March is all about the ladies (hello Women’s History Month) and while this time last year we were all hoarding hand sanitizer and toilet paper, this year, we’re looking for restorative, meaningful experiences. In honor of these things, Palmaïa – The House of Aïa, a leading progressive wellness resort in the Riviera Maya, has launched its first ever women’s retreat that is designed to assist with overall holistic wellness programming and specific physical and mental self-care.
Taking place March 20 – 26, the property and renowned Dr. Stacy Thomas of The Design Your Life Centre will offer Reimagine,centered around helping women leaders of the new age embrace the prospect of realizing their limitless potential, while connecting with like-minded women. The retreat will challenge guests to reimagine the world as one where every being embodies deep respect for themselves and each other, and self-care is considered selfless. The immersive retreat will include mind, body and soul experiences such as:
· Holistic wellness programming including gong baths, meditation concerts and breathwork sessions, cacao ceremonies, yoga, cleansing rituals, plant-based medicine experiences, writing exercises focused on the letting go of what no longer serves, etc.
· Lectures and workshops led by Dr. Stacy on topics such as trance states and their relationship to creativity, healing, and intuition, understanding the connection between the lunar and menstrual cycles, and self-hypnosis to overcome obstacles and amplify the creative unconscious for healing and growth.
· A day of self-care designed to nurture participants and help them reconnect with oneself.
Throughout the retreat, guests will also be able to enjoy all that Palmaïa has to offer such as the plant-based dining and the Architects of Life programming, just to name a few. Rates for the retreat begin at $5,139 and include accommodations for six nights, all meals (part of Palmaïa’s Gifting Lifestyle), private airport transfers, massages, and more. And in light of the new travel requirements, participants will also receive a complimentary COVID-19 PCR test.
