Retreat. Step away from the daily responsibilities and demands of your world and step into an oceanfront sanctuary with other women who are seeking rich and meaningful connection. Join me for a nourishing week of restoring your feminine spirit, rediscovering your magnificence, and witnessing what may emerge when we slow down and rest.
Your retreat host, Joanne Frederick, has lovingly taken care of all the details so all you need to do is arrange your flights and pack a suitcase. You'll be greeted at the Cancun airport by a professional shuttle driver who will be your guide for the 20 kilometer route to the villa, which is located north of Cancun on the peaceful and remote peninsula known as Isla Blanca. The location is secluded yet safe, with onsite staff available at all times.
The luxurious seven bedroom oceanfront villa will be your home away from home, where the turquoise waters of the Caribbean sea will provide the visual and acoustic backdrop for the week. Watch the sun rise in the morning, be entranced by the waves throughout the day, and be lulled to sleep by rhythmic sound of the water from your comfortable bed at night.
Each day of the retreat, you get to choose what you do...or better yet...what you don't do. Just be. Sleep late. Wake early to watch the sun rise. Lay on a lounge chair overlooking the ocean and read. Nap. Go for a walk along the endless beach. Play. Deep dive into rich and meaningful conversation. Laugh. Cry. Laugh some more. Do some gentle yoga. Have a massage. Relish in a hammock at dusk. Watch the clouds. Reflect. Float in the pool. Wonder. Ponder. Dream. Reconnect with yourself. Write a love letter to Mother Nature. Just be.
Nourishingly delicious meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), snacks and beverages will be prepared by the in-house chef, Vicky, and her exceptional team. Rumour has it that they add plenty of Vitamin L (love) to all the food. Daily menus have been curated to tantalize your taste buds while meeting your specific dietary needs. Please note that the retreat will be an alcohol and drug free experience so as to support and honour women recovering from substance-related challenges and those who may be sober curious.
Be sure to look through the numerous photos of the villa, pool, and nearby beach to get a sense of the accommodations, amenities and location.
