SOUL SHINE
RETREAT
Ignite the radiance of your soul.
February 18-23, 2024
Welcome
We go on retreat to seek balance, to nourish ourselves and refill an empty cup. This retreat will do that for you in all the best ways– yoga, meditation, delicious food, oceanside relaxation, ceremony, ritual, and much more. Soul Shine offers you a unique opportunity to emerge from the quiet darkness of the Winter season and reignite the light within you. Sun-drenched and soul-inspired days will stoke your inner flame and spark your most vibrant vitality.
There is powerful magic that comes from sitting in a circle of women at the ocean’s edge. As each participant cultivates and contributes their brightest energy, together we create a collective "fire". It transmutes that which dims our spirits into energy that sparks our greatest brilliance. Through meaningful activities and embodied experiences, we will leave the retreat with radiant spirits and the tools and awarenesses to continue to shine bright long after returning home.
Each day we will gather for morning meditation and invigorating (suitable for all levels) yoga. Following breakfast, we will feed our souls and spirits with activities designed to nourish your spirit and explore the flow of life. Afternoons will include downtime to nourish yourself with whatever appeals to you with many options for beach activities, lounging at the resort, or exploring the beautiful village that is Sayulita. In the evening, we will gather for ceremony and meditation before heading to dinner and winding down with the setting of the sun.
the Place
This retreat will take us to the colorful beach town of Sayulita, Mexico. Located about an hours drive north of Puerto Vallarta, this quaint surfer town is known as "the city of good vibes". The cobblestone streets are filled with chic restaurants, hip cafes, art galleries, and a variety of shops.
Minutes away from the colorful beach town of Sayulita is a winding road that leads to playa Escondida, the hidden beach. It’s here, nestled between coconut palms and a quartz adorned boulder on the shore, that you’ll find La Joya.
La Joya is a small beachside resort that is a family-run boutique hotel and retreat space. La Joya offers elegant accommodation, wellness focused amenities and the opportunity to reconnect: to self, to nature, and to whatever’s most important to you.
Join us in this secluded seaside retreat space for a magical stay in an ocean view room.
the Food
All meals will be included in the retreat. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served to the group buffet style with a view of the ocean.
The meals will be local and organic whenever possible, with accommodations for dietary preferences and needs.
If deciding to venture out for a meal, you will have a wide range of dining options to explore. Sayulita is known for its cuisine and offers street vendors, taco bars, bakeries, beachside restaurants, casual cafés, lively patios, and fine dining establishments.
