Welcome, bright soul. We created this retreat just for YOU.
The ups and downs of human existence, particularly today, probably have you questioning everything. Asking why... asking how. Searching for meaning. Maybe even feeling hopeless about the state of the world some days. It's a hard thing to be human in 2023.
We lovingly invite you to unplug in the desert with us for 7 nights of deeply profound revitalization this June. Every minute of every day has been thoughtfully curated to unwind your tired nervous system, INSPIRE MAJOR MINDSET SHIFTS and reinvigorate your daily life with reverence and bliss as you navigate the world we live in today.
Our week has been intentionally planned for you to learn, grow and play. You are invited to attend every class and event on the schedule, or pick and choose a few while opting for more beach time in between. It's entirely up to you. We encourage you to make this retreat your own, and honor your self-care needs during this TRANSFORMATIVE WEEK IN PARADISE.
You'll be fully immersed in classical-style asana, pranayama, meditation and traditional ceremonies, all held within a beautiful BEACHFRONT YOGA STUDIO overlooking the ocean. We'll hike the mountainous landscape, recharge our prana in the sunlight and play in the healing ocean waves. You’ll eat abundant, delicious, vegetarian meals to nourish your body and spirit, and you’ll sleep and wake to the rhythmic sounds of the sea.
Our retreat center in Baja, Mexico is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. With MILES OF PRIVATE BEACHFRONT just for our retreat group to enjoy and explore, you'll truly feel one with nature. You won't see another soul (except for those in our group) for a whole week. This land isn't covered with resorts -- it's a secluded paradise just for us.
You are in exactly the right place at exactly the right time, and we could not be happier to have you with us on this adventure as we unveil our True Selves and find LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS.
We are so excited to see you in Mexico!
Love,
Ally & Lila

Located one hour north of Cabo San Lucas along the Pacific Coast of Mexico, our private beachfront retreat center sits on pristine desert land surrounded by mountains to the east and ocean to the west. With miles of private beach access just for our retreat group to enjoy and explore, you'll truly feel one with nature. You won't see another soul (except for those in our group) for a whole week. This land isn't covered with resorts -- it's a secluded paradise just for us.

BAJA, MEXICO
Don't worry. We're not taking you to a scorching desert in the middle of June! This part of Mexico is a temperate desert with extremely mild, pleasant temperatures due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Mid-June, we can expect average temperatures in the 80s during the day with plenty of sunshine, and dropping into the low 60s at night. Daytime conditions could not be more perfect for swimming and sun bathing, while the dry air keeps the shade cool for those needing a break from the heat. Chilly evening temperatures create ideal sleeping conditions. You won't even miss your air conditioning! (And you may even feel better without it!)
