Join us in Tulum, Mexico for a week of fun, community, and contemplation of the great mystery of human interrelatedness
with the Earth, Sky and Sea.

Maya Tulum is on the Yucatan Peninsula and is close to Cancun. The retreat center is famed for it’s peerless location on white sand beaches, gourmet organic vegetarian and seafood dishes, and also for it’s spacious and inspiring Yogashala and beautiful, traditional Palapa-style accomodations. Maya Tulum is in the vicinity of the Mayan citadels or Tulum and Coba, which we will visit on two excursions.
