What Is This Experience All About?

The Nurture the Goddess Within Retreat is designed to give women a full day dedicated solely to their well-being. From the moment you arrive at the meeting spot in Mazunte, you’re welcomed into a peaceful space. The day begins with a Welcome Circle, where introductions, guided meditation, and intention setting help you settle in and prepare for the day ahead.

The core of the experience is a gentle Hatha Yoga session held outdoors on a deck with breathtaking ocean views. The sounds of waves and birds create an almost meditative backdrop, making this a perfect environment for loosening tension and focusing inward. The yoga is described as gentle, making it accessible even if you’re new to yoga or prefer a softer practice. We loved how the environment amplifies the calming effects—there’s nothing quite like practicing yoga with the sea breeze and the horizon stretching out in front of you.

Following yoga, you’ll enjoy a self-love meditation, which many reviews rave about for its depth and soothing power. Afterward, a selection of tropical fruits provides a refreshing break, re-energizing you for the next activities. The highlight for many is the water massage lesson. You’ll learn how to give a basic massage, starting on land in a lush garden setting and then moving into the pool—an experience that adds a tactile and nurturing dimension to the day. Guests describe it as a unique, healing technique that leaves you feeling rejuvenated.

The meal is accompanied by snacks, ensuring you’re well taken care of throughout the day.

Creative and Reflective Activities

Midway through the afternoon, you’ll move to an art session where you learn to create a meditation mandala—a calming, artistic practice that encourages mindfulness and self-expression. The art part is held on the terrace, with gorgeous views to inspire your creativity. This activity is particularly praised for its relaxing and introspective qualities, allowing you to channel your feelings into a tangible form.

The day rounds off with a sharing circle, giving everyone a chance to reflect and connect on a deeper level. If you wish, you can stay and watch the sunset—an enchanting way to close this self-care journey. Many reviews mention how touching and meaningful the conversations are, often emphasizing the supportive environment created by the guide, Jojo.
