Surf + Medicine: Holistic Healing Women’s Retreat
The INTENTION
Take a week off from your busy life and travel to Mexico with me, immersing yourself in a week-long holistic healing retreat like you have never experienced before.
This retreat was created to offer a safe space for women to retreat & take time for themselves. To allow their body, mind and soul to replenish, heal, and play in the ocean waves. The intention of this retreat is to weave ancestral Mexican medicine practices & eco therapy through the collaboration of local healers, surf instructors & the wisdom of Irene. I have crafted a very intentional holistic healing retreat for you to experience transformation and shifting into your own awareness towards a new relationship with yourself through community, wellness & nature.
The EXPERIENCE
Offerings will include a variety of transformational embodiment practices like: meditation, chi kung, breathwork, dance, sound healing, ceremony, and surfing. Exploring your inner Self through these practices will ignite the light within you, and build confidence in who you are. You will be able to surf through your internal landscape with ease & empowerment, and the goal is to be able to bring this new embodiment into your everyday life!
Our environment, nature, and its elements are our most influential teachers, a connection point to ourselves and others. It can teach us simplicity, flow, how to work in harmony, and co-creation with everything that is alive. It acts as a bridge to embody ourselves as being of this earth.
Surfing is a practice of surrendering and patience. Playing in the waves brings us back to our child-like nature of playfulness.
The ocean is very healing; just floating out on its body can transport you into a state of deep relaxation.
This retreat offers the perfect blend of time in nature, moving fluidly, dancing, laughing, or simply sitting still in silence. Individually these are powerful healing therapies - when combined they are exponential.
There will be lots of free time for Self, reading a book, walking on the beach and healing therapies. This is your retreat and I invite you to listen to what your intuition & wisdom is asking for. Many of us have lost that connection and my wish is to reawaken it within you.
This retreat is designed to be a la carte (bespoke) so that you can sense what resonates for you when choosing an activity and to allow spontaneity & flow to be part of your journey.
Let yourself be guided into an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.
The LOCATION
Casa Tortuga, our healing sanctuary for the week, is a brand new luxury beachfront Villa on the shores of Playa la Saladita, steps away from world-class surfing. The Villa includes two houses: The main house & The Casita.
The Villa was designed so that every room has a view of the ocean and local surf break. Luxury linens, comfortable king-size beds, air conditioning, and hot water make this home unique to the area. The property also offers spacious outdoor living and dining areas under a huge palapa providing plenty of shade.
The entire property is surrounded by soft green grass for us to do our morning movement practices & evening healing workshops. The fully equipped kitchen is designed so that we can prepare your meals while watching the waves break in front of the house or the sunset over the horizon. The large, lighted infinity pool is perfect for swimming or floating. The rooftop terrace provides a 360-degree view of the ocean and mountains.
Casa Tortuga's beautifully landscaped grounds, gentle ocean breezes, shaded lounging and dining areas, and many private spaces, provide the perfect place to escape and relax.
The Main House: has 3 large bedrooms, 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs, all with king-size beds, private baths, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and hot water. The living room has a private full bath and two sofas that can accommodate up to 2 additional guests (for extra per person fee). Upstairs bedrooms each have a private, shaded wrap-around terrace with comfortable seating. Each room has 2 sliding walls that open to full views of the ocean to let in the warm tropical breeze, allowing you to fully experience the natural beauty that Playa la Saladita has to offer.
The Casita: is a stand-alone unit that is equipped with a king-size bed, large sofa, private bath with indoor/outdoor shower, fully stocked kitchen, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and hot water. The floor to ceiling sliding doors and large windows provide incredible ocean views.

These sessions are designed to help you integrate your experience in the water while surfing. Nature is our greatest teacher and when we put ourselves in challenging new experiences like surfing, we have the opportunity to extract so many gifts & lessons, sometimes after a big experience we forget to integrate, and for me integration is a must in all types of experiences to be able to learn, grow & implement the lesson moving forward in life.

This photo shoot is designed to empower you, to honor your unique beauty & to have images for you to take home that can anchor you into your power.

