Awake Heart Retreat

Welcoming the Spring Equinox

Lo De Marcos, Nayarit, México

March 18-25, 2022

A week-long experience of nourishment, ceremony, and community. The intention of this retreat is to expand our hearts, return to our inner wisdom and natural rhythm, connect with nature, and experience the gift and healing of doing so in an intimate in-person container.

We will gather daily for two sessions. There will also be time to enjoy the beach and jungle, alone time, and to visit neighboring towns if you choose.

This retreat is mostly led by me (Giovanna), with the support of Gustavo throughout the week, as well as a few other guest facilitators popping in.
