centenarians with the greatest vitality.
A Life-Changing Experience
Is it time to make YOU and your health a top priority? Nowhere will you find a retreat dedicated to providing an environment that will not only help reset and refresh your body to it’s optimal factory settings, but will also infuse a wisdom and follow through plan so you can experience your own health retreat on a day to day basis.
Imagine stepping into the beautiful, grounded, and sun drenched world of Ixtapa, Mexico, where your journey with this retreat begins. From the moment you arrive, you are immersed in gifts that will help you navigate your health with ease and appreciate why certain regions of the world experience exceptional health and longevity - also known as the “Blue Zones” - and how they can be incorporated into your life so you can simulate the experience in your own backyard.
Body Prep (Pre-Retreat)
Before you even step onto the retreat, you will be given a plan to follow for 30 days prior, to ensure you aren’t coming in “cold”. This prep will ensure the work done at the retreat goes much smoother and faster so we can maximize your healing while on site.
Included in this prep will be a nutritional plan, and one coaching session.
Arrival and Welcome
Shortly after landing in Mexico, your mind and body will immediately relax and integrate into the natural and beautiful surroundings that will only get better at the retreat location itself. Enjoy the short drive to your accommodations, where you can enjoy simple or luxurious rooms, each with breathtaking views.
Once settled in and after enjoying a good night’s rest, you will be transported to the retreat location the next morning (5-10 mins) to begin your immersion into true health and wellness principles.
Accommodations
You will have a choice to stay at the Cala de Mar Resort or the Ixzi Plus Hotel, depending on how much luxury you want to experience during your stay. Each will offer clean rooms, nature-filled views, and pools as the standard, with opportunities to bask in exceptional settings and service.
Menu
Every day, you will have the ability to partake in 3 meals - breakfast, lunch, and dinner (evening). These meals will be created by a certified raw chef using local, fresh, and organic food that will not only assist in the healing process, but will be incredibly delicious. Not only that, but you will be able to learn how to make many of the recipes so you can continue to enjoy them at home!
Different preparations you will commonly enjoy include raw juices, smoothies, salads, and healthy snacks, with some local fish and soups also being available.
No worries if you have allergies - simply let us know and we will be sure to accommodate your request.
Therapies
You have the opportunity to receive various and multiple treatments over the course of the week, based on assessment and goals, as discussed by you and the retreat practitioners. These cutting edge treatments will help activate the inner healing response by the body, and do it in a fraction of the time of most technologies and modalities.
The suite of therapies that can be accessed include non-surgical body work, and energy medicine devices such as the Cellsonic, Cardio MedBed, Bioptron Light Therapy, Avacen 100, vibration plates, and more.
Seminars
Want to learn more about maximizing your mindset, nutrition, and environment? These areas and more will be discussed in an open format on selected days to ensure you have a practical working knowledge of these highly leverage-able factors so you can incorporate them into your lifestyle and enjoy their many returns.
Events and Excursions
All “work” and no play? No way! We have plenty of opportunities for you to formally engage with your fellow retreaters and practitioners (if you wish) on site through social and physical activities prepared for your maximum enjoyment.
For those who want to enjoy some local activities or landscapes, you can also book excursions in advance during the free time you will have while on site. Visit 3,000 year old archeological sites, snorkel, hit a bike trail, enjoy some golf, learn how to surf, or even participate in a baby turtle release! There’s plenty of enriching options to compliment your retreat activities.
Private or not feeling up to it? That’s ok, you get to choose if you want to partake, but it will be a lot of fun. :)
Departure (Post Retreat)
As the retreat comes to a close, you will be offered a follow up call a few weeks after to discuss integration of your “Blue Zone” lifestyle at home, and discuss any hurdles, adjustments, or products that can maintain the momentum created by the retreat experience. After all, you don’t want to feel good for a short period of time, you want to feel it every day! This can only be accomplished by integrating the principles of the retreat into your day-to-day experience on a consistent basis.
As you can see, this retreat will be a one of a kind experience due to the continuum of care given over a period of 60 days, with access to the best food, environment, treatments, education, and relaxation options, all in one spot!
To see if you are able to attend this retreat and to ensure optimal compatibility, please fill out the retreat survey ASAP (this retreat will be small and have an exclusive feel), and we will be in touch!
