Six days deep in the Mayan jungle for your group: yoga at sunrise, cenotes at noon and ancient ceremonies under the stars.
Group Retreat · On request · From 8 guests
This programme runs on request for closed groups of 8 guests or more. There are no fixed dates: you choose the timing, and we design, coordinate and host the retreat for your group, with a written proposal before anything is confirmed.
Jungle Reboot
The Jungle Reboot is our signature group programme: six days and five nights in a jungle lodge on the Riviera Maya, built around movement, breath, Mayan tradition and time in nature.
Mornings begin with yoga in the temple. Days bring workshops, jungle walks and swims in three private cenotes. Evenings belong to the Temazcal, the Cacao Ceremony and a breathwork journey. In between, there is time to rest in a hammock, write and simply be together.
The programme runs on request for your own closed group, from 8 guests: friends, a community, a coach with clients or a team. You choose the dates; we design and host the week.
The programme
01
Every morning begins on the mat, among the trees
Vinyasa or Hatha classes in the round meditation temple, open to every level from first-timers to experienced practitioners. Each class closes with breath meditation or deep relaxation, so the day starts calm, strong and unhurried.
02
An evening ritual around the drink the Maya called the food of the gods
As the light fades, the group gathers around a flower altar for warm ceremonial cacao, prepared the traditional way. The ceremony moves into singing bowls and a mantra circle: a quiet, heart-warming evening that brings the group together like nothing else.
03
The Mayan sweat lodge, guided by a traditional temazcalero
Inside the dome, steam rises from volcanic stones heated in the fire, and a traditional guide leads the group through songs, breath and four rounds of heat. Copal smoke opens and closes the ritual. Guests describe coming out feeling light, clear and deeply relaxed.
04
An evening of guided breath, drum and music
Lying in a circle in the temple, the group is guided through a connected breathing practice to the sound of the drum. It is a powerful, deeply personal experience that many guests call the turning point of their week, followed by rest and time to share.
05
Crystal-clear water, sacred to the Maya, on the property
Three private cenotes sit within the lodge grounds, so a swim is always a few steps away: before breakfast, after a workshop or at sunset. The water is cool, clear and completely still, the perfect counterpoint to the warmth of the jungle.
06
Shinrin-yoku in the Mayan jungle
Guided walks through the jungle at sunrise, with time to slow down, listen and notice: giant ceiba trees, butterflies, parrots and, with a little luck, monkeys in the canopy. Forest bathing invites you to be fully present in nature, phone left behind.
07
Free movement, great music, no steps to learn
A joyful early-morning session where the group simply moves to the music, barefoot and without rules. It shakes off tension, wakes up the body and leaves everyone smiling for the rest of the day.
08
The worldview of the Maya, on their own land
A local guide introduces the Mayan way of seeing time, nature and community: the calendar, the elements and the rhythms that shaped one of the great civilisations of the Americas. It gives every ceremony of the week its context and meaning.
09
A fresh look at food, energy and everyday habits
Gabriella shares how mindset shapes daily habits, and how to build a relationship with food that gives you energy. Practical, plant-based ideas you can take home, put into practice at every shared meal of the week.
10
From intention to a clear plan
A focused workshop on what you truly want next, and how to turn it into intentions, decisions and concrete steps. Guests leave with a written vision and a plan for the months ahead.
11
A private session for every guest
Each guest has a private coaching session with Gabriella, focused on personal and professional development. One honest hour that brings clarity to a decision, a pattern or the next step.
Rhythm
Every group's week is shaped around its own pace. This is the rhythm most days follow.
Sunrise
Vinyasa or Hatha, closing with breath meditation or deep relaxation.
Morning
Tropical fruit, smoothies and a warm plant-based dish.
Midday
Healthy lifestyle, manifestation or Mayan cosmovision, then cenotes, hammocks and jungle walks.
Evening
Temazcal, Cacao Ceremony or a breathwork journey, followed by supper together.
Where you stay
The retreat takes place in one of the most magical corners of the Riviera Maya: a tranquil jungle lodge, far enough from the city to truly disconnect, yet close to Playa del Carmen. You wake to birdsong and the rustle of leaves, surrounded by green.
Carved stone, round windows and wooden roofs give every space its own character. The rooms are clean and cooled by ceiling fans, with queen-size beds and a private bathroom, ideal for couples and friends travelling together. Around them are a pool, hammocks, terraces, a meditation temple and three private cenotes.
All around is the life of the jungle: parrots, giant butterflies and monkeys in the canopy. And when the group wants a little bustle, Playa del Carmen and Tulum are an easy drive away.
At the table
Three vegan meals a day, cooked fresh with tropical fruit and local produce. Mornings bring chilaquiles, avocado toast, homemade granola or gluten-free pancakes, with fruit and smoothies. Lunch travels the world: mung bean pasta with homemade pesto, vegetable curry, lentil patties and fresh salads.
In the evening, supper turns Mexican: vegan entomatadas, carrot tinga or a portobello burger. One night the group bakes its own pizza in the outdoor oven. Coffee, tea and water are there all day.
Prices are quoted per group, based on your dates, group size, rooms and programme.
Make it your own
Add a day of discovery to your group's week. We arrange every tour and treatment for you.

