Not many things in this life are promised. But the one thing promised to us all is that at some point, this journey will end. Life gives way to death and death gives way to life. It is the cyclical nature of this existence.
Light of darkness is an opportunity to die consciously in this lifetime, to be reborn, and see with new perspectives all the light in your life.
This is not just a retreat, but a cultural immersion. We will have the privilege of experiencing Dia de Muertos, a rich Mexican tradition honoring those who’ve left this realm.
It is a potent time to celebrate life by coming face to face with our death
When we work in this liminal space, we open a portal to access information, retrieve lost pieces of the soul, heal wounds, and gain clarity of what needs to be left behind to create space for new things to be born.
Honor who you were, who you are, and who you are becoming, and join us in the mountains of Tepoztlan in this celebration of life and light as we enter the darkness together.

Honoring both the light and the darkness, you'll experience different practices that will take you to that subtle space. Hatha, Vinyasa, yin, meditation, breath-work, Shamanic journey, energetic processes, sound, rituals and ceremony. No previous experience is needed, only an open heart and mind.
