About this mindfulness retreat
What you will experience
This retreat will be your time to stop your mental busyness so you can actually experience the here and now. The time we take to be mindful and connected to nature gives us the space and awareness to fully experience the life that is always happening through us, all the life we habitually overlook. By the end of our 109 Regenerative retreat with Playa Viva, we promise you’ll settle into the pace of pure mindfulness, cyclical living and nature. A pace where the best moments are spent getting our hands dirty working at the farm, reconnecting with Earth, watching the pelicans fly in formation over the sea, filling our lungs with fresh ocean air, getting dusty exploring the local ecosystem and being inspired by a remarkable community.
About the location
Playa Viva
Combining simple elegance with natural beauty and a commitment to improving the environment and the local community, Playa Viva is a sustainable boutique hotel located on the western coast of Mexico, just 35 minutes south of Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa International Airport. Nestled between the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean and the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains near the village of Juluchuca, Playa Viva is situated on a mile of pristine and private beach.
The property’s nearly 200 acres includes an estuary, an Aztec archeological site, a turtle sanctuary, and a coastal forest and mangrove ecosystem which supports an array of stunning wildlife. Playa Viva is close enough to the trappings of modernity yet worlds away providing immersion into the wonders of nature, and escape to utter private relaxation.
About the volunteer work
Playa Viva Permaculture Farm
The last three years we have been a patron for La Tortuga Viva and together with their incredible team we have built one of the largest turtle sanctuaries in Mexico, in addition to a community space for educational sessions. This year we are honored to support the community with their permaculture farm. Expect to get your hands dirty with permaculture workshops, hikes, jungle time, and work involving clay and bamboo!
