Welcome yourself back home to your Self for a week of wonder, space, connection, and integration. Whether you need to relax and unwind or crave easeful adventure and want to explore, this retreat is your chance to do just that. Join me in Baja. Fall asleep to the sound of the ocean— awaken to your dreams and self coming alive.

Our schedule is spacious, with time to relax and unwind and/or explore the beach and adventure in beautiful Baja. We'll welcome a week of nature based replenishment, yoga practices and teachings sourced in this living wisdom tradition, all in the company of the sun, stars and sea. There will be plenty of time to roam the desert gardens and labyrinth on site, stroll along the beach, sit on your ocean front terrace or salt water pool side, and simply be. This all-inclusive 6 night/7 day retreat is set in Baja, Mexico, this retreat is held in the Sonoran desert along the Pacific coastline. Walk on the beach, observe Humpback whales that come to calve and nurture their young during the winter months in the bay, and breathe deep as we bask in beauty, enliven our senses, and welcome what arises as we journey with the gifts of practice.

Taking place at Prana del Mar, this eco-luxe beach side retreat is an ideal hosting center which is clear through the attention to detail - the gorgeous and minimalistic aesthetic, the practice & gathering spaces themselves are breathtaking and support depth, the food is fresh and authentic to the region, and the entire facility is solar powered and committed to care of the earth. 

Our daily sessions will be a mix of embodied and adaptable practices such as slow flow breath based yoga, meditation, yoga nidra, self-inquiry/reflection, group discussions, time in nature, optional adventures/excursions in the surrounding areas and plenty of free time to relax, walk the beach, read by the salt water pool, and just be! You'll have the opportunity to create space and remember who you are underneath all the roles and obligations we tend to in daily life.

The cancellation policy is meant to be fair and generous given the shorter timeline of the announcement of this retreat to its unveiling on Dec 7th. If you cancel, you will receive all of your tuition minus the $250 deposit back up to Nov 23rd (after Nov 23rd 1/2 of tuition is returned minus the deposit). If I cancel for any reason, you get all of your investment back, including your deposit. Take the leap with me this December! You won’t regret that you did.
