San Miguel de Allende
What we will explore on this journey, and the themes we will deepen on together.
The Journey We'll Take Together
This is an invitation to slow down, look inward, and remember what wellness actually feels like. Over the course of this retreat, we'll draw on the world's great wisdom traditions, the healing arts of Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, and the growing body of modern science on health and vitality — weaving them into a single, embodied experience.
We'll ask big questions together, and give you tools to keep living the answers long after you leave San Miguel de Allende.
The Meaning of Health and Wellness
What does it truly mean to be well? We'll begin here — exploring wholeness not as the absence of illness, but as a state of alignment between body, mind, and spirit.
Perspectives on Pain and the Nature of Suffering
How have the great religions and wisdom traditions of the world understood pain and suffering — and what remedies and perspectives do they each offer? We'll journey through:
- Zen Buddhism — mindfulness, meditation, and the path to peace
- Yogic philosophy — practice and the science of freedom
- Daoist principles — practices for unlocking unlimited energy and healing
- Baha'i perspectives — why we suffer, and remedies for healing mind, body, and soul
- Tantric philosophy — teachings on pain and practices for deep healing
Practices and Exercises for Vitality
Hands-on tools and practices to cultivate and increase your health and life-force energy - known as Qi or Prana. We will hold regular sessions of Tai Ji, Qi Gong and yoga as central tools not only for physical health and vitality but as practices to heighten awareness and bring about altered states of consciousness.
The Role of Prayer and Meditation
How contemplative practice — prayer, meditation, and stillness — shapes our health, and how to bring it into daily life.
What You Wil Take Away:
- Practices to increase physical, emotional, and mental vitality and resiliency
- A deeper appreciation and awareness of the knowledge you already hold within you
