RETREAT
A LONG EXHALE
A Women’s Retreat in
Riviera Nayarit, Mexico
MARCH 8 - 13, 2027
Join us for five restorative nights in San Pancho, a soulful beach town on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit, where the jungle meets the Pacific.
A Long Exhale is an invitation to pause, soften, and put down everything you have been carrying. Together, we will step away from our routines (and our phones) to reconnect with our bodies, our intuition, one another, and the parts of ourselves that are often drowned out by the demands of everyday life.
This is not a retreat about fixing yourself or filling every moment with self-improvement. It is a chance to breathe more deeply, move with intention, laugh freely, rest without guilt, and remember what it feels like to simply be.
Come exactly as you are. Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself.
DETAILS
THE EXPERIENCE
Our days will move at a gentle rhythm, with a thoughtful balance of movement, meaningful conversation, shared experiences, and space to rest.
Your retreat experience will include:
Daily yoga and intentional movement
Guided meditation and breathwork
Spiritual coaching and facilitated group conversations
A restorative sound bath
A traditional temazcal ceremony
A guided local hike
Nourishing shared meals
Time for the beach, pool, rest, reading, and reflection
A relaxed evening of games, laughter, and connection
A sunset sea turtle experience
Plenty of space to do absolutely nothing
Participation is always an invitation, never an obligation. You are welcome to join every offering or listen to what your body needs and take time for yourself.
THE VIBE
Warm, grounded, intimate, and intentionally unhurried. Think “done-for-you girl’s trip.”
Barefoot mornings, nourishing food, ocean air, meaningful conversation, deep rest, genuine laughter, and nowhere else you need to be. This small-group experience is for women who want to step away from the constant demands of everyday life and be fully present with themselves and one another.
We encourage you to leave your phone in your room during activities and shared experiences. A photographer will capture beautiful moments throughout the retreat, so you can stay immersed without feeling responsible for documenting everything yourself.
Although the retreat is not alcohol-free, alcohol will not be provided at the villa. If you’d like to enjoy a drink during your stay, you’re welcome to bring your own or grab a margarita in town.
No one is expected to perform, overshare, or become a “better” version of themselves. Just space to slow down, let go, and take a deep exhale.
YOUR HOME IN SAN PANCHO
We will gather at a private retreat villa, just steps from the Pacific Ocean. This newly renovated property was designed specifically for gathering, restoration, and connection, and is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Riviera Nayarit.
Throughout the property, you will find places to come together and places to be entirely on your own. Practice yoga in the open air, float in the expansive saltwater pool, experience the temazcal and cold plunge, or settle into one of the property’s quiet meditation and lounge areas, while the rooftop dining area invites us to share nourishing meals beneath the open sky. Sun-drenched days give way to ocean sunsets and starlit evenings. You can move, swim, read, nap, wander down to the beach, or simply let yourself enjoy having nowhere else to be.
Each suite is a shared, double-occupancy room with 2 queen memory foam beds with partial ocean views, air conditioning, fans, USB plugs, and an ensuite bathroom. Each room also has a small terrace that overlooks the pool and yoga deck. You may register with a friend or come on your own, and we will thoughtfully pair you with another guest.
We can accommodate up to two single-occupancy rooms for an additional charge. If having a private room is important to you, please contact us directly for availability and pricing before registering.
