Move through the year with intention.


Prioritize your own well-being so that you are even more empowered to heal the world that touches you. Each retreat will be unique, allowing the rhythm of the year to inform our contemplations and practices. Each retreat will include a light lunch and take-home tools for continued engagement. The investment for each retreat will be $50. If cost is a barrier, please be in touch for options. Save the dates!


Self Guided Retreats

The Well of Being - A Self-Guided Retreat for Individuals and Small Groups

Gather your people

Corporate, Family, Friend Retreats in Oaxaca, Mexico

Gather the people with whom you want to experience a time of transformational, immersive experience in Oaxaca, book your flights, and leave the rest to me. 


Co-curate a time with incredible people, enjoying amazing food and experiences in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Whether you are interested in hands-on making, a gastronomic tour de force, or a time for resting and relaxing, I will help you map out a perfect stay.


Rates range from $1400-2000 per person for a group of 10 - 15 depending on the excursions and experiences you choose. This cost includes accommodations, breakfast each day, some lunches and dinners, all booked experiences, and ground travel. You'll be responsible for your flights, cost of lunch and dinner during times you're on your own, and any incidentals, like souvenirs and any extras you choose along the way.


I will also offer coaching and provocations that make this more than a tour. You will be amongst the people, connect to the place, invited into a deeper experience of yourself and those with whom you've gathered.


Be in touch through the contact form, and let's create a wonderful time away!


Groups must be a minimum of 10 people with initial inquiry at least 6 months ahead of planned travel. 


Cancellation policy and deposit will be discussed during our first conversation.

International Retreats - More than Immersive Experiences

The Retreat Manifesto*

 Together, at these retreats, we will:

  • explore out of the way, rustic experiences.
  • focus on people & their places.
  • grow relationships.
  • share generative experiences.
  • aim at depth of experience over breadth.
  • move more slowly than regular life.
  • will engage all of our senses.
  • commit to being co-creative.
  • rhythmically alternate between experience and reflection.
  • have programmed time and space for processing and reflecting, both solo and in dialogue.
  • use skill learning and practice as ground for personal transformation.

*This is the second prototype of this manifesto. You will see the evolution in my blog.
