I am thrilled to be partnering with the wonderful Yoga & Breathwork goddess Grace Baen to offer a growth embodiment retreat in the truly spectacular area of Careyes, Mexico. People who are drawn to this retreat are wanting a deeper, transformational experience. We will guide you through the process by facilitating the inner journey of discovery including self-inquiry and journaling and then integrating awarenesses and emotions through yoga and breathwork. Personally, Grace’s classes have made a profound impact on my own ability to process through and let go of heavy material this year. I feel with her work, some facilitation from me, and the intensely beautiful energy of where we will be staying, you will experience a positive shift on all levels, leaving you feeling more steady and clear to move forward. To attain greater levels of empowerment, we need to achieve integration in the mind, spirit, and body. These growth embodiment techniques do just that.
THE AREA
Costa Careyes is unknown to many, as it is a private community only accessible to people who own or rent private villas. Our villa sits perched between our 2 private beaches and overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Costa Careyes, Mexico, is a breathtakingly exclusive destination known for its pristine natural beauty and secluded charm. Nestled along the Pacific coastline, this luxurious enclave boasts rugged cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and untouched beaches framed by lush tropical forests. Its intimate atmosphere and limited access ensure privacy and tranquility, making it an ideal sanctuary for wellness retreats. The harmonious blend of stunning landscapes and serene ambiance creates a perfect setting for deep relaxation, reflection, and rejuvenation, offering a unique environment for personal growth and holistic well-being.
ACTIVITIES
The area is known for it’s positive spiritual energy and has drawn in many healers. We will be taking advantage of this atmosphere by participating in a healing soundbath in the spectacular Copa Del Sol, (see video on the right) a mud bath on our private beach, massages at our private villa, a short hike to the Center of the Universe, releasing baby sea turtles at sunset, a boat ride down the coasst for swimming and snorkeling in the warm waters, and eating delicious meals and margeritas with our feet in the sand. Plus you’ll have time to relax at our private beach or pool enjoying some good conversation or resting in silence. And of course daily yin yoga & breathwork every morning will set your day off to an uplifting start.
CUISINE
During the week, you will experience the vibrant flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine throughout the retreat, starting each day with made-to-order breakfasts crafted from fresh, local ingredients to energize your day. Enjoy a stunning rooftop dinner under the stars, savoring traditional dishes that showcase the rich culinary heritage of the region. A private picnic on the beach offers an intimate setting to indulge in fresh, seasonal delights while surrounded by breathtaking coastal views. Evenings include dinners at carefully selected local restaurants along the beach, where you can delight in a variety of dishes inspired by the sea and the local culture, making every meal a memorable part of your wellness journey.
*Diet restrictions can be accommodated but limited to the offerings of the restaurants.
ACCOMODATIONS
Our private villa in Careyes, Mexico, serves as the exquisite setting for our four-night wellness retreat, embodying luxury and tranquility at every turn. Guests wake each morning to made-to-order breakfasts designed to nourish the body and delight the senses, enjoyed within the serene ambience of the villa overlooking the ocean. The villa sits between two pristine private beaches offering an exclusive sanctuary for relaxation and reflection. There are 2 pools with stunning views of the ocean where we will enjoy refreshments and socializing in a gorgeous setting. Additionally, a curated private picnic on the beach is a highlight where we will first start with a mud bath ritual, bake, and rinse in the ocean before sitting down to a fresh lunch with margeritas and wine. There is also a beautiful store where you can buy stylish and unique Mexican clothes, jewelery and home goods.

ABOUT YOUR RETREAT LEADERS
GRACE BAEN
With a dance career that transformed into becoming a movement coach practitioner, Grace has always marveled at the power, resilience and wisdom of the human body. With over a decade of experience in working with clients to find realignment, eliminate imbalances, and pursue overall physical longevity, a mentor suggested she dive into breathwork to aid in her somatic practices. It swept Grace off her feet, this breathwork is something so simple yet so profound, it was the most natural and aligned next step to become a breathwork facilitator. With the philosophy that one can have a better connection with the physical self, the emotional self, your own community and more, by simply reconnecting with the breath- what awaits are the possibilities for expansion, growth, and healing, guiding you back home to who you really are. Facilitating and guiding clients in the education of the breath and providing safe and supportive spaces for one to explore and process emotions, undo limiting beliefs. These are just a few things in which the offering of this sacred space Grace provides.
