The Quantum Leap From the Head to the Heart
Are You Seeking More than Just Silence?
This is not just a meditation retreat, it’s an immersion into embodied wisdom, your body’s deep somatic intelligence. This is an opportunity to digest unprocessed emotions, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with life from a place of true centredness and purpose.
Through non-dual tantric teachings and practices, an embodied approach to meditation, and emotional digestion practices, this retreat offers a grounded and authentic approach to inner transformation—one that is practical, profound, and free from new-age fluff.
Retreat Testimonials
Why We Created This Retreat
Between us, we have spent decades immersed in spiritual practice, with over 20 years of teaching experience in meditation, yoga, tantra, and embodiment. Over the years, we’ve seen sincere seekers struggle with the same core challenges:
1. The Struggle to Integrate
-
Many traditional teachings were designed for renunciates, not modern people balancing work, relationships, and daily life.
-
Spiritual seekers are often told to “just observe” emotions—but without guidance on how to actually process them, leading to suppression or avoidance, or worse, guilt and shame for having challenging emotions.
-
This leads to a disparity between the beauty sought and experienced in retreats and practice, and the disharmonious behaviours and ways of relating, expressed in our lives.
2. The Lack of Genuine Depth
-
The internet is full of marketable but shallow teachings that feel good but don’t create real transformation.
-
Many people consume books, YouTube videos, or even retreats, yet find that when life gets real, the teachings don’t hold up.
-
True wisdom—rooted in deep, sustained practice—is often lost beneath superficial, commodified versions of ancient traditions.
Our Response: A Retreat That Bridges the Gap
We created this retreat to offer a different path—one that is both authentic and deeply practical. A space where real transformation happens, not by escaping life, but by learning how to meet it fully—embodied, awake, and integrated.
If you’re looking for more than just another retreat—if you’re seeking something real, grounded, and profoundly life-changing—this is for you.

At Oyameles
For the first time, we are offering this profoundly potent retreat in the serenity and natural splendor of the forest surrounding Mexico City.

What’s in This Retreat?
This retreat offers a deep reset for the body, mind, emotions, and nervous system.
Blending non-dual meditation, embodiment, and emotional integration for a grounded, transformative experience.
🧘 Meditation: Resting in Pure Presence
Meditation is both A science and an art. The science of meditation is about application of technique and the insight developed through practice. But the art of meditation is the core of the practice. As an art, meditation is the skillful means of intuitive navigation through the various states of body and mind, eventually landing us home, in the heart.
-
Cultivates a subtle recognition of silence and pure presence beyond mental noise.
-
Discover your true self what you are prior to thoughts and memories**.**
-
Fall in Love with life, exactly as it is, not as you think it to be.
🌿 Subtle Body Practices: Embodied Awareness & Energy Flow
Through a unique approach to postural yoga and a series of somatic explorations, you will discover the subtle/energy body.
-
Develops grounded presence, helping you stay balanced through life’s ups and downs.
-
Increases awareness of mental-emotional patterns and how they manifest in the body.
-
Develop energetic and emotional intelligence and navigate through life with skill and ease
💛 Emotional Digestion: Transforming Energy into Clarity
The physical body digests food in order to become strong and healthy. The emotional/energetic body withers and weakens when we do not know how to embrace, process (digest) and integrate emotional energy.
-
Learn to process emotions as naturally as the body digests food.
-
Prevent emotional overwhelm or suppression-notice signs of stress and self-regulate, long before burnout occurs
-
Proper integration of emotional energy leads to clarity, vitality, and well being.
