a retreat for the soul under the Mexican sun
The name SO[u]L 2026 speaks to the heart of this retreat—a soulful experience designed to help you reconnect with yourself and feel fully alive, all beneath the warmth of the Mexican Sol (sun).
​
In our busy lives, it's easy to lose touch with what truly makes us feel vibrant and whole. This retreat offers you the chance to pause, breathe, and rediscover your inner light. Through yoga, nature, and meaningful connection with like-minded souls, you'll be guided back to a sense of balance and joy.
​
Under the nurturing energy of the sun and the rhythm of the ocean waves, you’ll have the space to slow down, recharge, and simply be. Here, you’re invited to leave behind the noise and find your SO[u]L in the beauty of Mexico’s serene coastal landscapes.

Hi, I'm Erin
I'm Erin, your guide for this transformative spring retreat experience. As a Certified Professional Holistic Health Coach and Yoga Therapist, I have over sixteen years of holistic wellness expertise. I'm a devoted mom to two incredible souls, and they remind me daily of the importance of nurturing ourselves and the world around us. I am my happiest in the great outdoors, where I draw inspiration and reverence for the natural world. Holistic living is my passion. Through my teaching, I share the wisdom of mindful living and highlight the importance of fostering a deeper and more wholesome connection to your body, mind, and spirit. I also honor the significance of rest, rejuvenation, and renewal, which is what has led me to create and host this retreat. In a world that never seems to stop, I highly value the moments of stillness and self-care that rejuvenate the soul. Join me on this retreat, and together, let's soak up with energy of the Sol, embrace adventure and culture, and carve out precious moments for rest and renewal amidst life's beautiful chaos.

Flights & ground transportation: ​
Flights and ground transportation costs are not included. You will fly into Puerto Vallarta (PVR). Litibu is a 45-60min drive from the airport. Taxis are readily available at the airport when you arrive, or I can assist you in scheduling a private car ahead of your arrival (this is usually cheaper). It is encouraged that guests share ground transportation as it is likely that you will arrive in PVR at similar times.
​
Extending your stay:​
Is four nights not long enough? I get it! I'd want to stay longer too. If you're interested in extending your trip, I can assist you with where to stay, what to see, what to do, and how to do it all safely. I have spent much time in the areas of Sayulita, San Poncho, Punta de Mita, and Yelapa and would love to help you create a unique experience. For example, you might decide to fly in two days early and spend some time in the fun, hippie-vibe beach town of San Poncho and then stay a few days later and take a water taxi to visit Yelapa, a beach town with NO CARS. Each is special in it's own way!
Escape the midwinter chill and step into paradise this spring for a soulful getaway like no other in Litibu, Mexico. I warmly invite you to join me for five unforgettable days where you have the permission to completely unwind, relax, and reconnect—not only with your Self but with a small group of similarly-minded wellness enthusiasts. Together, we’ll breathe in the salty ocean air, move through mindfulness-focused yoga sessions, and simply be in the peaceful beauty of pristine beaches, swaying palm trees, and the sparkling Pacific Ocean.
This retreat is all about giving yourself the space and time to recharge. Whether you're craving deep rest or a little adventure, every detail is designed to nourish your body, mind, and soul. So come as you are, let go of the daily grind, and rediscover joy in one of Mexico’s most breathtaking coastal escapes.
