Reclaim Your Joy in Baja California, Mexico

DAILY ITINERARY

Day 1 – Arrival and Grounding: Settling into Peace and Presence in La Paz, Mexico

Welcome to La Paz, Baja California Sur—your home for the week. Founded in 1535 by Spanish explorer Hernando Cortés, La Paz is famed for its rich marine life and stunning natural beauty, attracting explorers like Jacques Cousteau who returned here annually to observe migrating whales. The name La Paz means “The Peace,” a fitting place to begin a retreat focused on reclaiming your power through presence and renewal. Arrive anytime today and take time to explore local arts, culture, or simply relax by the pool. The retreat formally begins at 7:00 AM the following morning. You may fly directly into La Paz or take advantage of our shuttle service from Cabo San Lucas airport at 2:00 PM today.  Overnight at Courtyard by Marriott.

Day 2 – Tuning In: Understanding and Trusting Your Intuition

Our first morning session will focus on Understanding Intuition—breaking down the elements of listening, recognizing, and trusting your inner signals, and exploring how stress may have affected your awareness. Afterward, we’ll hike along the scenic Malecon, continuing to Marina Palmira and Playa La Concha—popular spots for birding, fishing, and hiking. Enjoy nature’s quiet moments during less busy times. Daily nature therapy sessions with our guides will be available. We conclude the day with dinner at a local restaurant in downtown La Paz.  Hike Distance: 5.7 miles.  Overnight at Courtyard by Marriott. Breakfast included.

Day 3 – Intentional Living: Creating Your Life with Purpose and Accountability

Morning sessions include Creating the Life You Want, where we explore how to intentionally align your life with your goals and values, and Taking Full Responsibility, focusing on owning your choices and the role of self-forgiveness in growth. Today’s hike will take us to Cerro de la Calavera, known for unique rock formations and panoramic views of La Paz and the Gulf of California. This moderately challenging trail covers about 3.8 miles with 780 ft elevation gain. After the hike, time is allotted for reflection and optional massage or Reiki sessions.
 Overnight at Courtyard by Marriott. Breakfast included.

Day 4 – Flow & Renewal: Immersion in Nature and Focused Engagement

We begin with sessions on Finding and Maintaining Flow, identifying moments of deep focus and engagement and learning how to increase them in daily life. The day’s highlight is a visit to Isla Espíritu Santo, a pristine island in the Sea of Cortez with white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. Here, you’ll snorkel over coral reefs, swim with sea lions, and relax on untouched beaches—an experience of renewal and connection.  Overnight at Courtyard by Marriott. Breakfast included.

Day 5 – Meaning & Values: Defining What Matters Most

Morning sessions focus on Defining Personal Meaning—how to create authentic and sustainable purpose—and Clarifying Core Values to guide your decisions and actions. The afternoon is free for you to explore La Paz’s arts and culture, rent a paddleboard, kayak, bike, or simply relax on the beach. Reflection time and optional wellness treatments are available.  Overnight at Courtyard by Marriott. Breakfast included.

Day 6 – Manifestation & Connection: Aligning Goals and Exploring Deeper Bonds

Our final educational sessions include Principles of Effective Creation, focusing on the mindset and habits needed to consistently achieve your goals, and Connecting Beyond the Physical, exploring unseen connections between people and environment. We’ll spend the day at Balandra Beach, a sheltered bay with seven beaches, renowned for crystal-clear water, desert mountain views, and giant Cardon cacti. Enjoy a special nature activity here and soak in one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.  Overnight at Courtyard by Marriott. Breakfast included.
