10-Day Private Emotional Healing Retreat on Baja's East Cape

The retreat runs for ten days and is entirely private — you are the only guest, and the programme is written around what you bring with you. The first day is mostly settling in and a long intake conversation with your guide, where you talk through what you want to work on and what you don't. From there, mornings tend to start around 7am with an hour of yoga on the deck or the sand, followed by breakfast, and the middle of the day is given to whatever the focus of that day is: sometimes a mindfulness sit, sometimes an inner child session, sometimes a longer somatic or breathwork piece.

Afternoons are freer. Some guests use them for the optional therapy sessions — IFS, EMDR or somatic work with practitioners who join you on site. Others take a surf lesson, go snorkelling, hike the headland, or just read. Cooking classes and art sessions run on the days you want them, and sound and crystal healing sessions are usually slotted in the late afternoon or early evening, before dinner. Evenings are quiet, with dinner served around 7pm, and most people are asleep well before ten.

What separates this from other healing retreats is the range of practitioners involved and the fact that nothing is decided in advance. Movement teachers, somatic and energy healers, sound therapists, psychologists and nutritionists are all part of the team, and your guide pulls in whoever fits what you're actually dealing with. The food is adjusted to whatever you can and can't eat, the schedule is adjusted to how you're sleeping and how much you can take on any given day, and there's no group to keep pace with.

The setting does a lot of the work too. East Cape Beach is a long, quiet stretch of sand and desert between La Paz and Los Cabos, with warm water, empty mornings and very little light pollution at night. It is not a resort strip — there are more pelicans than people most days.

By the end of the ten days the intention is that you leave with a set of things you can actually do — breathing exercises, specific practices, a written plan — rather than just having had a nice week. Guests who want to keep going afterwards are given contacts for the practitioners they worked with.
