during this time. As a celebration of all we have learned and the experiences we have shared, we will meet for a photoshoot where you will be captured in your fully embodied and most divine state. After lunch, a closing circle will give you a chance to find a feeling of calm with your progress while simultaneously looking towards your future. A final airport transfer completes our time together! Farewell, and good luck on your path.
