Spring Retreat in Mexico —Return to Presence:

Chacala, Mexico

Sign up here

Yoga + Mindfulness Meditation + relaxation on the beach

Maria and Richard are delighted to collaborate once again, offering a 7-day retreat rooted in mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, and renewal. Together, we will explore practices that help us slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the steadiness, joy, and ease already within us.

We are so happy to be returning to Mar de Jade Retreat & Wellness Resort, a place that has held this retreat so beautifully. Nestled between the tropical jungle and the sandy beach of Chacala, Mexico, Mar de Jade offers a tranquil setting for presence, connection, and deep nourishment. 

Each day will include yoga, mindfulness meditation, and breathwork, with practices ranging from active vinyasa and hatha to gentle, restorative, and deeply restful sessions.

There will also be spacious time to enjoy the beauty of Mar de Jade and the surrounding area. Optional add-on experiences may include snorkeling, jungle hiking, a tour of Mar de Jade’s organic farm, and the traditional Aztec Sweat Lodge ceremony — with plenty of open time to swim, play in the ocean, visit the spa, rest, read, and simply be.


Our intention is to step away from the busyness of daily life and into this peaceful haven by the sea — a place where we can move, breathe, rest, listen, and return to presence.
