Retreats built around you
Every retreat we run is private and shaped around the person or couple in front of us. Choose the theme that fits where you are, and we will build the days together.
BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL
Getting started
The work starts before you arrive. We talk about what you are coming for, and what you are not. We screen, because safety is not negotiable, and we tell you plainly what the days will hold.
Clarifying your intention
You decide the timing and the length, and we stay flexible about both. The price is on each retreat page, the same for everybody. If it is out of reach, you tell us and we find a way.
Connection and alignment
Then we talk, on a confidential discovery call. You ask what you need to ask. We explain how we work and how we screen, and by the end we both know whether this is right.
Committing to your work
Once we agree the retreat fits, a deposit holds your dates. It is a booking step, and it is also a promise you make to yourself, which matters more once the days get difficult.
The retreat immersion
The days move in one direction, and none of it is accidental. You arrive prepared, you are held through the work itself, and you leave knowing what to do with what you found.
Psychedelic ceremonies
We approach these sessions with care, and with respect for how personal they are. You are in a safe, comfortable room, someone stays with you the whole time, and what surfaces is yours to work with at your own pace.
Tantra practices
Classical Tantra works through the body, and it is one of the most direct ways we know to put you back in contact with yourself. Sessions may include breathwork, slow movement, partner exercises and conscious touch, always inside the boundaries you set and always at your pace.
Meditation
Guided sits, some long and some only ten minutes. They teach you how to watch what is happening in you without immediately trying to fix it.
Sound healing
Gongs, bowls and other instruments played over you while you lie down. The body settles first and the mind follows, which makes this a useful companion to the harder days.
Yoga
Certified teachers, and no performance. Slow, intentional movement, attention on the breath, and everything adapted to the body you brought with you, whatever shape it is in.
Wellness practices
Depending on what you need, we can bring in other practices, led by people we trust: temazcal, the traditional Mayan sweat lodge, Chinese tea ceremony, massage, hypnotherapy or EMDR.
Integrative support
Time set aside to talk, one to one or with the people you came with. You say what happened, we listen, and together we work out what to do with it.
Nourishing healthy cuisine
A private chef cooks for you while you are here, using fresh ingredients from the market, and there is always more than you will manage to eat. Meals are long, and nobody is in a hurry.
Breathtaking location
The retreats happen at our own place in the jungle just outside Tulum, on land we look after and keep entirely for you. Nobody else is here while you are. The house is modern and self-sufficient, the jungle starts at the edge of the path, and both are part of the work rather than a backdrop to it.
Post-retreat integration
What you find here only counts if it survives contact with your ordinary life. That is why integration is not an afterthought for us, and why we stay in touch long after the retreat ends.
Embodying insights
While you are here we build in time to catch what is moving: journaling if you write, silence if you do not, and Tantric or meditative practices that bring the insight into the body while it is still fresh.
Post-retreat Integration
Afterwards you get integration sessions with us, at whatever pace you need. Some people arrive with questions, some with a plan, and some simply because the week after a retreat is the strangest week of the year.
Optional on-going support
If you want to keep going, we offer follow-up calls, group circles, and introductions to practitioners we trust. None of it is obligatory.
