The Arrival
Arrive heavy. Leave resonant.
Six nights in the jungle outside Tulum: sound baths beneath Holistika’s Dome, cacao at dusk, mornings in a cenote, and a stillness you carry home.
This retreat is an invitation to put everything down for a while. We gather at Holistika, a jungle sanctuary just outside Tulum, where the days move at the pace of breath.
Each day is held in sound: crystal and Himalayan bowls, gong and voice, in the shala at sunrise and beneath the Dome at night. Between sessions there is time to rest, swim, read, walk the jungle art path, or simply do nothing at all.
You don't need any experience with sound healing or meditation. Come as you are. Leave lighter, softer and more yourself.
The Place
Holistika Tulum
Holistika is a jungle wellness sanctuary just outside Tulum: 24 rooms around the pools, shalas built with sound in mind, the Dome where we gather at night, a jungle art path, and Tierra, its plant-based restaurant.
The Days
Light finds its way down. So will you.
Day 1
Arrive & open the circle
Our shuttle meets you at Cancún airport and brings you into the jungle. Settle in, then gather for welcome cacao and an opening sound bath as the cicadas begin.
Day 2
Into the stillness
Sunrise movement in the shala, a slow plant-based breakfast at Tierra, an afternoon to rest by the pool, and an evening crystal bowl journey.
Day 3
The water
A morning in a nearby cenote: cool, clear and lit from above. An integration circle in the afternoon, and a gentle sound bath under the Dome at night.
Day 4
Earth & fire
Hands in clay, a walk along the jungle art path, and a temazcal ceremony at dusk, led by a local facilitator.
Day 5
A day of rest
Nothing scheduled until evening. Book a massage, swim, journal or sleep. We close the day with a candlelit gong bath.
Day 6
Closing circle
A last sunrise practice, a long lunch together, and a closing sound journey and circle under the stars.
Day 7
Return
Breakfast, goodbyes, and the shuttle back to Cancún airport.

The Way There
- Arrive
- Land at Cancún (CUN) by 1:00 pm on Day 1; the group shuttle leaves at 2:30 pm
- Leave
- Book flights home leaving Cancún after 1:00 pm on the last day
Fly into Cancún International Airport (CUN). It has the most flights and the best fares, and it's about 1.5 to 2 hours to the retreat by road. Our group shuttle meets you there inside the arrival window. Tulum International Airport (TQO) is closer, but it has far fewer flights. If it works for you, that's fine: let us know and plan your own transfer. Uber doesn't operate in Tulum, so please don't plan on it. Please wait for your "Retreat confirmed" email before booking flights.
We confirm the retreat is going ahead by Tuesday, December 1, 2026. Please book travel after that email arrives.

Questions
Can I come on my own?

Absolutely. Everything is gentle and guided, and you’re always welcome to rest through any session.
