About This Trip

The Wild Within Retreat is an invitation to journey back to your truest self—through movement, stillness, nature, and connection.

This year marks our 5th annual March retreat at Present Moment—a deeply special milestone in a journey that began with a shared vision between Felicity Odell and Adriana Gonzalez. While Adriana stepped into the beautiful role of new motherhood, Felicity took the lead in bringing the vision to life, planting the seeds of what would become a beloved and transformative experience for so many.

Over the years, the retreat has grown in spirit, depth, and connection—each year unfolding with its own magic. In 2025, we welcomed Lori Lopez to our teaching team, adding another radiant voice to our circle. Together, we now form a trio of teachers with unique backgrounds and energy, united by a shared love for yoga, healing, and creating spaces where people can truly come home to themselves.

Join us at the breathtaking Present Moment Retreat in Troncones, Mexico, a beachfront sanctuary known not only for its stunning setting but for its exceptional 5-star service from beginning to end. From seamless airport transportation, to the care and guidance of your retreat leaders, to the attentive Present Moment staff, inspiring yoga platform, and delicious meals served daily at their on-site beachfront restaurant—every moment is thoughtfully designed to support your transformation, relaxation, and joy. The bohemian Mexican-inspired rooms add charm and comfort to your stay, making this a truly unforgettable experience in every way.

Over 8 days, we’ll explore the wild beauty of the outer world—and the deeper, quieter wildness within. Begin each day with meditation and yoga on a stunning open-air platform just steps from the warm, turquoise waters of the Mexican Riviera. Move your body, calm your mind, and awaken your spirit in a setting that nurtures your whole being.

Let yourself go. Meet yourself exactly where you are. Say yes to yourself—sometimes that’s the hardest part. We can all come up with a million excuses or reasons to say no. But this is your invitation to choose you. 

You’ll be surrounded by like-minded souls in an atmosphere of positivity, openness, curiosity, and zero judgment. This is a space for open hearts and flexible minds—where everyone is welcome just as they are, and where the journey is yours to explore at your own pace. Come on your own or bring a friend. Either way, you’ll be met with warmth, laughter, and the magic of meaningful connection.

Enjoy delicious, locally sourced meals tailored to your individual needs. Wander barefoot through this magical surf village, immerse in local culture, and rediscover what makes you feel most alive. Troncones is a hidden gem that draws travelers, dreamers, and seekers from around the globe—a perfect place to reconnect, recharge, and rise into your own radiance.

Whether you've never stepped on a yoga mat, are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat is for anyone craving movement, meaning, laughter, and connection. Say yes to new friendships, sacred moments, and the freedom to just be.

Come with us. Explore. Breathe. Play. Awaken the wild within.