Guest stories
“Really diving into the culture and traditions of this jungle community (being part of their ceremonies and lifestyle)…was truly amazing.”
I visited the retreat in December 2024. For me it was a very wonderful experience . In no way, I imagined it to be so authentic and raw!! Really diving into the culture and traditions of this jungle community (being part of their ceremonies and lifestyle)…was truly amazing. I can’t even decide on my favourite experience: from the cacao ceremony, ecstatic dance to the intense temazcal session. This week was rich of personal growth and enlightenment. I am very thankful that we were so kindly welcomed from the whole team and for Gabriella, her strong engagement and support, making all of it possible.
“Be prepared to realize that what you think is of ultimate importance to you, is not so important after all.”
Transformative experience in the jungle
I retired fairly recently and wanted to do something very out of my usual.
I was hoping for a reboot and hoping to gain some clarity about where I want my life to go now.
Why I chose this retreat: I didn't want all yoga. I loved the variety of experiences. I was specifically looking in Mexico, plus, the dates and location matched my needs.
I feel that I am better able to cope with some of the everyday stresses that I encounter.
I felt joyful and grateful and very full of love post-rereat.

In another context, I might have been upset that there was often no power at night (solar-powered electricity means that if you have a cloudy day, you run out of electricity!), or that until the last day, the shower was a trickle of cold water. I was surprised at how easily I adapted and shrugged it off.
“I had the amazing nurturing experience of going with a friend, who I consider my sister.”
Transforming breathwork and meaningful rituals…
I wanted to expand myself as a woman.

The friendships developed were transforming; either participants or the leaders, hosts, and people met during the experience.
“Gabriella, thank you for your wisdom and compassion!”
Words cannot express my gratitude for having this oportunity to participate in this Journey. What an amazng experience! Gabriella, thank you for your wisdom and compassion!
“I found overall clarity, love, acceptance, vision, and peace.”
I am telling you right now this retreat will be more than you can imagine.
I was looking for a retreat because of ife in general, needing to connect with like-minded people, and feeling the call.
I felt called to push book, I honestly didn't even read the entire description. It just felt right.
I found overall clarity, love, acceptance, vision, and peace.
I am telling you right now this retreat will be more than you can imagine.
Gabby, Thomas, and their team are absolutely incredible on every level.
Who takes care of you
The people around you shape a retreat more than any place ever could. Ours are teachers and therapists we have known and worked with for years – people with real skill and an even bigger heart. They will learn your name on the first day, notice how you are feeling, and make sure you never have to think about anything other than yourself. This is the part of the retreat guests talk about long after they have gone home.
Your yoga teacher
Every morning begins with Raul. His classes are calm, grounded and open to every level – he meets you exactly where you are, and somewhere during the week you notice your body has started to feel like home again.
Your massage therapist
Natalia’s hands are what many guests remember most. Her treatments are deep, attentive and quietly restorative – the moment in the day when everything finally lets go.
