Whether seaside or dockside, this is your peaceful sanctuary—where breath meets beauty, and movement becomes meditation. You’ll leave each session feeling centered, refreshed, and ready to carry this presence into your day and beyond.
 

We begin our journey together with a sacred act of remembrance—creating a traditional Día de los Muertos altar as a circle. We will share the history and the cultural expression of this celebration. 

This ritual is more than decoration; it’s a way to connect deeply with our roots, honor the lives that shaped us, and celebrate the eternal bond between the living and the departed. As we build together—placing marigolds, lighting candles, offering favorite foods, and arranging cherished photos—we create space for both memory and magic.

You’re invited to bring a photo or token of a loved one to place on the altar. As stories are shared and incense rises, this sacred space becomes a bridge: between past and present, sorrow and joy, spirit and celebration.

This is where we begin—grounded in gratitude, connected in lineage, and ready to rise with intention.

Because when we honor where we come from, we walk forward with more power, more presence, and more love.

Today, we journey into the heart of Mexico’s most soulful tradition with a visit to the Colonia 5 de Diciembre Cemeteryin Puerto Vallarta. Surrounded by vibrant marigolds, flickering candles, and the sound of music and laughter, we’ll witness families lovingly honoring their departed with offerings, altars, and shared memories.

This sacred space is alive with connection—a powerful reminder that love transcends time, space, and even death itself.

In the evening, we’ll stroll along the stunning Malecón (seawall) for the Day of the Dead parade, where the energy turns electric with art installations, music, street vendors, face painting, and joyful celebration. It's a moving contrast of reverence and radiance, where the veil is thin, and the heart is wide open.

I am so honored to share this experience with you—one that most travelers miss, but I believe is life-shifting. If we can begin to see that we are eternally connected through love, we can release our fear of loss and instead live from a place of deep joy, remembrance, and peace.

You may walk away with marigold petals on your shoes, but you’ll carry eternal love in your heart.

Pack your curiosity and your sense of adventure—because we’ve got a special surprise planned just for you.

Will it be a boat ride to a quiet cove near Yelapa? A salsa lesson that gets your hips moving and your spirit glowing? A beach day in Sayulita or Punta Mita, or a wander through the colorful streets of old town? Wherever we go, you can trust it will be soulful, scenic, and sprinkled with joy.

The details are a secret for now—but know this: it will be the kind of day that feeds your heart and leaves you smiling for weeks.

This is more than a bucket-list moment—it’s a heart-awakening encounter with pure joy.

Glide alongside Pacific Bottlenose dolphins in a respectful, enriching experience that invites you to reconnect with wonder, playfulness, and the intelligence of nature. Guided by marine specialists who honor the dolphins’ well-being and wisdom, this sacred swim offers more than a splash—it offers perspective.

Let their grace remind you how to move through life with ease. Let their presence open your heart to the beauty of connection—beyond species, beyond words. You may enter the water a traveler… but you’ll leave it transformed.

On our final evening together, we’ll set sail into the sunset—cradled by the sea and held in the glow of the full moon.

As the golden sun dips below the horizon, the luminous full moon will rise to greet us, casting silver light across the ocean and illuminating everything we’ve become. It’s a breathtaking reminder that every ending carries the seed of something new.

We’ll share laughter, stories, and soul reflections beneath the stars—honoring the sacred sisterhood we’ve built and the transformation we’ve witnessed. A light dinner will be served on board as we soak in the beauty of the night and the connections we’ve made.

Let the wind carry your intentions, the waves hold your memories, and the moonrise remind you of your own inner light. This is not goodbye—it’s a radiant send-off into whatever magic comes next.
