DAY 1

DEEPEN

If you’ve yet to learn Vedic or Transcendental Meditation, you will experience comprehensive meditation training with Bliss More and Knowing Where to Look author and international meditation teacher, Light Watkins, in this beautiful environment, away from everyday life.

Or, if you already practice either of those techniques, you will be taught “Rounding," which is an advanced meditation technique that will renew and elevate your practice to another level. 

Each participant will be given a tailored transformational program that will have you coming away feeling deeply refreshed, energized, and inspired. 


All of the practices you learn on the retreat are designed for easy home use as well. 

To help you unwind further, we’ll have daily vinyasa and yin yoga classes that will enhance your experience, opening body and mind.

THE VENUE

Wellness Resort & Yoga Retreat Center

The Retreat Center is nestled between the tropical jungle and the pristine sandy beach of Chacala, Mexico. It sits on the shores of Playa Chacala, a small Mexican fishing village with plenty of charm that still retains a traditional way of life. The town and surrounding areas have much to offer; from jungle hikes, surfing, whale watching, boating, and ancient petroglyphs, to the simple pleasure of playing on the soft sand and swimming in the year-round warm ocean waters.
