Akumal Creativity + Connection Journey
April 25 - 30, 2026
Join us for this small group adventure to the "Place of the Turtles" on the magical Yucatan coast of Mexico. Our days together will be filled with creativity, connection, excursions, and nourishment! Replenish and enliven your senses while soaking in all that this retreat has to offer!
​
Akumal is a small town with beautiful white sand beaches, clear water, and a laid back vibe. Our villa is beachfront with a pool and provides close-by opportunities to swim/snorkel in the Yal-Ku Lagoon and walk along the beaches of Half Moon Bay. We will be venturing out to nearby locations to experience the culture and arts of the local community. Creative experiences and art making will be woven throughout the week - all projects will be connected to our excursions and environment. The sisterhood of connection will be strong as we enjoy sharing space and dynamic experiences together.
​
Our home base is a beautiful villa with gorgeous views. Imagine dunking in the pool while listening to the waves, eating local meals in the open-air, engaging in art and mindfulness practices in the expansive house, gathering on the roof-top at night to gaze at the stars. All of this mixed in with guided adventures and time to explore!
The Akumal Creativity + Connection Journey is limited in size to ensure an enriching and relaxed experience for all!
We hope you will join us!

Cost: $2,995 to $3995
what to expect //
Creativity | We are ALL creative beings (no need to be an artist), we will guide you into simple, reflective, joy-filled projects inspired by our environment, local artists and cultural excursions. Ground yourself working in clay, creating your own one-of-a-kind journal, and other creative projects. Only curiosity needed.
​
Adventure | Intentional experiences offer a chance to learn about ourselves, the culture and more. This journey incorporates experiences such as swimming in a fresh water cenote, exploring an architectural marvel deep in the mayan jungle, snorkeling in the magical waters of the Yal Ku Lagoon, visiting a local artist's studio, and more.
​
Culture | The Yucatan is rich with local culture. We take the time to honor the local culture and artistic expressions. We will explore a market, view local art and murals, learn about locally inspired meals, and more.
​
Mindfulness | A moment to slow, to pause, to reflect, to connect to your heart. Take a breath, and let that space rejuvenate you. Mindfulness opportunities will be sprinkled throughout our time together. Imagine a contemplative walk along the beach, gentle yoga overlooking the pool, simple meditations you can use throughout your day and journaling. No experience needed. These nourishing moments are simple and accessible to everyone.
Connection | We weave space to just relax and drop in throughout our journey. Connection to self and others is one of the most important aspects of our journeys. Walk on the beach, sit by the pool with a cold drink, get a massage, explore Akumal and/or Tulum, join others for a delicious meal, make food together, and just enjoy each other's company. No need to be an extrovert there is time for yourself as well as others.

Gather, create and get centered through a creative experience such as clay, journal creation, painting, sketching, etc.
