Woman Poetry Retreat: June 2017

Woman Poetry Retreat

June 16 - 20, 2017

at Pachamama Yoga Retreat Center

in Todos Santos, Baja Mexico

You are invited to experience a yoga retreat like no other. 

But, before we go any further . . . forget calling it a yoga retreat -- it's a life change. It's that pause you are so desperately craving. It's a wild uprooting of your soul. It's a conscious abandonment of all people and all things that deplete you. It's a rediscovering of the beautiful, magical woman that you are before the world told you otherwise. 

You were meant to touch the stars, to reach for the moon. To fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing in the Mexican desert without a care in the world. 

Join a tribe of women who are ready to reclaim their brilliance and shine bright once again. Find the call of your wild and untamed heart. Adventure past your comfort zone and experience freedom in your mind, body and soul. 

Meet Your Hosts

Mandy Burstein -- Having grown up all around the world, Mandy blends her love of travel and adventure to create amazing, unforgettable yoga retreats.

Jade Alectra -- After finding yoga in her darkest of hours, Jade realized the healing powers of the practice and became a certified yoga instructor. A passionate runner and all-around talented athlete, Jade teaches a unique, dynamic physical asana practice. She challenges her students to go to their edge, helping them find a deeper sense of self-love and self-respect.

• I am new to yoga. Am I ready for a retreat? Yes! You deserve a break from life! Look at a yoga retreat as a much-needed vacation for your mind, body, and soul. We love working with yoga beginners and introducing them to this powerful, life-changing practice. All of our retreats are always lovingly open to all levels of yoga ability and life experience. Come as you are. We will grow together.
• Is Mexico safe? Yes. Absolutely. We only work with venues and local vendors that have been thoroughly vetted. Todos Santos is a charming small Mexican village, and Pachamama Retreat Center is on private, secure property.
• Who will my roommate be? We carefully, consciously pair you with another woman that we think will be the best fit for you. We have organized over 15 retreats between us and have become pretty damn good at roommate pairing. Solo travelers, have no fear! We have a knack for linking up people who end up as life long friends. If you and your bestie are traveling together on this retreat, just be sure to send Mandy a message and let her know that you want to room together. Either way, we got you covered!
• What should I expect? In a nutshell . . .  laughter, long hugs, life-affirming moments. Conversations that will shake you to your core and remind you of your purpose. New sisters. Connections with nature and spirit that will open new portals of love in your heart. An opportunity to find your voice and speak your truth. Yoga. Tacos. Sunshine.