Lunar New Year Mini-Retreat

End of the Year Integration
A Signature Workshop with Irene Sanchez-Celis
An immersive half day workshop designed to commemorate & integrate the wisdom gained from 2023 to move forward with clarity & guidance.
As we heal ourselves we heal the collective.
As 2023 comes closer to an end, I find myself recapitulating my year. I believe it's incredibly beneficial to take inventory of everything that has manifested: all the challenges, all the lessons and all the blessings.
Oftentimes, we can find ourselves going through the motions, frustrated that we are not fully stepping into the version of ourselves that we know we are. This is why 'following the breadcrumbs' is so impactful. This workshop will create an intentional space for you to celebrate yourself and your triumphs, no matter how big or small, and extract potent wisdom from the year's tribulations as a sacred and safe community.
We will sit intentionally in ceremony with a gentle yet effective micro-dose and cacao to assist us in finding clarity in the fog and source reverence from our experiences in 2023.
We will then move into embodiment practices of chi kung and meditation to move blockages in the resonance of body + mind + soul as we connect back to our True Nature, which is where homeostasis is experienced. We will also get to play and enjoy ourselves!
The final component of the workshop will be to integrate what came through in journalling and a sharing circle.
Ignite Your Winter Flame
with Irene Sanchez-Celis & Dion Olin
An immersive weekend intentionally co-created to ignite your inner fire, collectively contributing to the illumination of where your authentic power lies in the shadows.
AS WE HEAL OURSELVES, WE HEAL THE COLLECTIVE.
We are collectively moving through heavy and dark times, making it vital to anchor in practices of light and gather in community to transmute and transform.
Our offering during this retreat is to move you through embodiment practices that will help release stagnations in the body (nervous system regulation), purify your energetic meridians (homeostasis), open up your natural flow (activate) and ignite your kundalini (authentic power).
Holistic TCM practitioner Irene Sanchez Celis offers the medicine of Chi Kung to cultivate energy, clarity & awareness & to spark Kundalini, as well, she offers the ancestral plant medicine of cacao to expand our heart's field.
Wellness practitioner Lex invites us to bathe in the healing frequencies of sound, evoking coherence in mind + body + soul to embody our integral life's purpose.
Dion Olin, Earth Keeper & Steward of The Heart's Garden, welcomes us into her healing sanctuary where we will gather for this potent weekend.
As we move closer to Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, this is an invitation for us to go within and source our inner light.

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
I promise you this journey will be cathartic, deep & transformational.
I can’t tell you exactly what the other side of this container will look like for you because each woman is unique & special in her way.
And this is also the beauty of partnering with the mystery, with the feminine. There is so much possibilities in the void, that we can't even fathom to know all the outcomes, this is where we practice surrender and trust.
Trust that Source is conspiring with us, that when we aim our arrow of intention into the universe, co-creation happens, it just does!
What I can promise you is that you will be a different woman, this is a before & after type of journey.
You will be more of you, embodied in your purpose & connected to the mysteries of life, all I ask is you step in with a full heart, with a full YES to you, to me, to your fellow sisters and to the mystery!! AHO 💫
"Irene is a unicorn you didn’t know you needed in your life!
She creates a safe space for you to heal, I never thought I would talk to my womb to prepare to let it go, punch a pillow to work through my anger or visualize the earth filling me up with golden light to replenish my soul." - Nicole
Surf Your Inner Space
Surf & Wellness Retreat with Marie-Soleil, Irene Sanchez-Celis & Colibri Jimenez
La Saladita Guerrero, Mexico
THE INTENTION
This retreat was created to offer a safe space for women to retreat & take time for themselves. To allow their body, mind and soul to replenish, heal, and play in the ocean waves. Marie Soleil & Irene have made a connection with many local Mexicans who practice ancestral teaching & teach surfing. They have experienced their benefits on many levels. Their wish is to offer these practices for other women to experience themselves at a deeper level. You will experience transformation and shifting into your own awareness towards a new relationship with yourself through community, wellness & time spent in nature.
Offerings will include a variety of transformational embodiment practices like: meditation, chi kung, breathwork, yoga, dance, sound healing, ceremony and surfing. Exploring your inner space through these practices will enliven the light within you, and build confidence in who you are. You will be able to surf through your internal landscape with ease & empowerment, and the goal is to be able to bring this new embodiment into your everyday life.
Surfing is a practice of surrendering and patience. Playing in the waves brings us back to our child-like nature of playfulness. Combine with the healing properties of mother Ocean.
We have designed the retreat as a la carte (bespoke) so that you can sense what resonates for you when choosing an activity and to allow spontaneity & flow to be part of your journey. This is your retreat and we invite you to listen to what your intuition & wisdom is asking for. Many of us have lost that connection and my wish is to reawaken it within you.
Women's Solstice Healing Retreat
with Marie-Soleil, Cristina & Irene
“Nature is one of the most influential teachers. It teaches us simplicity, flow, how to work in co-creating and a bridge to embody ourselves. It is a connection point to ourselves and others.”
A JOURNEY TOWARDS RESOURCING
5 day soul nourishing retreat on Gambier Island
Come & immerse yourself in nature to nurture your body, mind, heart, soul. Be guided by loving earth medicine women to help you reconnect with your inner resources, your inner wisdom & get filled up by the connection of other women in a sacred space. When out of coherence, we feel disconnected from our purpose, from our joy & from Spirit.
There is a part of us that has the knowledge. The deep knowingness on how to replenish, how to reconnect, how to tap into our intuition, magic, and purpose. It takes time & practice to go within, and sometimes we need to take ourselves out of our normal environment to reconnect with our inner wisdom. Time spent in Nature, receiving the teachings and healing of ancient wisdom can be very powerful and nurturing; a path towards resourcing.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
By reconnecting with nature we reconnect with ourselves. By recognizing the abundant energy of the earth, we recognize our own inner abundance.
This retreat is for you if:
You are feeling burned out and are craving nature time to replenish.
You are a seeker of the sacred.
You believe in the healing powers of nature.
You are seeking to connect with other like minded women.
You want to disconnect to connect!
