Roots & Renewal: A Retreat of Rest, Ritual & Remerging
Merida/Chicxulub, Mexico

Slowly emerge out of the winter months and into spring, on this sacred journey to the Yucatán. The healing waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the vibrant soul of Mérida hold space for deep rest, remembrance, and renewal. Guided by the changing season and the wisdom of the land, we’ll soften winter’s grip and gently awaken into the light of spring - open, grounded, and alive.

At the heart of this retreat is the reverence for Mayan tradition, ancient, rooted, and profoundly alive in the landscapes and people of this region. From a heart-opening cacao ceremony led by a local Mayan medicine woman to a floating sound journey in a sacred cenote, we’ll engage with rituals passed down through generations, designed to restore balance between self, spirit, and nature. You’ll stay in a tranquil beachfront home just steps from the sea, with space to rest, reflect, and realign. In the quiet moments, you’ll remember what it means to listen deeply, to the land, to the ancestors, and to the voice from within that knows exactly when and how to bloom.

Where we’ll be staying…

We will be retreating to a beautiful, tranquil beachfront home. The house is steps from the warm sand and calm clear water of the Gulf of Mexico and located in a scenic part of the Yucatán Peninsula, between the vibrant port town of Progreso and the laid-back beach village of Chicxulub. This quiet area, about 35 minutes from Merida, is known for its easy access to beaches, cenotes, and small fishing communities, making it a perfect gateway to both cultural exploration and natural beauty.
