IT’S TIME TO NURTURE YOUR SOUL
TULUM, MEXICO
POSTPONED TBD….
We don't have time to indulge in the luxury of feeling. All too often, we feel too exhausted and overwhelmed to soften into the wisdom of our soul. So we adorn masks, preform roles and take care of our responsibilities.
What if your only responsibility was to show up and be taken care of, in a beachfront luxury villa with pool, rooftop jacuzzi, private chef- 5 days designed for you to be you?
Through the medicine of movement, meditation, writing, breathwork, local ceremony, spa services, cenotes, ruins and personal time - you will thread ancient wisdom and modern science to nurture and reveal your true radiance.
ABOUT YOUR HOSTS
Yael and Alysa met at a dinner party in Venice back in 2015, and just clicked. A few months later, they ventured to a retreat in Costa Rica together and felt the magic. Their friendship has deepened into a level of sisterhood, through holding space in the dark, trusting they always have each other’s back and celebrating so many wins. Although their daily lives differ in demands, their bond weaves along the same path of devoted spiritual practice.
Rooted in faith and love, with decades of experience facilitating retreats Yael and Alysa are overjoyed to share their enthusiasm, wisdom and sincere kindness with you!
Yael Aylsworth
“I’ve spent the last decade devoting myself to health/wellness, healing from within, and deep diving into the inner landscape of my heart. During this process, I’ve birthed and am raising two beautiful boys that continue to be my greatest teachers. Certified in dance, feng shui, yoga, ayurveda and sound healing, I’ve come to realize the best gift we can give ourselves on this journey is the gift of permission - permission to “be”, and to receive. When I have given myself permission to feel and follow my heart’s truth, more joy and freedom builds within me - it lights me up :)
This is my passion - a permission joy ride to give and connect to the beautiful souls I am so fortunate to BE with.”
Alysa Osvog
"I believe the physical practices of yoga, meditation and writing help us see the unseen- threading our mental, emotional and spiritual work into reality.
Certified yoga therapist and gateless writing coach, I love seeing the lights come back on in someone's eyes- when they connect with raw, real, awe and wonder.”
“Retreats create a safe space for us to relax and receive honest nudges of inspiration, leading us back to what really matters, what sparks our soul!”

03. Temezcal Ceremony
Sacred ritual with deep spiritual roots in Mayan culture. Led by local shaman through prayers as the steam heats sacred herbs, such as copal and sage, are burned to purify the space, creating an atmosphere conducive to introspection and healing. As the fragrance permeates the air, the room becomes alive with a mystical energy.
The centerpiece of the Temezcal ceremony is the volcanic rocks that are heated until they glow red. These rocks are known as "abuelitas" or "grandmothers." They symbolize the wisdom and strength of the Earth, inviting participants to release their burdens and embrace transformation.

Heralded as a sanctuary of solitude, reflection, and rejuvenation, retreats offer a unique opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse oneself in a tranquil and nurturing environment. Engaging in a retreat can have a myriad of benefits, both for our mental and physical well-being. Let's explore some of the remarkable advantages that a retreat can provide.
1. Replenishing Our Inner Reserves: Retreats provide us with the invaluable chance to recharge our batteries. By withdrawing from our regular routines and responsibilities, we grant ourselves the much-needed time and space to replenish our energy and restore our sense of vitality.
2. Gaining Clarity and Perspective: Stepping away from our daily obligations allows us to gain much-needed clarity and perspective. By detaching ourselves from the daily noise and distractions, we can turn our focus inward, reconnect with ourselves, and gain fresh insights into our lives.
3. Nurturing Personal Growth: Retreats offer a fertile ground for personal growth and self-improvement. Surrounded by like-minded individuals and coached by experts in their fields, we can engage in workshops, learn new skills, and expand our horizons. This growth-oriented environment encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and unlocks the potential for transformative change.
4. Cultivating Mindfulness and Well-being: Integrating mindfulness practices into a retreat allows us to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, inner peace, and emotional well-being. Away from the constant demands and distractions of our daily lives, we can fully immerse ourselves These practices enable us to observe our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations with non-judgmental acceptance.
