a 4-night small-group women's retreat in bacalar, mexico — for women who are ready for something to shift. this isn't a resort holiday. it's an intentional reset — designed to move you from whatever you're carrying (burnout, transition, exhaustion, too many tabs open in your brain) toward something that feels clearer, steadier and more like you. limited to 6 women — always. we stay in a private residential home in bacalar, reserved only for our group. morning yoga. evening sound healing. cold water immersion. lagoon rituals. guided breathwork. a sunset on the water that does something to you. the retreat follows a clear arc across four days: arrival and grounding, release and reset, restore and reconnect, then integration and forward movement. every session is sequenced to support nervous system regulation — not to perform or push, but to actually land. i'll be in touch before you arrive and after you leave. this retreat is small on purpose.

Itinerary

The retreat moves through a clear four-stage arc — from arrival and grounding, through release and restoration, toward integration and forward movement. Day 1 — Arrive & Exhale: Check-in from 4pm. Participants are welcomed with retreat gifts before gathering for an opening circle — a grounding ceremony to set intention. An evening restorative practice gently settles the nervous system after travel, followed by a nourishing shared dinner. Day 2 — Release & Reset: Morning begins with an all-levels hatha flow to reconnect breath and body. Participants then explore Bacalar's natural landscape with intention — cenote visits or sailing across the lagoon. Free afternoon. Evening yin practice and shared dinner. Day 3 — Restore & Reconnect: Morning yoga deepens into steadiness and embodied awareness. A group trip to a local lagoon spot for connection and play. A sunset sound healing session — one of the most quietly powerful parts of the whole retreat — followed by dinner together. Day 4 — Integrate & Step Forward: Morning practice focuses on grounding and forward orientation. Throughout the day: guided breathwork, cold-water immersion, structured journalling and facilitated group reflection. Final group dinner at a local Bacalar restaurant. Departure: A gentle closing movement session and final ceremony. Group breakfast. 12pm departure.

Past Reviews (optional)

"That was such a wonderful experience with Nicole! She is such a great, warm person who takes such pleasure in what she does! She created such a beautiful atmosphere and I am super happy that I had the experience! Thanks again!" "If you’re searching for a place to feel grounded again, this retreat is for you. This is not a luxury resort, it’s a space to truly connect with nature, the locals, and yourself. You learn to find comfort in discomfort, and I promise, it’s worth every moment. Thank you, Nicole, for holding this space and for helping me find myself again. You are truly amazing." "The setting in a small town in Mexico, in a simple abode between two active Mexican households with lots of kids and dogs and real life was refreshing. The group of women from 25 to 68 were all accommodated well and thrived in the safe container provided by Nicole. It’s not fancy, it’s authentic. We became familiar with the town, spent many hours on the lagoon, and floated down a river. Excellent."
