About your trip

Join Mel Cunningham and Kristin Butler for a deeply restorative, transformative journey, connecting to the natural world and tapping into your true self in the sacred jungle of Mexico. 


 EVOLVE:
“To change or develop slowly often into a better, more complex or more advanced state”


In our daily lives, we take on roles and responsibilities thrust on us by the outside world  and society.  In stillness, we awaken the voice of our true self.  When we retreat from daily distractions and reconnect with the natural world, the mind, body, and spirit begin to recalibrate — rising into alignment, truth, and possibility.


This retreat is an invitation to turn inward and open up to inspiration, elevate your energy and evolve into your next expression of wellbeing. Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, and sacred spiritual practices, we create space to unwind from your adult "responsibilities" and conditioning,  release what no longer serves, and step into a life that is more intentional, conscious, and free- stepping into your true power.

What to Expect:


· Evolve: Begin each day with yoga & meditation to awaken and elevate your mind, body, and spirit. Morning practices will guide you inward through movement, breath and presence - aligning with your truest self. 


· Reconnect: Not only with yourself, but with the natural world around you. Immerse in the vibrant energy of the jungle, the rhythm of the ocean, and grounding beauty of the earth - reminding you of your innate connection to something greater.


· Elevate: Powerful transformational experiences to awaken your energy and deepen your healing. Ceremonies include: Shamanic blessing, yoga nidra, breathwork, cacao, and energy healing. 


· Expand: Through Workshops and Experiences, you'll explore practices that restore your connection to your true self, expand your awareness, and support your continued evolution beyond the retreat. deepen your practice and support your evolution.


Haramara is a private retreat center in the jungle outside of Sayulita, Mexico.  Cabanas nestled in the hillside are open air, and free of electricity, internet or outside visitors. All cabanas have private baths with hot water and luxurious open air showers.  Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves on the shore and the jungle wildlife.    


Over the course of this week-long well-being retreat, you will have ample free time to luxuriate in the beautiful retreat grounds, the amazing saltwater infinity pool and hot tub.  Enjoy the healing ocean waters and private beaches. Rest, restore, and deeply connect with new and old friends. Savor delicious gourmet meals, explore the local area, heal, learn, and celebrate YOU! 


This unplugged retreat is an opportunity to slow down and connect with yourself and the natural beauty of Mexico. This is time for YOU - a time of self-discovery and integration of emotional, physical, mental and soul well-being through yoga, movement, meditation, connection and nature. 


This unplugged retreat is a homecoming to yourself — a time to breathe, move, listen, and evolve. 


Like a snake shedding its skin, a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, we each have the opportunity to evolve and emerge renewed and refreshed. 


Please accept Mel and Kristin's invitation to join us on the journey this year.

 
Elevate your vibration. Evolve your being. Reconnect with the sacred rhythm of life.
