WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?

A TRUE RETREAT is one that gives you an experience away from your norm. Away from the stressors of daily life and into a world where you can tap into relaxation and rest. A true retreat allows you to withdraw from your everyday habits so you can create space to discover your peace within. It gives you the opportunity to reconnect with joy and flow with life’s changes as individuals and the collective whole. Take time on this true retreat to nestle into nature and dive into the depths of your self to create a space to connect, transform and adapt with grace.

THIS TRANQUILITY RETREAT WILL GIVE YOU…

We’ve all experienced feeling burned out. It’s sort of become a societal norm to overwork ourselves. To put everyone and everything before our own needs. And especially through a global pandemic, we have been living in uncertain times that has created a stress like we’ve never experienced before.

It’s finally time for a break. And space to rest. We invite you on this special retreat to begin your own transformation into living your life with flow. To step away from the hustle & bustle and step into an experience of wellness and peace.

We believe a true retreat gives you the opportunity to explore in nature and within yourself. This means stepping out of the habits and routines you have been living day in and day out for weeks, months or even years.

As your guides, we will provide you a space for you to return to yourself. To cultivate a wholeness that you not only experience while away but return home with to nurture a continual growth within. Through movement practices, yoga, meditation, workshops and ceremony, this retreat is a time to nurture your own transformation and gives you the invitation to make your way back to the place you’ve been seeking to return to: home within yourself.

BACALAR, MEXICO & AKALKI

In Mayan, “Bacalar” means “laguna of seven colors.” It is said that there are seven shades of blue in the pristine waters of Bacalar. And seven, being a sacred number in many traditions (ie: the 7 chakras in yogic philosophy), makes this magical location one of wonder, beauty and the perfect place to connect with nature.

The Akalki Holistic Center is a sanctuary of relaxation and healing, exquisite beauty and comfort, located on the banks of the pristine waters of the seven colors: Laguna Bacalar, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Immersed in the jungle, away from the city noise and surrounded by paradisiacal views, freshwater, jungle and mangrove, it is home to many exotic and beautiful animals and vegetation.

DETAILS & FAQs

Retreating from daily habits

While you may certainly call or text your loved ones or share your experience on social media, we will be encouraging a digital detox as much as possible. Just a simple awareness of how we are using our phones and technology so we can spend more time connecting to ourselves and the natural world on this retreat. But we recognize this is YOUR retreat so you can choose what is best for you.

Please know that this retreat will be one free from substances, tobacco and alcohol. Although it’s lovely to have a glass of wine at the end of the night, we think this is the perfect opportunity to step out of our comfort zones and daily routines and into a true space of reconnecting to ourselves and how we truly feel naturally. If you have any concerns with this, please feel free to reach out to us. We are completely open books and would love to chat with you!

Wellness Services 

Akalki offers wellness services that can be booked during your retreat. The services include massage therapy, bodywork and facial treatments. These services are intended to enhance your experience during your nourishing week away.

FAQ’s

Is this retreat for women only or can men join in on the fun?

This retreat is for everyone! And the more the merrier. In the past, there have been people that come alone, with friends or couples that want to share the experience together. Everyone is welcome!

What should I bring?

We will be providing retreat participants with a suggested packing list via email as we get closer to our retreat. If you have specific questions about things to bring or leave behind, feel free to reach out.

How do I get to Akalki and will there be taxi coordination made for me?

It will likely be best and most cost-efficient to fly into Mexico City and take a flight from there to the Chetumal airport (or to book travel from the U.S. to Chetumal) where we will be providing transportation to and from on the first and last days of the retreat. Check in on Monday, November 2nd will be from 12:00 noon onward. Our retreat will officially begin at 5:00pm and we recommend you arrive to Akalki Holistic Center in Bacalar no later than 4:00pm so that you may get settled in before we share an opening circle. A free shuttle from Chetumal Airport will be provided around 2:45/3:00pm (based on suggested flight from Mexico City via VivaAerobus flight arriving at 2:10pm - exact shuttle timing will come closer to the retreat).

Check out on Saturday, November 7th will be at 12:00 noon. A free shuttle will be provided from Akalki in Bacalar to Chetumal Airport at 11am (based on suggested flight to Mexico City via VivaAerobus leaving Chetumal at 2:40pm) but you are welcome to stay until checkout time or leave earlier if your travel requires.

If your flights are outside of the free shuttle windows, you may take a taxi to and from Chetumal/Akalki Holistic Center for around $25USD one way (for up to 4 people). We are happy to arrange taxi carpools once we have everyone's flight info.

What are the deposits and payments like?

There is a $600 non-refundable deposit required to reserve your spot. Please note that all deposits and payments made to Brittany and Janine are non-refundable.
