Thank you for your interest in joining the four-night / five-day journey inward alongside other women of diverse backgrounds, disciplines, ages and stages in the great outdoor playground of coastal Oaxaca, Mexico.
REWILD YOUR LIFE retreat is inspired by the untamed nature and vibrant energy of the region, and stepping into the raw and vulnerable space of discovery and exploration together. While there is a basic foundation to the daily timeline, we’ll be flowing with the container and the subtle shifts that present themselves whenever we step into co-creation.
The following experiences and workshops will be included in the retreat:
- Daily yoga and mindful meditation
- Breathwork and conscious communication exercises
- Emotional freedom technique (EFT) tapping and body code kineseology workshops
- Somatic embodiment and movement exploration workshops
- Eco reserve lagoon and mangrove sustainability tour
- Dolphin experience boat tour
- Explorations of towns San Agustinillo and Mazunte
- Cacao ceremony and ecstatic dance
- Burn release ceremony
- Temazcal sweat lodge
- Healthy and nourishing meals (daily breakfast and three dinners)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
What is the minimum age to participate in the MEXICO YOGA RETREAT?
For now, the retreat age is 21 years and older. We may introduce other retreats in the future to include the young adult or teen/tween Wild Woman in your life to share the transformative outdoor experience!
What sort of precautions will exist in response to COVID-19?
The safety, health and comfort of all participants is of utmost importance — we carefully consider the advice of statewide and national health agencies regarding responses to COVID-19. We will not be implementing mandatory vaccines or mask wearing, however do support participants following their own health precautions that align with their individual needs and comfort levels. “You do you” is the unofficial motto and non-judgement/shame of others’ preferences will be our camp ethics.
What if I don’t have a buddy to attend the retreat with?
Rest assured, that is part of the adventure. While some women attend Wild Women Tribe excursions with a friend, the majority are drawn SOLO to the chance to meet new women who enjoy outdoor pursuits, self development and overcoming challenges. Stepping into unknown territory and newness is part of the magical Wild Women Tribe formula — you will be in great hands and feel accomplished that you conquered your fears in the process! You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how quickly you form bonds of friendship and solidarity with a tribe of newfound, kickass women.
What makes Oaxaca unique?
Oaxaca is the country’s fifth largest state found in southwestern Mexico, and is best known for its indigenous peoples and cultures. The most numerous and best known are the Zapotecs and the Mixtecs, but there are 16 that are officially recognized. These cultures have survived better than most others in Mexico due to the state’s rugged and isolating terrain. Oaxaca is also considered to be a spiritual hub by many people in transformational communities.
Oaxaca is also one of the most biologically diverse states in Mexico for numbers of reptiles, amphibians, mammals and plants. This state boasts the most biodiversity with more than 8,400 registered plant species, 738 bird species and 1,431 terrestrial vertebrate species, accounting for 50 percent of all species in Mexico. It is also among the five highest-ranking areas in the world for endangered species. During the retreat, we’ll be embarking upon a guided dolphin boat tour on the open ocean and also an ecotourism mangrove lagoon tour — so we’ll see both lagoon and ocean species up close!
How do I get to Mazunte, Oaxaca?
Mazunte is a small, vibrant town found along Oaxaca’s Pacific Coast. The closest airports are Puerto Escondido (PXM) about an 1.5 hour (40 miles) to the northwest and Huatulco International Airport (HUX) about an hour (30 miles) northeast.
There are many flights from main U.S. airports on major airlines (Delta, Mexicana, United) to Mexico City, and connections to either airport in under two hours. We can put you in contact with other women flying into either airport if you’d like to share transfer costs!
Plan on arriving at 4 pm on Wed. Jan. 11 at Carpe Diem Casitas & Villas in Mazunte, and checking out by 12 pm on Sun. Jan. 15. Ask about early arrival and delayed departure to arrange for extra nights at the B&B.
What should I bring?
Mexico tropical beach adventures are all about staying hydrated and protected against the heat and sun. Light, quick-dry fabrics, sun protection, and bathing suits all the way! We’ll send a full packing list to assist you, but plan on bringing your own day pack with large refillable water bottle with Camelbak hydration pack, headlamp, sun hat, sunglasses, flip flops, hiking shoes, and a wrap or sarong in addition to active wear to enjoy a few days in the Mexican beach climate. Please invest in a good folding and/or compact travel yoga mat. Weather in January should be pleasant and warm — expect low 60s at night and upper 80s during the day. You will receive a full packing list a week prior to the retreat.
What is the retreat HQ / home base like, and what are the accommodations?
We have a private villa at the beautiful Carpe Diem Casitas & Villas — with additional add on rooms to accommodate our shifting group size — in the beach town of Mazunte along the Pacific Coast in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. We have a private kitchen where we’ll be eating our meals in a communal setting. The retreat space also includes a pool and deck, dining room and several casitas have covered terraces with hammocks for chilling and relaxing. There are three rooms with king beds and Queen folding beds in each (all of which can accommodate triple occupancy for $100 OFF if you’re traveling together and don’t mind sharing a bed). Unless you specify a person, you’ll be paired with a roomie.
Is there cell phone reception and electricity?
Yes, there is WiFi at Carpe Diem Casitas & Villas — if you’ve come on a camping retreat, you know this is a treat! For the sake of our retreat container and ensuring we are all present, we encourage airplane mode or limited texting / social media during retreat program hours. We can still “pretend” we’re out of cell service so that we can experiment with the concept of technology “white out” zones – periods without any screen time – so that we disconnect to reconnect. Please check with your mobile service provider about international texting, data and calling plans within Mexico.
How will the meals accommodate dietary restrictions?
The majority of the meals will be gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian (with some meat or animal protein the side as add-ons). We take into consideration healthy, nourishing and balanced nutrition meals that will sustain us through our adventuring. The retreat fee includes four breakfasts, three lunches, and three dinners. One lunch and one dinner will be offsite in town, and not covered by the retreat fee.
What if I’m drawn to some of the activities, and want to opt out of others?
None of the activities is mandatory! They are a framework for which you are invited to step in. If you want to opt out of a hike and sit by the river (it’s truly a gorgeous setting with the red rock surrounding the house) or catch some extra zzzzz’s instead of sunrise yoga……please girl! Be our guest. YOU DO YOU. You are encouraged and invited to listen to that small, still voice within and honor her wishes and inclinations. Zero judgement, shaming or expectations. Please DO tell someone on a hike or excursion if you plan on leaving early or spending some extra time: safety is crucial so we are all accounted for.
What else do I need to know before I travel?
We want to ensure all the bases of safety are covered, so we are requiring that all retreat participants carry international travel medical insurance as a precaution. There are many different agencies you can consult for coverage, including World Nomads (for as little as $70) and Aardy for a comparative quote of several providers. Do your research and find a policy that you’re comfortable with — we’ll ask that you submit it via email before your departure.
What is the cancellation policy?
Wild Women Tribe has a 48-hour cancellation policy. The retreat has a $350 non-refundable deposit to hold your spot. If the retreat is full and the spot can be filled with someone from the waitlist, you will receive a full credit towards another retreat or WANDER, otherwise will be charged 50 percent of the rate (the other 50 percent will be issued in the form of a credit to a future WANDER). Rebookings from credit must occur within 30 days. Full terms and conditions here.
