THE EXPERIENCE:
A TASTE OF THE VOYAGES YOU WILL EMBARK ON
Experience the solar eclipse
The total Solar Eclipse is set to occur on Monday, April 8th, 2024 at 11:00am. Your first day of the retreat you will be taken out to sea on a 44’ sailing yacht in the bay of Puerto Vallarta to watch the Total Solar Eclipse on the ocean where you will see 95.9% full totality.
A solar eclipse is where the sun and moon meet and a moment of darkness casts a shadow in the sky. The rare alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth during a solar eclipse can signify a moment of spiritual unity, balance, and harmony. As the sun re-emerges from behind the moon, this could represent a new beginning or a fresh start in one’s spiritual journey.
Meet SV Ella
Your vessel to experience the Solar Eclipse
Sailing Vessel Ella is a 44' mono-haul Captained by Cameron Van Peebles. Equipped with a large deck for your viewing pleasure as well as a full bathroom, kitchen, and living quarters.
We will set sail for the day on a 44' Pearson Countess, a 1965 gem transformed with a mid-century modern touch, and witness the mesmerizing total solar eclipse from the heart of the sea. Embrace a celestial dance atop the waves, and immerse yourself in the unparalleled magic of nature and nostalgia combined
Yin & Yang Qigong
Deeply rooted in ancient Chinese tradition, Qigong is a system of coordinated body postures, movement, and meditation. As a White Tiger Qigong Instructor, Nixie Marie will guide you through these practices to balance your life force, reduce stress, and promote health and spirituality.
Feng shui workshops
Learn the art of creating harmony in your living environment. Each workshop will guide you on how to align your surroundings with the principles of natural energy flow, creating a peaceful and productive environment.
Sound healing sessions
Experience healing through the power of sound. These sessions use vibrational frequencies to shift the body from a state of imbalance to a state of balance. The sound baths promote deep relaxation, healing, and a sense of wellbeing.
Breathwork
Breathe deeply and rediscover the profound power that lies within. Our breathwork sessions, hosted by Brookelin Barnhill will guide you on a transformative journey inward, tapping into latent energies, releasing blocked emotions, and grounding you in the present moment. This ancient practice revitalizes the mind, body, and spirit, preparing you for deeper immersion in the retreat's activities.
Free flow dance exploration
Lose yourself in the rhythmic cadence of dance. This is not just about movement, it's about liberation. Allow the music to flow through you, breaking barriers and reigniting your primal energy. It's a safe space to express, connect, and feel alive. Combined with our breathwork sessions, this dance experience will elevate your spirit and anchor your connection to the present.
temazcal ceremony
Step into the embrace of the ancient temazcal, a traditional Mesoamerican sweat lodge designed to purify the body, mind, and spirit. This sacred ceremony, led by our experienced shaman, invites you to connect deeply with Mother Earth and the elements. As aromatic herbs release their essence with the heat, participants chant, pray, and meditate in the womb-like darkness, promoting healing, rejuvenation, and a profound spiritual awakening. Emerging from the temazcal, you'll feel reborn, having shed old energies and embraced a renewed sense of purpose and clarity.
The food
Indulge in authentic Mexican cuisines
Meticulously crafted by our local chef who is passionate about tradition and taste. Each meal celebrates the rich flavors and heritage of Mexico, utilizing the freshest organic produce sourced directly from local farms. Experience a culinary journey that is both nutritious and deeply rooted in Mexican culture. Let every bite connect you to the vibrant heart of Sayulita's bounteous land.

THe location
Mexico’s charming boho
beach town Sayulita
Sayulita was originally founded in the 1970’s by hippie American surfers on a mission to find the best waves on the Pacific Mexican coastline. Since then the small beach town has grown to become one of Mexico’s most sought after vacation spots with a large community of artists, surfers, creatives, and wellness advocates.
Sayulita is a Pueblo Magico which has been awarded this title due to maintaining its original architecture, culture, as well as its magical and mythical qualities.
Sayulita is home of tacos, smiles, and pure bliss.
YOUR INNER WORLD SHAPES YOUR EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
As a Feng Shui and Sacred Space Expert I often see a subconscious neglect in homes due to the nature of
busyness from the day to day grind.
What I have discovered working with hundreds of clients and students is that the subconscious neglect in our outer environment is actually rooted in neglecting our inner world. Our organs, mind, heart, and soul.
During this retreat you will be guided through experiences that bring you inward through the foundations of Feng Shui, Qigong, and Sound healing.
As you begin to shift your internal reality, your entire ecosystem begins to change. We can actually see this example in nature when our oceans coral reefs begin to die the entire marine environment around it dies off. Without a healthy biodiverse sea life where everything is well-balanced the ocean can not thrive.
When you balance your inner ecosystem everything around you begins to change. This has the potential to bring in massive shifts in our life including; career changes, nourishing & vibrant relationships, discovering your true purpose in life, or even leaving it all behind and embarking on something new.

Meet Your Host Nixie marie
Feng Shui Consultant & Sacred Space Expert
Hi groovy soul! I will be your host for this six day expansive retreat! I believe in a life devoted to self-mastery and this has led me to living what some would call an alternative lifestyle. I am passionate in exploring ways we can regain our connection to nature whether that be sailing the high seas or living in a yurt in the mountains. I have come to the realization that we can’t obtain self-mastery without getting out of our comfort zones and truth be told our society has led us incredibly far from our true nature.
Getting out of our comfort zones = RE-connecting to nature
What used to be a completely natural part of our existence and our ancestral ways has become lost as we lead a life filled with materialism, disconnection, and disharmony.
Nature has all the answers and I am here to be your conduit to reconnect with her through the many modalities I have studied.
I’ve spent the last decade studying energy through Feng Shui, Qigong, and sound healing. I have facilitated a number of transformational experiences with a core intention to master my own personal energy field.
My intention is for you to reconnect with your soul through the Earths natural rhythms and master your own personal energy so that you can then become a master of your environment.
THE INNER CREATES THE OUTER. THAT WHICH YOU SPEAK IS THAT WHICH YOU CREATE.
