For four days, we step away from the noise. Sixteen people, gathered in a private villa in Tulum, surrounded by palms, still water, and space to finally exhale.
You've built a life that works on paper. You show up for your work, your people, your responsibilities.
But underneath it, you're tired in a way that rest alone hasn't fixed.
This is for you if:
Mornings that begin slowly.
Afternoons with spaciousness, therapeutic processing, and community — in conversation or in solitude.
Evenings shared over dinner and connection, where conversations go deeper than they do at home.
Expert guidance, facilitated by mental health professionals with over 10 years of experience.
Everything is intentional. Nothing is rushed.
Alyssa is a therapist, award-winning author, executive coach, and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree working at the intersection of tech and mental health. As Founder and CEO of MyWellbeing, she and her team have supported more than 30 million people through mental health care — and she brings that same depth of clinical skill and human warmth into the retreat container.
Ilaria is a Clinical Psychologist from Rome, now based in New York, with eight years of experience guiding deep inner work through Integrative Breathing, Holotropic methodology, and depth psychology. She has worked with 500+ leaders, founders, and seekers across retreats and 1:1 sessions worldwide, supporting healing from stored trauma, generational patterns, and disconnection. Her sessions are grounded in science, held with care, and designed for real breakthroughs.
Jenny is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with deep experience supporting individuals through life transitions, anxiety, and the complexities of everyday life. Her work is human-centered and rooted in the belief that meaningful change begins with creating the right conditions — where there is room to pause, reflect, and reconnect. She brings a calm, grounded presence and a thoughtful perspective built across nonprofit settings, clinical leadership, and her own private practice.
The villa is secluded, intentional, and beautiful in the most intentional way.
Private plunge pools in every room. Long tables built for the kind of dinner where no one reaches for their phone. Bedrooms designed for true rest.
This is the environment that makes the inner work and lasting transformation possible.
* One master suite is available. Additional details will be shared with those who express interest in this room through their application.
Payment plan: 25% deposit on acceptance secures your seat · 50% balance due September 9, 2026 · final 25% due October 9, 2026. Full refund available through July 6, 2026; after that, payments are non-refundable in line with our venue's cancellation policy. Transfer to a friend is welcome.
We cap this retreat at sixteen and we curate the group on purpose. Group cohesion is the quiet engine of the work, which is why this is an application, not a checkout button.
Please share with our team what drew you here, what you're carrying, and anything we should know about your health or current life so that we can ensure we will hold you well. About fifteen minutes.
When fit is confirmed, you'll receive an acceptance email with a secure link to reserve your spot with a 25% deposit. Your place is held for you once your deposit is complete.
In the months leading up to November, you'll receive thoughtful pre-retreat prompts, support, and invitations to optional gatherings — spaces to meet one another, begin the work gently, and arrive already feeling connected.
Please share what drew you here and what you're carrying. There are no right answers — we're simply getting to know you so we can hold you well.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. You'll hear from us within a few days.
Your application is in — thank you.
We review applications on a rolling basis and will be in touch within a few days. We're glad you're here.
If something's coming up as you read — about the format, the group, what to expect — you're welcome to send it our way. We read everything.
This retreat is led by three highly experienced therapists and breathwork facilitators. We each bring years of clinical training and hands-on experience supporting individuals through anxiety, burnout, trauma, and major life transitions. Alongside that, we're trained in breathwork and somatic practices that support nervous system regulation and deeper integration. You'll be held by a team that knows how to create both safety and meaningful depth — so the experience feels supportive, grounded, and genuinely impactful.
People who are carrying a lot — professionally, emotionally, or both — and who sense they need a structured pause with a small, safe group. You don't have to be in crisis. You don't have to have a meditation practice. You do need to be willing to slow down, be witnessed, and be open to meaningful change.
This retreat is not a good fit for active mental-health crises, acute trauma processing, or substance-use recovery. If you are experiencing one of those chapters, we encourage you to contact your personal trusted clinician first for immediate next steps and we'd love to see your application for a future cohort.
Three nights of lodging at the villa, all meals prepared by a private chef (thoughtful of dietary needs), airport transfer from Cancun or Tulum, all programming — breathwork, workshops, circle work, and more — plus all materials and a closing gift. Not included: your flight to Mexico, travel insurance, or any private add-ons.
Most participants share a beautifully appointed room with one other participant — we match roommates thoughtfully based on application responses. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom and private plunge pool. Solo rooms are available, offered first to those for whom solitude is medically or personally necessary.
25% deposit on acceptance, 50% due September 9, 2026, final 25% due October 9, 2026. We can also process the full amount at deposit if you prefer. All prices are in USD.
Full refund through July 6, 2026. After that, payments are non-refundable because our venue operates on the same timeline, though you're welcome to transfer your seat to a friend with our approval.
Fly into Cancun International (CUN) or Tulum International (TQO). TQO is closer — about 40 minutes. CUN is about two hours. We coordinate group shuttles from both airports at scheduled times and will share details after acceptance.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and the cohort is capped at sixteen. We expect to close applications when we fill — typically two to three months ahead of the retreat.
