Sacred Women's Wellness Retreat: Yoga, Ayurveda & Maya Wisdom in Tulum

What sets this retreat apart is that you—the participant—are the true protagonist of this transformative journey. Every practice, ceremony, and experience has been lovingly designed to help you reconnect with your essence and express the unique talent or soul gift you came to share in this material world.

Your days unfold with beautiful intention, beginning with nourishing morning yoga practices led by Sarah Platt-Finger, co-founder of ISHTA Yoga and an internationally recognized teacher with over two decades of experience. Her refined approach makes the profound teachings of yoga accessible and deeply transformative, guiding you to awaken your body, calm your mind, and deepen your connection to self.

Throughout the retreat, you'll be enveloped in the pure, resonant magic of Nicolas Neduchal's handpan sound healing, experience the integrative wisdom of Dr. Judy Tsafrir (author of Sacred Psychiatry), and receive the ancestral medicine music of Eric Colibrí. Daily meditation classes, specialized workshops, and moments of shared reflection create space for renewal and grounding.

A highlight of the experience is the guided excursion to Ek Balam, one of the Maya world's most powerful ancient sites, led by revered Maya priest and master teacher Miguel Ángel Vergara. Having trained for 17 years under the elder Don Vicente Martin, he carries the living wisdom of the ancient ones and will reveal the spiritual significance of this sacred civilization.

The journey is bookended by meaningful ceremonies—a Welcome Ceremony to set intentions and ground into the space, and a Closing Ceremony for reflection and integration. Between jungle, sea, and cenotes, surrounded by tropical birds and swaying palms, you'll find the perfect conditions for melting away stress, unplugging from the world, and awakening your senses.

This intimate gathering of 18-20 women creates a supportive community where solo travelers are not only welcome but celebrated. Whether you're new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, all practices are accessible and meet you exactly where you are.
