What people are saying:
"De Tierra retreat organized by Olissa and Tessa was truly amazing. I plan to attend any retreat these two phenomenal women dream up. Olissa's dance and pilates instruction is top notch, I left feeling so alive in my body. Tessa's yoga classes left me feeling so grounded and aligned both mentally and physically. Our meditation and journaling practices I have brought home with me, and will continue to lean on. From the nurturing organic food, majestic sunrises, incredible sea life and the crystal clear waters of Mexico, I felt like I was in pure paradise bliss. This is a must-do retreat for anyone looking to find deeper connection with self, the land and other like-minded women. I already booked my spot for next year."
-Jamah
"I absolutely loved the retreat and can't wait to go again! Everything was absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for putting together such an amazing experience for us all!"
-Dana
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your retreat felt like a long, full embrace!!
Personal highlights:
AFRO DANCE EVERY DAY. The West African class with drummers was super special! (Of course, I loved it ALL.)
IYENGAR YOGA. So detailed, so precise! I learned a bit that feels foundational, and feel there is so much more I would like to understand in this system.
Baja in general and the view from our perch!
Paddleboarding and swimming in the vermillion sea and seeing coral and tropical fish from the board!
OMG THE FOOD. Josie was begging the chef to write a cookbook. (I'd want to buy one, myself.)
The longer days and heat--YES YES YES, etc.
Getting to know some of my local "embodied" women better. I am signing up again next year! I need to see that sunrise! I will bring my snorkel gear!"
