Welcome to the 3rd Annual Haven Retreat for Female Entrepreneurs.
Join us March 8–14, 2026, at the stunning La Joya—a hidden gem tucked away on Playa Escondida, just minutes from Sayulita’s vibrant town center. Nestled between swaying palms and a quartz-studded boulder at the water’s edge, this boutique, family-run resort offers elegant accommodations, wellness-centered amenities, and the space to reconnect—
to nature, to your purpose, to others, and to yourself.
This Rare Method™ Retreat Experience invites you to drop into daily somatic-informed movement and mind practices overlooking the Pacific. Through self-inquiry, journaling, conversation, and immersive activities, you’ll uncover what’s ready to shift—and what’s meant to stay. You’ll leave with renewed clarity, connection, and creativity.

Movement that Moves You
Rare Method™ offers a one-of-a-kind approach to mind and movement practices rooted in flow yoga and informed by Somatic Experiencing principles. Guided by founder Randelle Lusk, this integrative practice supports grounded embodiment, emotional resiliency and nervous system regulation as it weaves together cathartic release, somatic healing techniques, dynamic breathwork, and intentional pause.
This Year's Theme: Emotional Intelligence
At Haven 2026, we’re exploring Emotional Intelligence—not only as a theory, but as a felt, embodied experience that shapes how we lead, relate, and live.
This theme will thread through our group workshops, somatic practices, and guided self-inquiry. Together, we’ll explore the ways we perceive ourselves, express our truth, navigate relationships, manage stress, and make aligned decisions.
Emotional Intelligence becomes a tool for real-time awareness—helping us respond rather than react, set boundaries with clarity, and stay connected to what matters most.
Prior to arrival each guest will complete and EQi 2.0 Assessment which we will debrief and dive into together.
This retreat offers space to grow your emotional fluency and reconnect with the inner intelligence that lives in your body, breath, and presence.
Rare Method™ retreats are thoughtfully designed to offer a balance of structure and spaciousness—blending personal development with plenty of time for rest, play, and reconnection. Each day invites you to step more fully into yourself. Here's a glimpse of the daily rhythm:
✨Kindly note this schedule is subject to change.
Just beyond the vibrant energy of Sayulita, a winding cobblestone road leads to Playa Escondida—Sayulita’s hidden beach. Nestled between swaying palms and a quartz-kissed boulder on the shoreline, you’ll find La Joya Resort.
This family-run boutique hotel and retreat space is a true gem of the Riviera Nayarit. With elegant accommodations, wellness-focused amenities—including a sauna, cold plunge, whirlpool, and outdoor fitness area—La Joya invites you to slow down and reconnect: to yourself, to nature, and to the present moment.
La Joya is the home to Tekuamana Restaurant & Bar by Chef Jorge Miramontes. Each meal served offers an experience of sensory indulgence. The menu is inspired by Mexican tradition and elevated by sourcing organis, local and wild ingredients. Cooked without seed oils, the kitchen instead opts for ghee, avocado oil and rendered fat. The result is the most healthful and distinctive culinary experience in the area.
Guests will be invited to preselect their meals from Tekuamana’s seasonal menu ahead of the retreat, helping the team prepare a personalized and nourishing experience. There will still be flexibility to make adjustments upon arrival if needed.
Fly into Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) from most major North American cities. Westjet offers direct flights from Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto. Suggested arrival time is no later than 3pm and departure no earlier than 230pm, local time.
