STORIES

THEY CAME FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.

Some arrived knowing exactly why they were coming.

​

Others arrived with questions, uncertainty, curiosity, or simply the sense that something in their life was ready for attention.

​

No two experiences were the same.

These are some of their stories.

"From the moment I arrived, they created a space that felt incredibly safe, intentional, and deeply nurturing—allowing me to fully let go and go further into my healing than I thought possible."

Camille

RECONNECTION TO NATURE & HERSELF

“I left feeling reconnected—to myself, to nature, and to my spiritual practice in a way that feels real and lasting.”
 

Camille arrived having already spent years doing deep personal and trauma work. What surprised her was how the different parts of the retreat came together—the practices, environment, food, medicine, relationship, and daily rhythm.

 

What stayed with her most was what happened afterward.She didn't simply leave with insights. She left with a plan for carrying them into her life.

 

“That level of care made the experience feel complete, not just powerful in the moment.”

Scott & Robert

GOING DEEPER. TOGETHER.

Scott and Robert didn't come because something was wrong.

 

They came because they wanted to step outside ordinary life and give their relationship their full attention.

​

Their retreat made room for connection, individual reflection, intimacy, laughter, and shared experience.

​

They weren't trying to fix their relationship. They came to discover what else might be possible together.

Ben

HAPPY TO BE HERE

Ben came to Puerto Vallarta after a year of searching. Therapy. Journaling. Meditation. Psychology. Spirituality. Meaning.
 

He was also analytical, skeptical, and nervous about entering practices and traditions that were unfamiliar to him.
 

Some parts of the retreat challenged him. Some made him uncomfortable. And some opened doors he hadn't been able to reach through thinking alone.

 

"Throughout the retreat I felt safe, respected, and supported, even when discussing deeply personal struggles."
 

By the end of the week, he didn't leave claiming to have figured everything out. He left with something quieter.
 

“I don't feel like I suddenly have all the answers, but I do feel more connected to myself and more open to the life I'm living.”

​

“I'm still Ben, but I'm happy to be me. I'm happy to be living life.”

Ron

HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Ron had never attended a wellness retreat or participated in a ceremony.
 

He arrived apprehensive after years of traditional psychotherapy and a long period of feeling lost, afraid, angry, and disconnected from himself.
 

The week brought him into practices he had never experienced before—devotion, mantra, yoga, ceremony, nourishing food, and a different rhythm of living.
 

“With each day, I could feel myself healing from the inside out.”
 

What he remembers most is the feeling of being supported while moving through something he had been afraid to enter.
 

He went home carrying something he thought he had lost: his smile.

Eric

RECLAIMING HIS LIGHT

Eric came longing to reconnect with his spiritual life.

​

His retreat included intentional food, yoga, mantra, temazcal, ceremony, earth medicine, and time devoted to listening inward.

​

The experience became an opportunity to encounter emotional and spiritual weight he had carried for years.

​

“For the first time in what feels like forever, I allowed my true self to emerge—vulnerable, radiant, and free.”

​

"The Merkaba Retreat gave me the space, the support, and the sacred tools to reclaim my light. I return home with an open heart, a reawakened soul, and immense gratitude for this deeply healing journey."

Drebo

LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE

"My time at Merkaba Retreats was nothing short of life-changing. I experienced profound healing, clarity, and a deep remembrance of who I truly am."

 

"The sacred space, guided ceremonies, and beautiful community held me through transformation I didn’t even know I was ready for."

THEIR STORIES ARE THEIRS.

A retreat doesn't come with a promised outcome.

What happened for these guests belongs to them.

​

Your experience will be your own.

​

You don't need to arrive looking for transformation. You don't need to know what will happen. You don't even need to know exactly what you're looking for.

​

You only need somewhere to begin.
