Were back with our 5th annual Nurture in Nature Retreat: January 18-23 2026
….A Week of Nurturing
We invite you to put down the hustle of life and nurture yourself in nature on our favourite virgin beach on the Oaxaca coast in Mexico. Lodge with us at a private beach front Architectural Digest villa and practice/lodge at Kameko’s neighboring beach front retreat center, Santuario Shala.
We begin each day with nourishing movement, afternoon restoration, dive into Ayurvedic medicine, and time to explore, connect, rest and play. There will be plenty of free time to go on adventures, be still in nature, pool or the sea, or add a massage service or excursion. The menu for the week will be delicious local and fresh food with a focus on Mexican specialties. All meals and non-alcoholic beverages included. (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free options available). We will offer 2-hour all level morning vinyasa classes as well a variety of afternoon activities including: restorative yoga, yoga nidra, mat pilates, group nature walks, beach /shop /dinner excursions to town. We will offer a special sound healing and cacao ceremony.
