About this inner-work retreat
What you will experience
This isn’t a fix-you-up retreat. This is more of a dig in deep and re-discover your inner being. You are a naturally intuitive, resilient, wild and whole even if you may not feel like this right now. We know that the thought of living in a body and in a life where we feel really alive, whole, aligned and wild doesn’t seem possible, but it is! The wild world has always worked with the pattern of cycles. Part of remembering that we are nature, is returning to our inner cycles, and reflecting the outer cycles we experience through the natural world. We have moved away from our cyclic nature as a culture. Most of us often feel out of alignment in our bodies, minds and souls. We are tired, fragmented, disconnected, “fine”, like we are going through the motions and barely keeping up. It’s time to stop the glorification of busy, the expectation of exhaustion, and the competition for constant hustle. These are symptoms of toxic values and the failure to respect the inherent cycles we live within. Let this be the time for you. A lot can change when we are committed to slowing down, showing up, going within and embracing transformation. We come back home to self.



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 inner work
Cyclical Living
There’s a reason that flowers don’t bloom all year round. A reason that vegetables don’t produce all year round. That the seasons change, the moon moves through phases, the tides follow her pull, and the animals respond to these cyclic changes. Our bodies experience the same movements and changes as all other living beings because we are nature too. We’ve been living in perpetual summer, wanting constant growth, constant expansion, constant blooming. We forgot about all the other seasons, and the essential role they play in the whole process. This work is for anyone who wants to feel more aligned, centered, whole and wild from the inside out and are willing to show up to that transformation even with the break downs and discomforts. Our days together will be filled with living, learning, breathing, working, growing, getting uncomfortable and inspired, aligning with and rebirthing your own self.
