There are moments in life when something within calls to be explored.
This retreat is an invitation to listen to that deeper voice within, guided by the life force-generating power of Kundalini Yoga and the archetypal wisdom of myth.
Over five days and four nights, we'll gather for an all-inclusive retreat that weaves together sacred movement, Kundalini Yoga, mantra-based meditations, guided reflection inspired by mythic wisdom, and immersive cultural experiences with local healers and landmarks,
San Miguel de Allende provides the perfect container. A UNESCO World Heritage city believed to sit atop a giant bed of rose quartz — the stone of the heart — it has long attracted artists, seekers, and creatives drawn to its beauty, history, and unmistakable sense of possibility.
This is a journey to reconnect with what matters most and begin the year feeling grounded, alive, and deeply connected to the life that's calling you forward.

Nestled at the foot of Los Picachos Mountain, just twenty minutes from the heart of San Miguel de Allende, this journey takes place at the region's newest luxury retreat center. Blending contemporary design with the quiet beauty of the surrounding landscape, it offers an extraordinary sanctuary where nature, elegance, and stillness create the ideal setting for deep restoration, inner stillness, meaningful connection, and lasting transformation.

Renowned mythologist and philosopher Joseph Campbell taught that the world's great myths all begin with a call to adventure — a sacred invitation to leave the familiar and step into a journey of personal transformation.
While many of the stories that have shaped our culture describe outward adventures, Campbell reminds us that the most meaningful journeys happen within.
Over five days, this retreat follows the arc of the Hero’s Journey as a map for personal inquiry, creating space to listen inward, step beyond the familiar, and answer that which is calling you forward.
