A Glimpse Into the Flow

Set on 200 acres of wild coastline, jungle, and secluded beach, Playa Viva invites you to sleep in open-air treehouses—all with sweeping ocean views—rise with the sun, and reconnect with your natural rhythm.&nbsp; Playa Viva is one of the highest-rated B-Corp certified eco-hotels in the world—featured in The New York Times, National Geographic, Travel + Leisure, and more. Much of the accommodation is shared—shared with others and, occasionally, with the local wildlife. These spaces are more than just a place to rest; they invite connection, laughter, and the sharing of stories, creating a richer collective experience at Playa Viva.

&nbsp;Cancellation Policy:To reserve your spot, a non-refundable $500 deposit is required. This secures one of Playa Viva’s limited shared ocean-view treehouses and reflects our reservation commitment with the retreat center. &nbsp;The full balance is due by November 1, 2025, with flexible payment plans available through WeTravel. &nbsp;Please note: By submitting your deposit, you are committing to the full cost of the retreat. Because we are responsible for the total accommodation fees regardless of attendance, all payments are non-refundable unless you are able to find someone to fill your spot. If you're unable to attend, we’ll do our best to help you find a replacement, but the final financial responsibility is yours. &nbsp;Transfers: If you are unable to attend, your registration can be transferred to another participant with approval from the organizers. &nbsp;We deeply appreciate your understanding and commitment. Thank you for joining us on this meaningful journey.

Terms & Payment Policy

While your retreat package includes daily yoga, nourishing meals, and beautiful accommodations, you’ll also have the option to personalize your experience with additional offerings. Spa and massage services, fresh coconuts, smoothies, bar beverages, and boutique purchases are available on-site and can be billed individually to your room. We’re also planning a few optional group excursions to explore the local area—these will come with an additional fee and will be announced in advance.

For those traveling from Missoula: For the most seamless and cost-effective travel, we suggest departing Missoula on Friday, February 20, 2026, and flying to either Seattle or San Francisco, spending the night, and then catching a more direct flight to ZIH (Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport) the next day. We’re currently exploring the idea of a casual meet-up in one or both of these cities before the retreat begins—if that sounds fun to you, stay tuned as plans evolve! You’ll be responsible for booking and covering the cost of your own flights and any overnight accommodations on the front or back end of the trip. For your return, we recommend flying out of ZIH on Saturday, February 28, spending the night again in your U.S. gateway city, and continuing onto Missoula on Sunday, March 1. Please plan to arrive at Playa Viva in time for our welcome dinner on February 21—exact time to be announced. More coordinated travel tips and suggestions will be shared as our group comes together!
