Details

An Opportunity to Anchor and Exhale in the Tropics Join Carolyn Anne Budgell for a holistic and nourishing 5-night retreat at La Joya Boutique Hotel and Retreat Centre, at the edge of the warm Pacific Ocean, near Sayulita, Mexico. Imagine a getaway filled with sunshine, saltwater, grounding breathwork, therapeutic movement, evening meditations, and reflective workshops to help you become more aligned with the life you want to live.

On a secluded beach, yet within walking distance from the bustling surf town of Sayulita. The property is all ours and the time will be fully devoted to helping you feel more anchored and more like you. Give yourself a reset both inside and out, and remember who you’re here to be.

Indulge your senses and delight in the flavours crafted by Nayarit’s own Chef Jorge Miramontes at La Joya's onsite restaurant - The Tekuamana. The Tekuamana menu is inspired by Mexican tradition and elevated by sourcing of organic, local and wild ingredients. The kitchen cooks without seed-oils, opting instead for ghee, avocado oil and rendered fat as well as incorporating house made lacto-fermented foods, sourdough bread and kombucha. The result is the most healthful and distinctive culinary experience in the area. The Tekuamana bar has brought together local experts to create a menu of designer cocktails, craft beers, natural and organic wines as well as exciting non-alcoholic options - all of which use the highest quality local ingredients to create unique, fresh and delicious taste experiences. Pair your food and drink with the best views of the coast, regular whale sightings and year-round sunsets, and prepare for a unique and unforgettable dining experience.

Schedule

Retreat Programming Spa Yoga Think mellow, slow flows, nervous system reset, long hip openers, and less effort.

Testimonials

You have a very special vibe about you. I am sure you know this and have been told many times. Your intentionality is so important in a world where we react to so many things, versus take a moment to respond. I especially noticed it when you were speaking to us during one of the workshops. I work with so many leaders in business and other areas who don’t have a fraction of your presence.

Really appreciate everything you did and said and brought and gave. Sincerely from my heart, THANK YOU for this life-changing experience!

Amanda, Canada

I hold much gratitude to you for the willingness to share your journey and hold space for others on the path. You are brave, and I admire that.

Erin, USA

I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for such an amazing experience at your retreat. It was so well planned! So full of experiences and important time for myself to reflect, unwind and decompress from what has been one of the most challenging years of my life. Your retreat reminded me to not forget to put myself first so that I can remain strong not just emotionally but physically. You are very good at what you do! Not everyone in life finds their calling. You certainly have. Thank you for an unforgettable experience Carolyn.
