WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
Two years ago, I hopped a plane to the other side of the world. I had no idea that this solo adventure was going to change my life the way it did.
-T. H.
Not only did you create an outstanding retreat agenda but, you welcomed us with open arms and was willing to give us a slice of your paradise.
-D.L.
This retreat, for me, was the beginning of a new chapter. I knew which direction I should be heading but I was too afraid to take the leap. Committing to the retreat was a step further on my path. During this retreat, you women pushed me a little closer to the edge; giving me courage to move forward. We had such a unique set of people come together and like you said, share this bond as sisters, as friends, and as advocates and support for one another and I know now that I DO DESERVE IT. The SOLshine retreat was the perfect reminder of this and it allowed me to come home into my body, my soul, and to give myself a hug of reassurance that I too deserve the highest good. I'm feeling compassion for myself, for the child in me, and for me in the future.
Thank you again for what you do, for listening to the calling to heal. The world is better with people like you in it.
-S. K.
The most amazing things have unfolded this week! Stephanie Whitford has combined healing practices, breath of love, and asana classes. On the side there has been humor and adventure that has added a touch of color and spice. I slowed down enough to be able to observe deep patterns within. I have been able to get a clear shot of the healing process. The magic of getting out of the mind-set of the “fix” has surfaced for me. Curing is eliminating all disease while healing is becoming whole.
-L.M.
This retreat won my heart. I was treated like a queen when I arrived. Stephanie Whitford is so sweet. I was stripped of all my fear, sadness and negative feels. I can feel the healing on a physical level, mixed with my spirit/emotions and it’s like someone has taken a windshield wiper to clear my eyes.
-S.S.
Amazing women on an epic adventure! New friendships being formed and friendships deepened. I'm being blessed being surrounded by and learning from these strong heart centered women. Thank you for being part of my journey!
-L.D.
It was absolutely amazing. I'm glad I decided to embark upon this journey as a representation of closing the chapter of the last 50 years and to step into the next 50 + years a renewed woman, creating my life from a more conscious and awake place.
Learn to love and take care of yourself so as to give from an overflowing cup!
-T. I.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE experience to watch the sunrise here. This trip has been healing on more levels than I could have imagined or hoped for!

GETTING TO HUATULCO
Flights. Airports & Transportation
You will likely have a stop at the Mexico City airport before taking a short 1-hour flight to Huatulco (HUX-Bahias de Huatulco International Airport). Upon arrival in Mexico City, you will clear customs and head to your gate to Huatulco. If your luggage is checked all the way through to Huatulco, you will collect it there, otherwise you will collect it at the Mexico City airport and re-check it in before heading to Huatulco. The retreat location is a short 20-minute drive from the airport. Cabs are very reasonable and a ride to the retreat should not cost you more than $600 pesos. You can find cabs right out the doors of the airport. We will have a several vans arriving at specified times (TBD) to pick up arrivals to take you to the villas at no additional cost.
Taxis are the primary mode of transportation in this community. The prices are geared toward the local population and are more very reasonable. Less than ten dollars can take you across town.
ADDITIONAL Q&A FOR YOUR PLANNING
Can I swim in the ocean? Yes! The local beaches and coves are perfect for swimming and other water sport activities.
What travel documents do I need? You will need a valid passport, and for those coming from the US and Canada, no visa is required. It's always a good idea to bring extra color copies of your passport, and passports can be left in room safes.
What time should I arrive and depart? If possible, aim to arrive by 4pm on the first day of the retreat. The retreat will begin with an opening circle at 5:30pm, followed by dinner at 7pm. The retreat concludes with breakfast at 10am on Friday, with pranayama/meditation and morning stretch practice prior. For flight departures, plan to leave Friday afternoon or anytime thereafter at your leisure. Due to the intimate nature of the retreat container, we do not allow arrivals after retreat start date.
Should I get travel insurance? YES!
What type of currency should I bring? Cash, in pesos and credit cards. There are ATMs in the area so it's easy to get extra cash for anything you might want to enjoy on retreat. Taxi's and many services are cash only.
What type of electric outlets are used? Should I bring a hairdryer? If you are coming from the US or Canada, your electronics will work without an adapter (all of North America uses the same standard plug for 110V connections). Please note that the AirBnb's usually have hair dryers, but if you NEED one, please bring your own. It is also quite warm in Huatulco and you may find no desire for a hair dryer.
How do I get from the airport to the retreat center and around town? Taxi or car rental. For taxi the least expensive rides are located just outside of the airport grounds near the main road. Simply exit the airport and a short walk down the street will find you numerous taxis. Taxis at the airport charge about 50 pesos more than outside the airport.
What Covid-precautions and safety measures can I expect? While there is a risk of exposure anywhere, Huatulco and the retreat location has safety protocols in place to support the health, well-being, and comfort of retreat guests. In addition to actions noted below, this retreat is limited in capacity to ensure ample space between guests group session. At the beginning of the retreat, we will discuss some additional group efforts to ensure every guest is supported and empowered to speak their desires around spacing, etc. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the property. Cleaning staff will follow best practices including extra sanitizing for high touch items. Some meals may be served plated. In some cases, meals may be served buffet-style. Social distance encouraged and doors will be open to increase ventilation. Cleaning yoga mats and props after each use. Disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer will be freely available for our guests to clean their equipment and hands.
