Return of the Light
January 16, 2027 - January 22, 2027
A winter gathering of embodied practices on the sacred land of the Maya.
As the darkest days of the year fall behind, Claudia and Veronica invite you to the jungle to clear the heaviness of winter and get ready for a new cycle. A week to connect within, with each other and with this land, and to let go of patterns that no longer serve you, while practices from different traditions help the body and mind relax, open and move freely as the light begins to rise again.
The practices
Yoga. Mysore-style Ashtanga every morning, then meditation and pranayama, with yin and restorative practice in the evenings. All levels are welcome.
Breathwork. An active breathing meditation, gentle but powerful, to release energy that feels stuck.
Circles. Conscious relating and self-inquiry: connecting through sharing and being witnessed.
Movement. Authentic, free movement, to inhabit the body more fully.
Honouring the land
Learning from the healing rituals of the Maya, the week includes a cacao ceremony in circle, a temazcal, an evening of kirtan and a visit to a local cenote. Holistic therapies, massage, sound healing and medicinal rituals with Pamela can be booked on site at an extra cost.
Your facilitators
Claudia has practised Ashtanga for nearly 25 years and has run a Mysore programme in Amsterdam for more than 15. Veronica has taught Ashtanga for over a decade and holds space through somatic, movement and ceremonial work in Vancouver.
Come for a deep week of practice, a quiet reset, or something in between. If you have a regular Mysore practice, this retreat is very much for you.
