Wild & Free Retreat ~ April 1-6, 2025

An adventurous retreat to a jungle eco-lodge on the Mexican Pacific coastline is sure to bring you to your happy place. You deserve the opportunity to unplug, rejuvenate and explore this natural paradise all while being supported with the practices of yoga, daily adventures and delicious Mexican cuisine. This hidden sanctuary is a collection of palapas, bungalows and casitas all perched on the hillside to minimize environmental impact and nestled amidst the palms with magnificent views of the jungle and the ocean. With sustainability as the essence of this lodge, the elegant and rustic accommodations aim to connect you to the tranquility of nature. Located just an hour north of Puerto Vallarta in the town of San Pancho, Nayarit and a world away from the busyness of life. Yoga is offered daily at the outdoor yoga palapa allowing for a natural soundtrack, jungle life to nourish the lungs and the ocean to connect to the flow of prana within. Freedom to design your day to relax in a hammock, receive a massage or express your wild and hike, sail, kayak, SUP and surf. A stroll down the path to a stunning beach will provide ample opportunities to feel Wild & Free. A local chef will provide traditional cuisine with fresh, local ingredients which will be enjoyed at our gorgeous al fresco dining table for daily brunch and dinner. To embrace the local culture we will explore the local town, markets and restaurants as well. With all this abundance we will be sure to share the love and give back to the local community with a few hours of volunteering. The intention of this retreat will be to provide a balance of adventure, relaxation and self-discovery to foster a sense of liberation in your body, mind & spirit!
