What is choosing love over fear all about?

We will look towards yoga, meditation, breathing practices, and other healing modalities to help us continuously choose love over fear and expand into our fullest expression and deepest potential. Regulating the nervous system, reducing stress and tension, releasing stuck energy and limiting beliefs, creating and reinforcing new neuropathways that challenge our inner critic and the brain’s negativity bias as well as harnessing the power of nature, astrology, and the moon cycles to manifest our deepest desires. All while relaxing in a stunning beachfront villa, connecting and sharing with new friends, being pampered with amazing massages, and nourished with clean, healthy, nutritious meals. We will experience the wonder and magic of the whale migration and experience the natural high of riding waves and the empowerment surfing conjures up. Connect to yourself, your soul, your intuition, nature, and others on a whole new level and watch you relationships, career, and life in general elevate and expand to what you have always dreamed of.

Now is the time!

“Love is to fear, what light is to darkness”

Agathe’s retreat was wonderful! It was so thoughtfully curated with a beautiful variety of modalities and experiences orgamized to support heart, mind, body and spirit. So worth the expense and a priceless investment in myself! I highly, highly recommend!

Astrology of the week of March 9th

Everything about this retreat is highly curated and thought out, down to the actual dates on which it occurs. The sun will be in Pisces, a highly intuitive, sensitive, and creative water sign, perfect for connecting with our emotions and intuition and releasing fear. The moon will be in Gemini (air) on our first day, a great time to communicate, share, connect, and write our intentions for the week. The moon moves into water afterwards to help us connect to our emotions and begin to release and make space for the new. Then fire to manifest and transform that which is no longer serving us and finally earth to help us ground and center into our latest iteration, helping us to create a strong resolve and foundation for our return home.

Where will we be staying?

The East Cape of Baja California Sur, Mexico is a stunning, raw untouched paradise with wild donkeys, cows, and horses roaming free amongst the empty beaches and turquoise ocean. All villas are off-grid, completely solar-powered for a truly eco-friendly experience with expansive views free of power lines and light pollution lending itself to incredible star gazing. Our villa is a beautiful, comfortable, luxury villa right on the beach with pool, hot tub, tennis court, gym, and spa room. The rooms are all equipped with king sized beds, tvs, safes, and luscious linens. We will have our own private chef preparing clean, healthy, nutritious meals as we dine ocean side with the whales putting on a show and the breeze kissing our skin. There are a variety of rooms to choose from, some perfect for friends orfamily members traveling together or couples wishing for their own casita away from the main villa.

I very much enjoyed and appreciated my time in Mexico. It was my first retreat 

Thanks to Agathe and her team , I discovered, in an enchanted environment , that discipline which is also a real “art de vivre” !!

Through different exercises, postures, breathing techniques, I learned how it is important to focus on your own body and inner rhythms . Not only that , but how it is important to share your experience with others !!

Agathe is a wonderful teacher as well as a coordinator, a very sensitive person who shares , understands the feelings and personalities of each and everyone one .Thank you so much, Agathe

In spring 2023, my wife and I experimented a first: A yoga retreat in Mexico organized by Agathe (aka Amanecer). We flew with a couple friends from Miami to Zihuatanejo for a week. Agathe had reserved a beautiful house in Troncones on a very secluded beach and organised the entire stay for us. The accommodations, the service, the surroundings and the overall experience was exquisite. But the most enlightening part of the retreat was not on the material aspects. Agathe’s retreat was a true spiritual journey inward. This amazing journey proved to be transformative in many aspects. Agathe has a unique talent to help you reflect upon your own self. It felt like traveling through my being and pausing to rediscover forgotten aspects of my personality. The process has been very revitalizing to me and helped me to grow (never too late, I am 69 years old).

I am particularly impressed by Agathe’s choice of words and pace while guiding our yoga classes. I frankly can easily be bored during yoga. Never with Agathe she makes me work not only on my body but also activates my mind.

We learned some very effective mindfulness and breathing techniques and other tools for regulating the nervous system, decreasing anxiety, and overall stress resilience that I have taken into my day to day life and have proven very helpful. 

The breathwork sessions are incredible. It is hard to explain but you come out of them like refreshed at peace and blissful. It can be intense but I was impatiently looking for the next one.

Agathe’s retreats are very special and I feel fortunate to have experienced this incredible journey. We are making plans for the next one.

You will enjoy a nice balance of healing, restoring, relaxing, and grounding practices, free time, playing in nature, and pampering. I’m conscious of the general theme of busyness and not enough time in the day in most people’s lives, and for that reason I have included ample free time for slowing down, regulating, relaxing, and also integrating the deep work we will be doing. However, as I am with you at all times, I can assess the energy of the group and add or subtract yoga, meditations, and breathwork as best suited.

Arianne Araiz - Quantum Rose Healing

Having gone through her own profound healing journey, Arianne Araiz has gained the insights and wisdom needed to guide others. Through her personal path of self-discovery and healing, she has been able to help others reconnect with their higher selves and find their own paths to healing and inner balance.

The Way of the Rose

Quantum Rose Healing is a transformative practice that harmonizes every aspect of the self—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, subtle, and divine. This holistic approach helps individuals realign with their true essence of love, remembering that who we are and where we come from is Divine Love, our Divine Consciousness. The healing process involves a conversation with one’s higher divine essence, where Arianne Araiz facilitates the communion between the individual and their higher self. Through this connection, individuals can understand and heal hidden inner wounds that are ready to be released, allowing them to continue their path home—toward their heart and Divine Love Consciousness.

María Fernanda Goñi - Sound healing practitioner 

Seated in a sacred circle in ceremony, I rediscovered the power of my own voice as the most powerful healing tool.

Since then I am dedicated to the study of sound as a healing modality and to harness the power of sound to step into new levels of sovereignty, abundance, peace, well-being and harmonious community, trough the power of Sound and Meditation.

In my ceremonies I play Tibetan singing bowls, Crystal bowls, Gong, Shutri box, Bells, Chimes, Rattles and Drums, creating the atmosphere and holding the space so participants can feel safe and go deep in their own inner journey. To be held by sound is to be held by the Divine.

Maria Muir -Healer - Crystalline DNA Skull Activation

My mission is to guide people seeking access to a higher level of being. I help people turn up their inner light and raise their vibration, creating a better environment and vision for self-healing and a life full of zest, luster, and vitality.

Fusing ancient healing modalities with modern science and technology, I will help you shine light in those dark corners, freeing you from limitations, allowing your true essence to shine brightly. Simple tools and techniques that create and alchemy of vital energy are implemented that can lead to healing on all levels of being. Crystalline refers to the full rainbow frequency of quartz crystals. This crystalline frequency holds within it the memory of oneness/unity consciousness. We call this crystalline consciousness. It is the vibration of unconditional love, of the new paradigm we have entered into as a conscious species and planet. Working with the crystalline through crystal skulls, I connect to the unified source of creation and assists the individual to be able to hold more high efficiency light in their bodies, thereby raising their vibration and higher consciousness. From this place, physical, vital, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing can occur. I channel this healing work through the skulls.

My first breathwork experience was with Agathe and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was very resistant as I started the breathing and tried to get away with not really doing it. Agathe coached me through the resistance and I am so happy that she did because I had an experience like no other. I went into what I can only explain as a deep deep meditation (I am a newbie at all this stuff mind you) and felt complete weightlessness, as if I had left my body, but it felt amazing, not scary. It was a state of emptiness, nothingness while still feeling connected. I didn’t see the time go by and I kind of didn’t want to come back or have it end. Agathe is currently planning a retreat for me and my wife so we can continue to work with her and her team.
