Drop in the Ocean Women’s Retreat
Sea of Cortez | La Ventana, Baja Mexico
A Transformational Women’s Yoga Retreat |
This retreat was so blissful in 2023 & 2025 that we are excited to return for a third time & recreate the magic that is Baja!
The poet Rumi reminds us, “You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop.” Baja is a special place with a unique healing energy- a place that Chelsea finds herself drawn to return back to again and again to soak up the magic. You are invited to come back to nature and realize your true self, always present when we connect with the healing magic of mother earth and the divine feminine element of water. Breathe fresh air, enjoy healthy, nutrient rich food, feel the sand under your feet, the water around your body, the sun on your skin and allow yourself to fully reset to come back to your true nature. Located in remote, La Ventana, south of La Paz, right on the Sea of Cortez- the perfect mix of desert climate, white sand beaches and beautiful Caribbean like waters.
A quaint setting, with only 12 ocean and partial ocean view villas, as well as 6 small beachy cabins nestled right on the white sand Baja beach. Come enjoy warm breezes, big Baja sunsets and sunny days on this quiet seaside Women’s retreat. Enjoy a plunge in the pool or hot tub, indulge in curated spa treatments, nourishing organic cuisine and relax immersed in the Sea of Cortez. Twice daily yoga and meditation classes with Chelsea in the open air, ocean view Palapa Shala, or intimate Ananda Shala. Additional nightly ceremonies and workshops including a transformational sound healing session by some of Chelsea’s original teachers, as well as a beautiful beach centric excursion. Experience the magic that is Baja, let go of stress and worries as we snorkel as a group at nearby Isla Cerralvo and enjoy the 16 mile virgin, uninhabited island. Spend your free time napping in hammocks, kayaking, paddle boarding, walking the beach, hiking or mastering the art of deep relaxation.
Take a full week for yourself to reset, connect with other women, disconnect from what is holding you back and realize your fullness, always present inside. This retreat was so blissful in 2023 & 2025 that we are excited to return for a third time and recreate the magic that is Baja!
All yoga levels are welcome.
