Embark on a soul enriching journey at Mar De Jade  April 13-20, 2024 for a spiritually transformative retreat guided by the loving presence of Sandra Vanatko and Jenny Reitz. Awaken to your True Nature through the power of breath.  Join us on this immersive odyssey into the profound realm of spirituality. Over the course of the week, you’ll explore the timeless wisdom of ancient practices, including Pranayama, meditation, Yoga, Healing Breathwork sessions, and the art of being fully present in the sacred moment.

About the Retreat

Embark on a profound journey into the transformative power of breath and presence with us. Throughout this extraordinary week, you’ll immerse yourself in the ancient art of Pranayama, delving deep into the subtle rhythms and energies that reside within every inhale and exhale. But this retreat is about more than just breath; it’s about the profound potential of being fully present in each and every moment. Discover the Key to Lasting Peace:  Through presence, our breath and body become gateways to our true nature – an essence that is inherently whole. This understanding is the ultimate key to lasting peace and contentment in life. Throughout the week, you’ll engage in a rich tapestry of experiences, including: thoughtful lectures, Pranayama and meditation, a variety of yoga styles (hatha, vinyasa, kundalini), Healing Breathwork, Connection with nature, Somatic movement and dance, and Self-inquiry.  This retreat is a unique opportunity to awaken your inner wisdom, explore your essence, and find lasting peace and contentment. Join us as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

 

In addition to the captivating rhythm of our retreat, prepare to indulge in:

 

**The Elements:** Immerse yourself in the embrace of the radiant sun, the softness of the golden sand beneath your feet, and the soothing symphony of the ocean waves.

 

**Culinary Delights:** Savor a delectable array of nourishing, healthy, and lovingly prepared meals that will not only satisfy your palate but also nurture your well-being.

 

**Heartfelt Connections:** Discover the joy of forming meaningful connections with fellow retreat-goers. Whether you’re seeking a practice partner, silent companionship by the ocean’s edge, or delightful moments of laughter and friendship over shared meals, you’ll find kindred spirits eager to connect and share in this journey of discovery.

 

Join us in this immersive experience where the elements, culinary delights, and heartwarming connections await to enrich your soul.

What Others Have to Say

If you’re looking for a life-changing experience, This Is It!!!

 

I went on this retreat not knowing anyone else that was going, and I had never been on a yoga retreat. I left with some great new friendships and ready to sign up for my next retreat. It by far was better than what I could have imagined.

 

The location in Mexico is beautiful, friendly, safe, and the sweetest little town. The retreat center is clean, peaceful, has the nicest staff, the best organic food, and beautiful beaches and pools. My room overlooked the ocean and was great for meditation and a nice place to reflect on the feelings and emotions that arose.

 

Sandra and the Indra’s Grace staff think of everything to make the experience one you will never forget. Sandra picked out the perfect music, settings, movement, activities, and verbiage to encourage you to release that which no longer serves you and to receive the most loving and peaceful moments to be held. You are able to BE in this retreat with no judgement or expectations and have the experience that is perfect for YOUR needs.

 

If you’re on the fence about going, don’t be. DO IT. You will not regret it. You will forever be changed.

Health and Safety Information

For over 40 years, Mar de Jade’s mission has been in service of the health and wellbeing of our community. During these times of  COVID-19, we are equally committed to ensuring the safety of our staff and visitors. At the start of the pandemic we closed our doors for over 4 months and during this time have dedicated ourselves to researching, designing and implementing an enhanced hygiene and safety protocol in line with the latest information released by the Mexican Health Authorities and the World Health Organization. Upon review of our protocol and extensive staff training, we have been granted the WTTC’s Safe Travels stamp, and official approval by the Nayarit State Government and the Mexican Health & Social Services Institute (IMSS) to re-open.

Vaccines

We are happy to report that the vaccine rollout in Mexico has now been extended to all adults (18 yrs+) and all of our staff is fully vaccinated. We highly recommend guests be fully vaccinated before traveling. Although vaccines are encouraged – both vaccinated and non-vaccinated guests are welcome. Thank you for doing your part to help keep everyone safe.

Mar de Jade COVID-19 Protocols

In the following link you can read more about the specific Health and Safety Protocols observed by Mar de Jade.

Covid Test No Longer Required to Re-Enter US

Travel Insurance

As of 2021, there is no legal requirement to purchase travel insurance in order to visit Mexico. No one will ask you to show proof of insurance at the border, and the Mexican government does not mandate travelers to have insurance. However, we do highly encourage you to purchase travel insurance which can include trip cancellation protection, flight cancellation, rental car protection, emergency medical coverage, and theft protection as Indra’s Grace and Mar de Jade are not responsible for any of these things.
