This family-friendly week-long retreat with Rachel Rajput and Lael Humphries will take place at Mar De Jade, a magical yoga and meditation retreat center in Chacala, Mexico. Chacala is 41 miles north of Puerta Vallerta, and we will pick you up from the airport at PV and deliver you right to the door of Paradise!
UPDATED for COVID: Mar De Jade has impeccable cleaning protocols and distancing guidelines. All meals are served outdoors, with all yoga classes in Open-Air studios. Aside from your roommate(s), there is no need for indoor mixing with any other folks, and the property is plenty large enough that it never feels crowded. Please read their updated protocols HERE.
We will spend 8 days and 7 nights deepening our yoga practice and enjoying a true digital detox. Unwind in paradise with twice-daily offerings of yoga. and meditation to soothe your troubled soul. Feast on healthy and organic farm-to-table buffet meals, get a massage, cruise the bay in a Stand Up paddleboard, take a jungle hike, tour the farm, detoxify in an Aztec Sweat Lodge, enjoy pampering spa treatments, swim in the pools, or take a dip in the ocean waters. *If you must use the Wifi, it is fast, with very few connectivity problems.
But wait! Mar De Jade is also a socially conscious nonprofit organization that has a number of community efforts. It is run by founder Laura del Valle and her daughter Anjelica, who live on the property. Our retreat fees go directly to support:
El Jardin: their local school (free for community children)
El Rancho: their organic permaculture farm, and the new:
Tao De Jade: trade school for underserved teens and single parents.
