A journey of remembering…
We invite you to embark on an intimate journey of remembering.
A week to reconnect with the wonders and wisdom of nature, to embrace the profound beauty of the wild, to remember what you are made of, and who you truly are.
A sacred holding space to return to Mother Earth, rest in her embrace, and become one with her cycles and rhythms.
The Experience
Each day will provide a deep investigation and a meaningful discovery of both your inner and outer worlds. An exploration of our intricate physical and energetic bodies, and a travel through Nature’s Elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. The essence of each elemental force that not only surrounds you, but also resides within you.
We will dive deep into yoga, meditation, breath, voice and sound, dance, creative arts, and other earth-based practices designed to harmonize the physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. Rituals, ceremonies, and celebrations to inspire you, nourish you, and awaken you. Each offering curated to offer you rich experiences, personal insight, and supportive integration techniques that you can infuse into your everyday living.
Moments of quiet and stillness, alongside wonder and play. Personal moments for each one of us, a sacred circle shared between all of us. A powerful portal of change for anyone craving to reconnect to the sacredness of life.
We have a great responsibility here on this planet, and we are being called to soften, to embrace, to love, to nurture, to rise, to spark, and to remember.
Let your journey into Self begin…

Offerings + Activities for an Additional Cost:
~ Holistic & Therapeutic Bodywork, Energy Healing, and an array of additional spa services at Haramara’s open-air Healing Center & Spa.
~ A Group Temazcal (Sweatlodge) Ceremony. This is an ancient purification ceremony that has been used in many cultures, mostly in the Native American & Mexican cultures, for various purposes such as healing, praying, and preparing for long ceremonies. It symbolizes the cycle of death and rebirth, the shedding of old skin, the embracing of our shadow and light, and the experience of being One with Spirit.
~ Optional off-site activities include: whale watching, surfing, hiking, snorkeling, and horseback riding. And plenty of time to rest, relax on Haramara’s private beach, or by the infinity pool, explore the vibrant towns of Sayulita and San Pancho, and anything else your soul desires.

Words of Love:
"These experiences are the closest thing I have found to Heaven on Earth. It’s my week of self-care. The only chance I really have as a mom of two littles with a demanding career to unplug, get to know myself again, enjoy time with women of all stages of life, and recharge. Taking care of myself with yoga, breathing the ocean air, sleeping to the sounds of the crashing waves, getting the most amazing bodywork, hiking, eating nourishing food prepared with love, and feeling safe and cared for allows me to return home to my family restored. I have been on this journey four times now and can’t wait to go back again. It will never get old." ~Andrea
"Calling this a yoga retreat doesn’t do it justice. It’s a spiritual healing journey that gives you a supportive space to release and let go, to turn inward, to reconnect to Mother Earth, and to find direction, purpose and hope through movement, meditation, quiet, tears, laughter, community and dance. If only we could all live in this space for ever, the world would be a better place. - Lyndsey
'“This was one of the best, if not best, experiences of my life. Thank you so much, I am so grateful for you and this retreat. It changed so much for me.” - Kelly
"This retreat exceeded my expectations - from my lovely casita, to the meals, to the people in our group, to the ocean...I didn't know what to expect but it was the most magical place, wonderful people, incredible yoga....and it felt so beautiful to be in community in this way...a true gift. Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Jayne
"l was given permission to experience the "inter-connectedness" of life, each other, nature. It gave me a renewed sense of faith and I knew that Joanna truly heard me when I expressed that. Because I was listened to so deeply ...it mirrored back to me what I needed so much. I believe in the transcendent universe. That's a pretty big "take away"!!!! I am meditating more and have been attending Saturday morning yoga class. I feel that my body is recovering better from exercise, and the gifts of this journey will only continue to unfold." - Joanne
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
