Accomodations + Transportation

We'll be staying at Meraki House in Dover, Ohio. This 12-bedroom, Tulum-inspired property has a pool, hot tub, sauna, fire pit, swings, a yoga platform and tons of communal space for us to hang, inside and out. 


Meraki is a Greek word that means to pour yourself, your heart, creativity, and soul into what you do, and this space was created in that spirit. Perfection was never the goal. The owners transformed a former doomsday shelter into a retreat space made from shipping containers.


Nicole Barley will be our chef for the weekend, cooking vegetarian and primarily gluten free meals and snacks. We'll ask for your dietary restrictions upon sign up and do our best to accommodate.


You'll be responsible for your own transportation to and from Meraki house. The exact address will be shared closer to our start date and you'll be able to park on-site. Coming from out of town? You can fly into Pittsburgh (65 miles away), Cleveland (65 miles), or Columbus (85 miles away) and rent a car or carpool. We'll start a group chat closer to the retreat dates where you can perhaps make carpool plans with fellow retreaters.

Thank you to Catherine for hosting a tremendous retreat and for the team at Amansala for helping to make our retreat an impeccable experience. My expectations were blown away. It was the perfect mix of movement and fitness, sunshine and relaxation, community and friendship, and unique and deep experiences. I especially loved the morning walks, yoga classes, sauna cave, and ice plunge! This retreat truly filled my cup. I can’t wait to go back!
By Marissa L for The Retreat with Catherine Gignac (Feb 2-7, 2024 / 5 Nights) on Feb 16, 2024
“The Retreat” was an unmatchable experience. Catherine brings an incredible amount of creativity, energy, and wisdom into this magical setting. There is a perfect balance between structure and free time, and all activities are curated with thoughtfulness and care. I formed meaningful and lasting connections in a very brief period of time thanks to the warm, welcoming, free and fun environment that was created by Catherine. Accommodations, food, and amenities were also great. Can’t wait to return!
By Lynn L for The Retreat with Catherine Gignac (Feb 2-7, 2024 / 5 Nights) on Feb 16, 2024
The Retreat with Catherine Gignac from Feb2-7, was a 5+ STAR experience. This was my first time attending anything like this, and it completely checked all the boxes and exceeded all expectations. The resort was fabulous, relaxing and the perfect setting for the Retreat. The staff was exceptional and extremely accommodating each and every day. They attended to all requests promptly. The food (menu) from breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner were all a terrific blend of authentic cuisine and fantastic beach cocktails. As for the Retreat, it was unbelievably organized and was the perfect mix of yoga sessions, excursions, group activities, educational sessions and of course some free time. The organizer, Catherine, was a wealth of information and brought an ease to me, that had never traveled outside the USA. Her schedule and welcome packet allowed the attendees to be a part of as many of each days events or if needed the flexibility to take some down time if needed. The energy level and great group of attendees put me and the entire group in the frame of mind not to miss anything on the schedule. This allowed us all to have the time to connect with the other attendees in a more personal level, and by the end of the 5 days it seemed like we became more like a family than just retreat attendees. I would recommend any Retreat lead by Catherine Gignac. She is a rockstar and you will not be disappointed to sign up for any upcoming Retreats lead by her. My best, Scott

One of the most remarkable aspects of the trip was how each person showed up authentically, embracing their messy selves with grace and openness. I absolutely loved all the tears and laughter. Catherine's skillful facilitation created a safe container for us to explore our vulnerabilities and connect on a deeper level, forging bonds that felt both profound and enduring. The activities planned were nothing short of exhilarating, offering a perfect blend of adventure and introspection. I loved my Reiki session with Chandree and have already started doing ice baths + breath work at home. The resort itself was a sanctuary of rejuvenation and relaxation, providing a serene backdrop for our journey of self-discovery. It was the perfect oasis to unwind and recharge each day. This trip to Tulum + Amansala exceeded all of my expectations, thanks to Catherine's thoughtful guidance, the authentic presence of of each person, the exciting activities, and the setting of the resort. It was a journey that left me feeling renewed, inspired, and deeply connected—to myself, to each person, and to the beauty of the world around us!
