Description
Todos Santos, Baja Mexico has the perfect desert weather and pace for a unique retreat experience.
We will start our gorgeous mornings with mindful yoga & meditation practices. The air here in Baja is remarkably clean as there are no major cities nearby.
In the early afternoons, we will enjoy our private pool. We will go on a sweet, quiet hike in the open desert and learn about the vegetation and wildlife here.
One of the highlights of our retreat will be participating in a Temazcal-traditional Mexican sweat lodge for cleansing & purifying. You will be healed with fresh herbs such as aloe vera, chamomile, sage, mint & rosemary.
We will visit the colorful & artistic downtown for shopping.
We will sit in sacred, healing and grounding Fire & Cacao Ceremonies which will open up our senses to the beauty of our Earth.
In the evenings, we will enjoy Shamanic Drumming and Journeying, scented with the smoke of white sage.
We will engage in Sacred Feminine Ceremonies where you will receive blessings & womb healing Rites.
We will have the time, space & perfect beach & desert location for going within with Shamanic Soul Retrieval, a potent healing modality.

Reviews
Thank you...
"The week was magical.
Opening the door of my oneself, remembering to be kind (regardless of all the shit that makes me frustrated about the world), recognized my true power (that we all have)…so much still to learn, see, love, enjoy…my heart is open (again).
Grateful I left my cocoon to meet new people, learn new skills, I had to go throw a big pain, getting out of there with the help of amazing friends (you know who you are).”
-V. Vanessinha
“Before coming to the retreat I was in and out of therapy and I never really felt like it helped me.
I kept going back to my old behaviors, that were just not serving the person that I should be and I can be, and since the retreat, I feel it was far more beneficial than any kind of therapy that I had.”
