The vibrant tapestry of Mexican culture nurtures a profound healing within the soul. From the serene tranquility of ancient Mayan ruins, to the therapeutic properties of traditional healing practices like Temazcal, Mexico offers a sanctuary for much needed rejuvenation.
Tulum, a haven on the Carribean Sea, is situated at one of Earths energy vortex’s. No wonder it is such a spectacular place for deep healing! Tulum envokes images of cenotes with crystal clear waters, mayan temples, tropical markets, and lush jungles, and that is exactly what you'll experience!
With daily yoga, profound healing workshops, and mesmerizing ceremonies, your soul will be set ablaze. Explore the mystical wonders of Tulum, from ethereal swims in sacred cenotes to captivating encounters with ancient Mayan ruins. Surrender to the allure of an authentic Mexican Temazcal, dance beneath the stars to welcome the new year, and immerse yourself in transformative healing sessions that will leave an indelible mark on your being. This journey is an unequivocal declaration of love to yourself, a transformative voyage that will forever etch its essence upon your spirit.
Our Venue
We’ll be spending 7 fabulous nights at the gorgeous Paledora Campus, complete with a private pool just for the guests, healing cave and cenotes so close we can walk to them. We’ve got an entire villa booked just for us, and every room has it’s own private ensuite. Serene privacy meets all of the luxury comforts you desire for some well earned rest and recovery.
We handpicked Paledora for a reason – its unyielding passion for biodiversity and land preservation, vibrant involvement in the local community, and wholehearted commitment to exchanging cultural wisdom. Paledoras jungle oasis offers a pristine sanctuary, where we will gather as a purposeful community, discover profound meaning within ourselves and embrace a harmonious equilibrium in our lives.

Okay but what are we eating?
The talented chefs at Paledora will be nourishing our bodies with local, organic, authentic Mexican Cuisine! No, I’m not talking about rice and beans, think avocado bruschetta, muladhara mushroom tacos, veggie empanadas, homemade tortillas, succulent tropical fruits, and local cacao (chocolate). We will sip succulent detox juices each morning with breakfast, enjoy micro-greens and sunflower cheeses, and embrace the most glorious delights of Mexican culture- fresh food!
During buffet- style shared meals, entirely gluten free and mainly vegetarian (with the option of locally sourced meat at some meals), we will tantalize our tastebuds with a variety of dishes during breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner, and deepen our social connections while we laugh around the table. This holistic way of eating is about more than filling our bellies; we are deeply nourishing ourselves to fuel healing transformations.
Don’t eat this or that? No problem! We are prepared to handle any request you’ve got!

Meet Your Guide:
Hi, I’m Carleigh, a mental warrior, adventure enthusiast, and lover of travel and new experiences! Mental health is my greatest passion, and it is my calling in life to guide others towards healing their minds.
My darkest days began when I was just 12 years old, struggling with crippling anxiety, depression, and planning to take my own life. Over the years, my anxiety grew into disordered eating and substance abuse, while I moved in and out of depressive episodes. When I was 19, I experienced my only manic episode, a pivotal moment in my healing journey. I came to realize that I was not defined by the way my brain worked, and promised myself that I would find healing.
I began a deep dive into my mind, immersing myself in nature, focusing on nutrition, and prioritizing sleep. At the age of 20, I became a yoga teacher, and have since been continuing the journey of mastering and healing my own mind, whilst guiding others to do the same. Though I have a degree in psychology, and a deep interest in neuroscience, nothing has taught me more than my own personal experience.
The workshops I teach combine science, wisdom, and experiencing first hand what works. I know that you can heal your mind, you can transform your life, and I know this because I’ve done it.
Who I am today is someone who is unconditionally in love with herself, and so proud of everything that I’ve accomplished. Let me take you on this same journey, help you master your own mind, transform your life, and achieve calm and confidence.

Why is this trip such a great deal?Aside from your accommodation, food, and activities being totally handled, the intensive workshops and wisdom you will absorb are SO valuable, that you cannot afford to miss this trip! How will your life look in 5 years if nothing changes? You deserve this transformation!
-
Can my friend, partner, kids, and dog come?As this is a deeply transformative experience, we highly recommend that you take the leap of faith and come on this journey alone. If you and a friend/ loved one have been on a healing journey together, and truly feel that you both need this experience, please reach out at manasmastery@gmail.com, and let's have a conversation. Please leave all furry friends at home with a pet sitter.
-
Do I have to participate in all of the activities?In order to get the most out of this retreat, we highly encourage that you participate in all activities. However, that being said, if you would prefer to sleep in and miss yoga, or take a rest day and skip an excursion, that is up to you! Please note, all activities are booked ahead of time, and if you do choose not to participate in something, it will not result in a refund.
-
How many people are coming on this retreat?We are inviting a maximum of 10 people to join us in Tulum, so our group will be small and intimate!
-
What if I don’t eat certain foods?Our on-site chefs are fully prepared to cater to any dietary restrictions or allergies, just let us know ahead of time!
-

I’m scared to travel alone, is this trip for me?If you’re scared to travel alone, this trip is PERFECT for you!

Take solitude if you wish, or enjoy the social aspect of the retreat with your new best friends!
-
I don’t speak Spanish, can I still come?Tulum is quite a touristed area, and most people speak English really well! Your guides are fluent in English, and speak a small amount of Spanish so they can help you communicate if necessary. All of your tours, workshops, and classes will be in English.
-
I’ve never travelled internationally, will I be safe?Just to be clear, you do need a passport to travel internationally, but once you have that then you’re good to go! Experiencing another culture is one of the great joys of being alive! Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. Your guides are very familiar with Tulum, we are staying in a safe (and family friendly) location, and you will be chaperoned every step of the way (unless you desire a solo exploration, which you are welcome to take)! Long answer short, yes, you are safe and in great hands.
-
When/where do I fly in?We recommend flying into Cancun on December 29th in the late morning/ early afternoon if possible, and we will have a shuttle leaving Cancun airport at 2:30pm to bring you to Paledora! On January 5th, we recommend booking a flight from Cancun in the afternoon, as we have a shuttle leaving from Paledora at 11am, and the trip is 1.5 hours. If you are flying in/ out at times separate from these, we are happy to help you arrange an airport shuttle at your own cost.
