BEFORE + AFTER RETREAT
As a reminder, any additional time you choose to book before or after the retreat dates (January 18 – 25, 2025) is at your own expense, and not included in the retreat cost.
We strongly recommend arriving at least one day before the retreat begins and staying a few extra days afterward, in a place of your choosing, to fully integrate your retreat experience. Many past guests have shared that they wish they had taken more time to decompress. You deserve the extra time to unwind and enjoy all that Mexico has to offer. We’ve found that this downtime allows you to return to your life more grounded and ready for lasting change.
Of course, we understand you may have commitments back home, and we honor whatever choice you make.
For those extending their stay, we’ve provided a list of suggested hotels in our Retreat Facebook group, which you can join here. The list is located in the Files Section, titled ‘PV pre:post retreat’ in the private facebook group. Accommodations options listed are based on recommendations from past guests. We do not specifically endorse any of these options and cannot be held responsible for your experience at these locations.
