After pausing our retreat in 2021 due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, it felt so joyous and soul-filling to be able to do what we love again - host women at our little slice of heaven in Mexico. We would argue to say this may have been our best retreat yet!
A new year, a new group of women, a new world. We come together as strangers, let our guards down, and connected our souls with the ebb and flow of the ocean, celebrating life and being able to finally be on retreat after 2 years in lockdown.
This was our third year hosting Buena Vida Retreat, with a new group of women who started as strangers and left with a deeper connection to themselves, each other, the local community, and the natural world. So much changed within ourselves and in the world in these 8 long days. Every single woman was able to surf, whether it was their first time or not, and everyone stood up and enjoyed their time in the ocean together! We also celebrated and explored all of the new local restaurants that our favorite little community built over the past few years. As we packed up to return to our lives with a new sense of self and so many new strong friendships ready for the next chapter.
We’ll never forget this year’s retreat and hope that healing comes to all. Here are some moments from the 2022 retreat, we hope to see you next year. <3
“Everything about the retreat was on point. The amazing meals, the perfect waves, the stunning villa, the many different types of yoga, and of course, the incredible women it brought together. The Buena Vida Retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. ”
“Looking back, this experience feels surreal. The beauty of this trip was the not only the backdrop of which it was had, but the energy and intentions that went into creating it. Lisa and Emily are pure gold! Their easy-going, yet attentive presence allowed for this experience to feel both effortless and extraordinarily crafted. Five stars all the way.”
“Cheers to another epic retreat! This was one of our best retreats yet — our crew was top notch, and one of the things I loved most were our morning group paddle-outs. Everyone was having fun in the ocean, cheering each other on, and getting better at surfing. This retreat left me feeling so stoked to continue hosting these retreats forever!”
