About the Retreat
At Mar de Jade, nestled between the jungle and the Pacific in the vibrant fishing village of Chacala, Mexico, you’ll step away from the noise of daily life and into a week designed for leaders, seekers, and visionaries who “look great on paper” but are hungry for more. More depth. More aliveness. More courage. Through daily yoga, reflective practices, and immersive experiences, you’ll explore what becomes possible when you meet your biggest challenges and deepest fears with equal parts grace and grit. You’ll reconnect with your body, expand your vision for what’s possible, and laugh—often. Together we’ll stretch beyond what’s comfortable, savor fresh adventures, and return home not only renewed, but emboldened to live and lead like you only live once—because you do.
