Vida Sana Retreats - Mexico and beyond, Playa del Carmen, Tulum (2026)

26/05/2026

🌴 Riviera Maya in the quiet season: where the beaches are nearly empty, the lagoons and cenotes are refreshingly cold, and there’s less obnoxious tourists being nuisances.

Summer months here mean getting up early to get a walk in before the pavement gets too hot for 🐶, half-empty cafés, and the afternoon rain to wash down the sticky humidity. ✨

However it wouldn’t be low season without that seasonal guest of honour, the sargazo (seaweed)💩. Tonnes of it. Daily. The tourism industry panics and politicians and stakeholders argue while the real action comes from the workers out there at sunrise with rakes, wheelbarrows, and the patience of saints - who help haul it off the shore so everyone else can pretend the Caribbean is still a postcard. Respect to these people. 🙏

Also, it’s my BIRTHDAY WEEK 🎂♊️ Shoutout to my fellow Geminis - us over-stimulated multi personality ones 😘. Looking forward to a cenote ceremony this weekend with

And the unexpected highlight of the week: after nearly 3 years in this country, I had my first friendly, helpful, efficient interaction with a Mexican government office. 🇲🇽✨. I went in mentally prepared for a three-hour battle and despite a power outage midway through the processing, two staff went out of their way to help me — and I walked out 45 minutes later, mission success! 💛

Low season. Birthday season. Small-wins-and-sargazo season. I’m here for all of it (and more 😁)

I believe that some years just take more out of you than others. This one’s been one of those.

So much noise. So much to hold. So much to keep navigating, processing, carrying on through.

And almost every woman I speak to lately is reaching for the same thing ….. somewhere quieter. Somewhere they can put it all down for a moment - to come back to themselves, away from the pace, the pressure, the constant being-on.

That’s what our San Miguel Women’s Immersion Retreat is for.

Maybe you have been holding it all together. The work, the people, the planning, the showing up. The mental tabs you can’t close. The quiet exhaustion no one really sees because you’re still functioning, still smiling and saying ‘I’m fine’.

This isn’t a wellness boot camp. It’s a proper exhale. It’s about being somewhere that lands softly. Somewhere the food is made for you, the schedule is already mapped out, and no one needs anything from you. Somewhere your nervous system finally remembers how to settle - into nature, into sisterhood, into a slower rhythm.

Yoga if you want it, or stillness if you don’t. Conversations with women who get it - whilst swaying in hammocks or sitting in the sauna. No pressure to transform. No early-morning cold plunges unless that’s genuinely your thing.

There are various wellness workshops woven through each week for those who want them - nourishment, movement, breath, the things that help you on your path. And if you’d like something more personal, optional private consultations are available with a choice of expert practitioners, so you can go deeper in the areas that matter most to you.

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. A small circle of women. And permission to finally, properly, stop.

Stay one week, or stay up to four. However long it takes for your shoulders to drop.

When was the last time you had REAL fun?

Not the half-distracted kind. Not the “I’m having fun but my brain is still answering emails” kind. I’m referring to the full-bodied, completely-in-it, feel-like-a-kid-again kind of fun.

In a coaching call with within today, we were reminded of just how important fun really is. Not as a reward or a luxury, but as a frequency. When we’re in fun mode, we’re vibrating at the level where good things land in every area of our lives: relationships, opportunities, health, abundance.

So this is your reminder to choose fun. Make space for it. Schedule it like you would a meeting. Whether that’s dancing in your kitchen, hitting the surf, or making time for the activity that lights you up - do it regularly. It’s not optional. It’s medicine.

One of my funnest moments of 2026 so far was Canyoning in Argentina during our Patagonia retreat 🏞️

That day we clambered, leaped across rocks, climbed, and swam against the current heading upriver. Once we’d reached our furthest point, we got to leap off rock faces into the flowing water below and then float downstream - taking in the stunning, remote landscape of the canyon all around us, with no other humans along the river.

