Soak Up The Sun In Paradise!
Escape the cold winter with Kristina Nez Begay & I and head to Tulum for 5 days of healing and restoring in sun and salt water!
Spend 5 days immersed in the tranquil charm of Tulum as we spend time releasing worries and tapping into our inner light
Tulum is a magical town located 2 hours south of Cancun, Mexico, where we will be staying at the Eco-chic resort Amansala. Amansala is Sanskrit for “peaceful waters” and this place lives up to it’s name. It is the ultimate “happy place”
We have mindfully designed this time for YOU to get away, go within, find places to restore and refresh, while indulging in relaxing beach time, fresh delicious food, and explorative outings.
This retreat is for anyone and everyone who
wants to escape the cold winter

No experience in anything is required! Just an open mind and a willingness to have a great time!
During this retreat guests will:

The Resort
Amansala is all about relaxed luxury. A tranquil setting that embodies community, with plenty of space to relax on one's terrace, the beautiful beach deck, or the sunset lounge where the jungle stretches as far as the eye can see. Perfect for stargazing, sunrises, sunsets, or soaking up some sun. The resort is located on the Atlantic ocean with direct access to the beach and warm ocean waves.
The Rooms
All rooms are equipped with private bathrooms and sitting areas. Rooms at Amansala are styled with our beautiful Eco-Chic, bohemian feel. Each room embodies the essence of Tulum using smooth cement, Mayan stone, and centuries-old wooden columns; multiple staircases weaving together and connecting the various spaces, giving the feel of a modern-day Swiss Family Robinson treehouse. A variety of rooms are available with ocean views or garden side, see below for details.
The Food
The menu is designed to nourish and cleanse, with lenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and enough protein to keep you going throughout the day. Their philosophy is ”from the earth to your plate”, using fresh, local ingredients and avoiding processed and preservative foods. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated, please make note of it at the time of registration.
Time to Restore
This trip is about YOU! You will find plenty of time to call your own, giving yourself permission to let go of the “default world” and sink into your soul. There’s plenty to do in Tulum if you get tired of the beach. You can book a spa service at Amansala or another local spa, go shopping (there are great stores to be found!), enjoy a cocktail or just stroll the strip.

What People Are Saying About Us
Real quotes from real people who have attended our retreats
“Everything was so amazing and well thought out. The support offered before/ during/and after was incredible. The knowledge everyone brings enhanced the experience tenfold. I can't say enough good things. I've recommended to so many people.”
“It was a transformational week. The co-facilitators of the retreat, Kristina and Laurel of Hozho and Ananda Healing Arts were vital to the success. I felt like they were the supportive blanket that cared for us before and after the ceremonies. Their facilitation made the difference from a good retreat to an amazing one.”
“Great accessibility and presence for people, as needed. Great pre- and post-retreat support. I tend to be pretty calm about stuff, but it seemed to me that for those who felt less so about travel, being somewhere new, etc., knew they were well-supported which helped them sit back into the experience more easily.”
“It was my first ever retreat that I have ever done and it was everything you could imagine a retreat should be but it was much more than that. All of the hosts made you feel so comfortable no matter where you were in your journey. They worked so hard and put their heart and soul into every detail to make it magical for us and it so was. I met and connected with some beautiful souls. I loved that we had a circle and pulled a card and got to know a little bit more about everyone. I cannot wait for the next one!”
