A Journey Into the Sacred.
Welcome to Spirit & Selva — a soulful, transformational retreat on Mexico’s wild Pacific coast, where ancient traditions, nature, movement, and ceremony come together.
Nestled between lush jungle and the ocean in the beautiful village of San Pancho, this is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your spirit, and remember the wisdom that already lives within you.
Over 10 days, you’ll experience shamanic yoga, breathwork, sacred ritual, fire ceremony, drumming, Temazcal, ocean healing, and deep connection within a small circle of like-minded women.
This isn’t simply a holiday.
It’s a journey back to yourself.
Why Spirit & Selva?
Selva means jungle — a place of life, mystery, healing, and transformation.
Spirit & Selva is inspired by the powerful elements of Mexico: earth, fire, water, air, and spirit. Together we’ll immerse ourselves in ancient practices that help us release what no longer serves us and create space for something new.
Expect moments of adventure, deep rest, laughter, ceremony, stillness, and profound connection.
What You’ll Experience
Throughout our time together you’ll be guided through a carefully curated journey including:
Daily Shamanic Yoga.
Breathwork journeys.
Sacred Fire Ceremony.
Traditional Temazcal sweat lodge.
Cacao Ceremony.
Drum Journey & Sound Healing.
Meditation and ritual.
Journaling and intention setting.
Ocean connection and beach rituals.
Nature immersion in the jungle.
Sharing circles and integration.
Every practice is an invitation — never an expectation.
A Sacred Time in Mexico
— Día de los Muertos
One of the most magical aspects of this retreat is that we’ll be in San Pancho during Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) — one of Mexico’s most sacred and beautiful celebrations.
From 31 October to 2 November, the village transforms with vibrant marigolds, handmade altars, candlelit streets, music, dancing, and community ceremonies honouring loved ones who have passed.
We’ll have the opportunity to respectfully witness and experience this extraordinary cultural tradition together.
The themes of remembrance, ancestry, gratitude, life, and transformation weave perfectly into the intention of Spirit & Selva — making this a truly unforgettable time to be in Mexico.
The Magic of San Pancho
San Pancho is one of Mexico’s hidden gems.
A peaceful surf village filled with colourful streets, artisan markets, beautiful cafés, local culture, and an incredible sense of community.
Wake up to birdsong, spend afternoons by the Pacific Ocean, wander jungle trails, and watch golden sunsets every evening.
This is Mexico in its most soulful form.
Nourishment for Body & Soul
Food is part of the ceremony.
Each day begins with a nourishing breakfast and ends with a beautiful shared dinner prepared with fresh local ingredients and vibrant Mexican flavours.
Expect tropical fruit, nourishing seasonal dishes, herbal teas, wholesome meals, and food made with love.
Breakfast and dinner are included throughout the retreat.
Lunches are left open so you can explore San Pancho’s wonderful cafés and restaurants at your own pace.
Your Home in the Jungle
Our boutique retreat sanctuary has been chosen for its peaceful energy and natural beauty.
Surrounded by tropical gardens and just moments from the beach, it’s the perfect place to rest, reset, and reconnect.
Accommodation options include shared twin rooms and a limited number of private rooms.
