Women’s Wellness Retreat
The Joy of Connection
Puerto Escondido | Nov. 16-21, 2026
Come exactly as you are — and leave with renewed energy, restored clarity, and a deeper connection to who you’re becoming.
Step into a softer, slower rhythm on the sun-drenched coast of Puerto Escondido — a place where the ocean settles your nervous system, the warm breeze softens your edges, and time begins to expand again. Here, the days unfold with joy and intention: morning movement by the pool, nourishing meals, ocean walks, spa rituals, and soul-centred workshops that gently guide you back into your body, your breath, and your inner knowing.
Held by the natural beauty of the Pacific and supported by a small, like-hearted community, you’ll move through a week designed to restore your mind, body, heart, and spirit. This is a retreat where rest becomes medicine, presence becomes practice, and joy returns in its most honest form.

Temazcal Ceremony
A traditional Mexican sweat lodge ceremony led by an experienced temazcalero. The temazcal is an ancient healing ritual that uses heat, herbal steam, breath, and intention to support physical, emotional, and energetic cleansing. Inside the clay or stone dome, warmed by volcanic rocks, you’re guided through cycles of steam, chanting, and reflection that symbolize rebirth and renewal.
It’s a deeply grounding experience that helps release tension, detoxify the body, calm the mind, and reconnect you with your own inner strength and clarity.Cacao Ceremony
A heart-opening ritual that has been part of Indigenous traditions in Mexico for thousands of years. You’ll sip ceremonial-grade cacao prepared with intention, allowing its energetic properties to gently soften, uplift, and expand your emotional field. Accompanied by meditation, guided reflection, or sound healing, the ceremony creates space for connection — with yourself, with the group, and with the wisdom that arises when your heart feels open and supported.
It’s a beautiful, gentle practice that encourages presence, joy, and emotional release. -
