Wellness Retreat
San Pancho, Mexico
March 28-April 3, 2026
Join us for this week-long immersion
into nature, community and transformational practices.
We are so excited to invite you to Mexico for this 4th year together!
Imagine a getaway that goes beyond the ordinary, a retreat that nourishes your mind, body, and spirit, and offers so much more than beautiful beaches and warm sun (but that, too!!)
More than a vacation, it’s a transformational experience.
Together, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, we’ll gather in a stunning eco-lodge nestled between lush jungle and the ocean’s edge. Here, we’ll give ourselves permission to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters. In this sacred natural setting, we’ll step into deeper balance, inner clarity, and whole-body wellness. We’ll return to a sense of presence within ourselves, supported by the land, the community, and the gentle rhythms of nature.
It is the perfect time to gently reset, replenish, and brighten your whole being.
This experience is designed to be grounding, playful, restorative, and immersed in nature. Enjoy all-level yoga, guided meditation, heart-centered practices, and other nourishing modalities that include the option to participate in a traditional Temazcal ceremony (sweat lodge). You’ll also have plenty of time for rest, adventure, exploration, and connection. Not to mention optional excursions, a local market and massage services!
We hope you will join us for this deeply rejuvenating and unforgettable journey.
Welcome to
Tailwind Jungle Lodge
Escape to the Pacific coastline of San Pancho, where lush jungle and wild beaches create the perfect backdrop to slow down and reconnect. Our retreat unfolds at Tailwind Jungle Lodge, an eco-friendly sanctuary designed for true rest and renewal.
Perched among the palms, the lodge’s bungalows and palapas blend comfort with a touch of adventure. Each day offers so much beyond our programming—beach time , jungle walks, ocean activities, peaceful hammock time, and more!
If you’re craving a reset, this retreat invites you to step away from the noise, tune into nature, and return home feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired.

Temazcal
The temazcal is one of the oldest ceremonies on this continent. It is a purification ceremony where we return to the origin of life. It takes place in a space that represents our mother's womb, to which we return to recover the memory of our being and all our relationships. Within this space, we become aware of our own life, purifying and strengthening ourselves with the heat and the medicine of the ancient stones and burnt water.
It is a guided ceremony where, through fire, water, air, earth, and the vibration of words and song, we experience the miracle of life.
The work is physical: we sweat, purify, and detoxify, while all our systems are strengthened.
Mentally, we practice quieting the mind, relaxing, and entering a deeper level of meditation. Emotionally, we open the door to healing from the root, allowing emotions to flow and freeing ourselves from all burdens. On a spiritual level, finding ourselves vulnerable in a safe space, where we can reconnect with the supreme being that dwells in everything.
Self Love & Connection
Imagine a life where you know, without a doubt, that you are deeply loved—where this love flows through you, not as a belief but as a living energy. What if you could experience this love within yourself and radiate it back into the world?
Awaken to that love through meditation, healing techniques, yoga, and movement that open your body and energy channels. As you release physical and emotional blockages, you will reconnect to the boundless love already within you.
In community, we’ll journey together toward deeper self-awareness, healing, and connection.
Self-love isn’t something we force, but something we feel and embody. Something we are. When we walk in self-love, we can allow it to transform not only our relationship with ourselves, but with others as well. Here, you’ll awaken to the truth of who you are and feel the love of the Universe, connecting you to yourself and the world in a profound, transformative way.
Come as you are.
This retreat invites you to dive deeply into spirituality and holistic healing, connecting with the universal love that flows through nature, life, and your own being.
Through mindful practices and reflection, you will experience the peace, gratitude, joy, and compassion that arise from this love—not as emotional or romantic love, but as the inherent force that connects us all. Here, you’ll discover that you are loved exactly as you are, and through this realization, healing and transformation unfold naturally.