We were fully present. Lots of laughter, refreshing pristine water, and the kind of exhilarating fun that only comes from doing something a bit wild.

Huge thanks to for guiding us through an experience that perfectly balanced safety and fun 💙

So - what’s your version of wild canyoning? And when are you doing it next?

Last year I had the privilege of participating in a sacred ceremony led by Benjo Podlech deep within this cave that holds one of the Riviera Maya’s hidden cenotes 💧

The indigenous Mayans believed these underground freshwater pools were portals to the spirit world, and after experiencing this ceremony, I understood why. Benjo, who is a transpersonal-humanistic psychologist and medicine man, weaves together psychology and ancestral Mayan wisdom in a way that gently guides you out of your head and into your body. The combination of the silence of the cave, the aqua blue water, the energy of the ancestral land, the medicine ……. and then the immersion itself, is truly powerful.

I still carry that ceremony with me. It’s like it rearranges something you didn’t even know you were holding.

is returning to the Riviera later this month, and will be holding this 7 hour ceremony again on Saturday May 30th, near Akumal. This is an intimate offering for just 12 guests.

If you’ve felt a quiet pull toward something deeper this year, we invite you to join us.

✨ A Special Guest Facilitator at Mt Shasta Retreat ✨

We are beyond honoured to welcome professional artist Iva Visosevic .vis as a guest facilitator at our upcoming Mt Shasta retreat 🎨

Iva is a professional painter originally from Croatia who is known for her expressive figurative work, with a Master’s in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. Her work has been exhibited across Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Mexico, and is housed in private collections around the world. Alongside her painting practice, she creates beautifully imaginative books for children.

After our mountain journey on foot guided by Dan , we will spend the afternoon being led by Iva through an art class held right on the property - in the vortex of Mt Shasta itself.

Imagine the sun setting behind the mountain before you, the energy of one of the most sacred sites on Earth beneath your feet, and you have the opportunity to express your creative side on canvas or paper guided by a talented professional artist. No experience needed. No pressure to “be good.” It’s a chance to slow down, tune in, and create something that comes from a deeper place than usual.

All materials will be provided 🖌️ All you need to bring is your willingness to play.

🌟 Also, Iva will be available for private self-portrait sittings on site during the retreat *at an additional cost. A chance to be captured by her hand, in this place, at this moment in your life, is truly unique.

This is what makes our retreats different - moments like this, with people like Iva, in places like Mt Shasta. Experiences designed to move something in you.

A few spots remain 🏔️ Link in bio for more info.

Croatia anyone? 🇭🇷

If you are a retreat leader, wellness venue owner, practitioner, luxury travel designer, or building a business within the retreat space, this is an event I would recommend to lock into your calendar.

If you’re looking to grow your retreat business, connect with aligned partners, or be in the room with those shaping the future of the industry, Synergy offers a truly unique space to do so.

Synergy – The Retreat Show brings together around 300 carefully curated professionals from across the global wellness travel industry for three days of meaningful exchange. There’ll be a blend of workshops, one-to-one meetings, and experiential sessions, all set within a truly inspiring environment.

The 2026 edition will take place from September 29 to October 2 at Pical Resort Valamar Collection on Croatia’s Istrian coast. This year’s theme, “The Healing Power of Nature,” draws from Istria’s rich landscape of crystal-clear waters, ancient olive groves, and a deeply rooted culture of wellbeing.

What sets Synergy apart is that it is not a conference with wellness on the side - it IS wellness. A full experience where business and wellbeing exist as one. Conversations happen during morning movement, over shared meals, and in nature, creating the conditions for genuine relationships to form.

The moment I lay here, looking out over San Miguel, I knew.

This is the place. The one I’ve been holding in my vision for years. A longer, deeper retreat for women in midlife who are ready to take proper time out for themselves.

This is for women from mid 40’s to 60’s who are craving real rest… the kind that permeates deeply and is so deserved for this chapter of their lives.

