Highly recommend this retreat if you are looking for a truly rejuvenating experience. This truly is the ULTIMATE Self Care Retreat ! Third retreat I have attended with Amber and Colleen , 2nd one at this location! Truly magical, healing. Ambers gentle yoga practice is inspiring and accessible for all levels. Collen brings her wisdom of Ayurveda in a very simple and fun way. The retreat center is divine. The staff is amazing ! The food is so nourishing, so incredible! The owners John and Priscilla sure have created a space of healing unlike any other. The practioniors on site offering healing body work are state of the art. If you are looking to detox from technology and nourish the body and mind instead-this is the retreat for you !

This retreat was…confronting (my own beliefs), rejuvenating (my patience with myself and the world around me), challenging (my reactions to become responses). Off-grid to detach from the mindlessness of hustle culture and reconnect with my Self. Intellectually, I know that I am just as much ‘nature’ as the tree outside my window but time in this jungle helped me remember what that means. Back at home I feel like I’m taking things less personally. I’m more accepting of what is. And I’m more enthusiastic about taking good care of me. The food was 10/10 The classes were 10/10 Location was 10/10 And the BELLY DANCING 🤌🏻 I went from feeling ‘meh’ about myself to feeling like a damn goddess the instant Colleen told us “now you.”

If you are considering attending The Self-Care Retreat, DO IT! This was my second time attending the retreat but my first time at Equilibrium and I was completely smitten by this magickal, healing space. The food, lodging, and services felt luxurious, yet the retreat's true star was the access to nature and its healing properties. Amber and Colleen cultivated a safe space for participants to respond and process their experience as well as build a loving community in a relatively short time. All aspects of this trip were exquisite. From Amber's expertly crafted yoga classes to the 1:1 Ayurvedic sessions guided by Colleen's deep wisdom, one could not help but choose their health and well-being, not only during the retreat but also moving forward from this experience. I can not recommend this retreat enough!

The Self-Care Retreat hosted by Colleen and Amber was a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and connection. The location itself was pure magic. Nestled in the heart of the jungle in the Sierra Madre Mountains, the eco-resort was off-grid, with no electricity (or mirrors) in the casitas. Falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle and waking up with the rising sun created a deep sense of peace and harmony with nature. Evenings were illuminated by lanterns and candlelight, enhancing the retreat's intimate and grounding atmosphere. The morning yoga sessions were lovingly guided in the beautiful studio surrounded by lush greenery. Each practice felt deeply immersive, blending movement with mindfulness and breathwork. Journaling prompts added to the self-reflection and intention-setting theme of the retreat. Beyond yoga, the retreat offered powerful holistic experiences that made the journey even more transformative. The bodywork sessions were exceptional, releasing deep-seated tension and promoting relaxation on a whole new level. The cacao ceremony was a heart-opening experience, fostering connection, intention-setting, and emotional release. And the temazcal (sweat lodge) ceremony was truly profound - an intense yet deeply cleansing ritual that left me feeling physically detoxed and spiritually renewed. In addition to the practices and ceremonies, there were opportunities to relax in nature in the beautiful mineral pool and walk throughout the grounds exploring flora and fauna alike. The sense of community among fellow retreat-goers was truly special, with shared meals, conversations, and collective moments of reflection deepening the experience. This retreat was not just a getaway-it was a soul-nourishing experience that offered deep healing, clarity, and renewal. If you're looking for a yoga retreat that blends adventure, nature, and powerful holistic practices in a sustainable, off-grid setting, I wholeheartedly recommend The Self Care Retreat hosted by Colleen & Amber at Equilibrium Healing Resort and Spa.

I love this little hideaway in the jungle! All the creature comforts were there and I got back to basics. The group was an interesting set of characters ;) I felt lighter and tighter when I left; truly amazing experience!