It isn’t about a quick reset. It’s an immersion in healthier, happier, longer living. With rhythms that nourish. In the kind of group that recognises women who they are underneath all the roles and responsibilities they carry.
The retreat days start with morning sunshine and breath or movement on the rooftop overlooking the town. A nutritious breakfast to fuel the day. A rotating program of cultural experiences and wellness workshops led by a hand-selected team of experts. Afternoons of free time to wander the historic centre or sink into the in-house wellness facilities. Evenings spent around chef-prepared themed dinners - or out sampling San Miguel’s buzzing restaurant scene.

San Miguel de Allende offers cobblestone streets, golden light, stunning mountainous scenery, a slowness that invites you to move more mindfully. It is one of Mexico’s most enchanting historic towns, and the perfect location for this immersion.

🗓️ March 2027 - Stay 7, 14, 21 or 28 days.

Birthday energy this evening with this incredible human ✨🥳

What started as a colleague connection has grown into so much more - a close friendship, business partners, travel companions, hotel roomies, being each other’s translator, conference co-presenters, medicine circle buddies and retreat co-hosts.

On the surface, we couldn’t look more different - Heidi, tall and dark; me, short and blonde - and hailing from opposite sides of the world. As well as completely different backgrounds.

However, we share a deep passion for holistic health, spirituality, the power of nature, and creating spaces for people to heal. And we’re even the same age… well at least for a 5 week period each year 😉

I can’t imagine my life in Mexico without Heidi’s witchy magic. Anyone who has Heidi in their life (or has attended one of her sessions) is better for it.

Here’s to many more projects, wild ideas and making memories together. So grateful our paths crossed 🫶

Te amo, mi amiga preciosa y Feliz cumpleaños 🎊 💫

Some of my most treasured memories as a mother happened when we stepped out of our normal routine and into somewhere completely different. No school runs, no packed lunches, no screens competing for attention. Just us being present, unhurried, and actually together.

When I took my kids travelling, something shifted. Without the noise of everyday life, we connected on a level that just doesn’t happen at home. We talked and laughed more. We were more aware of one another. Those trips didn’t just give us a break; they gave us back to each other again.

Those key memories where what led me to create this retreat.

Four days among the ancient redwoods of Mendocino, Northern California. Yoga for all ages. Nature adventures. Nourishing meals prepared for you. Campfire evenings under the stars. No planning, no cooking, no stressful logistics - just quality time with the people who matter most. And the opportunity to make new friends too.

This isn’t just a kids’ activity camp with yoga on the side. It’s a genuine family experience designed to slow everyone down, reconnect, and create the kind of memories that stay with you long after you get home.

🗓️ June 11–14, 2026
📍 Spirit Camp, Mendocino
🧒 Recommended age 5+

Secure one of the remaining private family cabins.

Hope you can join us in the redwoods! 🌳

The Embrace of the Cenote

A sacred descent into yourself.

There are places on Earth
that don’t just exist…

They reveal something in you. This is not just a ceremony. It is an encounter.

With the Earth. With the water.
With the part of you that has been waiting.

In the cenote, within a cave, crystal clear water and darkness… something softens.

This is for you if:
You have done work on yourself… but still feel something unresolved.
You are ready to stop understanding and start experiencing.
You feel the call to go deeper - not higher, but deeper. This is not a comfortable experience. It is a real one.

A space where you release what you’ve been holding; you reconnect with your essence
and you allow something new to emerge.

12 participants maximum.
A private cenote.
A held and intentional space.

🗓 May 30th, 2026
3:00 PM - 10:00 PM
📍 Riviera Maya

If something in you responds to this…
don’t ignore it.
This is not for everyone.
But if it’s for you… you will feel it.

Led by Medicine Man + Humanistic Psychologist

For more info or to book your spot, send a DM or type ‘Cenote’ in the comments. The Ceremony will be conducted in Spanish and English.
