Awaken in Sayulita
Solstice Awakening | A Yoga Journey of Renewal
June 24 - 30th, 2025 | Sayulita, Mexico
Awaken. Renew. Transform.
Imagine a week of deep restoration, reconnection, and expansion—a sacred pause from daily life to align with the rhythms of nature and your highest self.
As the Solstice aligns with an exalted Jupiter in Cancer, conjunct the New Moon in Cancer, we enter a powerful portal of renewal and expansion. This is the moment to pause, realign, and embrace new opportunities with clarity and presence.
Set in the breathtaking coastal sanctuary of Sayulita, Mexico, this retreat offers a space to reconnect—practicing yoga overlooking the ocean, meditating with the whispers of the jungle, and savoring thoughtfully prepared meals that nourish body and soul.
This retreat is an intimate, high-touch experience designed for those ready to reset, recharge, and reconnect at the highest level.

Why this time, this place?
Sayulita, Nayarit, where the jungle meets the ocean holds a sacred power enhanced by the Solstice Sun and the New Moon in her potency in Cancer who will be with Jupiter, a consciousness exalted in Cancer. In this space time, Jupiter elevates cosmic blessings and opportunities for spiritual connection, wisdom, joy, and expansion in different areas of our lives. This retreat creates a container for you to fully receive, deeply renew, and sail out with inner clarity and knowing.
A Portal of Light – The Solstice marks the peak of the sun’s power, illuminating new paths and personal expansion. Here, in the vibrant energy of Nayarit, we align with this radiant force to step into renewal.
Ocean Renewal – The Pacific waves in this region mirror our inner tides, offering deep cleansing and rejuvenation. The presence of Jupiter in Cancer, the sign of the moon, spiritual wisdom and source-blessings, amplifies this, making it a moment for profound coming home to self. As Jupiter travels with the new moon in Cancer, this retreat offers us the ability to connect on a deeper level with our inner wisdom, spiritual connection, and ultimately expansion.
The Jungle’s Ancient Wisdom – The lush jungle represents untamed growth and transformation, re-awakening the senses to life, life-force, nature, joy, play, and the natural medicine of mother earth.
Sacred Indigenous Energy – The land carries the wisdom of the Huichol (Wixarika) people, who honor the sun and the elements in profound ways. The Solstice has long been a portal for healing, manifestation, and spiritual realignment.
2025 marks a turning point—a year of transition and deep shifts in personal and collective cycles. At the same time, the retreat falls at a key moment in this cosmic unfolding, offering you the space to integrate retrogrades and endings and welcome new beginnings with clarity, intention, and grace. This is the cosmic moment and setting for taking sacred pause to flow with presence into the next chapters of abundance and opportunity coming to you this year.

Dearest,
I am truly honored to invite you to join me this Summer Solstice—a time when the sun is high, and cosmic energies offer healing, illumination, and expansion.
2025 is a pivotal year of new beginnings. Cycles from the past 20, 10, 7, and 3 years are closing, while powerful new timelines emerge. I am deeply excited—not only to witness these shifts on a global scale but to support you in navigating them with clarity, intention, and presence.
This retreat is designed to offer you space to reset, reconnect, and receive—to retreat into nature with purpose, to move through yoga with awareness, to dive deeper into the Dharma, and to align yourself with the profound energies of this moment for your highest good and self.
I chose this time with great intention. It is a portal for integration, reflection, and self-realignment, where you can embrace the simple, yet most powerful gifts: nature, community, practice, and presence.
I look forward to sharing this sacred journey with you.
With love and light,

Guest Experiences & Testimonials
“My experience with Anahata’s Inner Radiance Retreat was, in a few words, expansive, revelatory, restorative, and clearing. Before this experience, I had never gone on a yoga retreat, or any retreat for that matter. As a small business owner in my second year of operation, there were a lot of stressors and mental blocks clouding my mind. Before the retreat, I was unaware of the severity of the fight-or-flight state I was living in day to day. Through my experience in the retreat, I was able to connect more deeply with my center and my purpose, discovering what it means to live in trust.
From the beginning, Victoria was an incredibly welcoming and caring facilitator. She not only organized standout meals with a local chef but arranged a set of truly transformative bodyworkers to care for us all and offer internal and external healing. Yoga sessions and noble silence each morning really created a container for reflection and restoration of the nervous system. In the parts of the day where we got to explore the gorgeous landscape, Victoria held space for sacred connection to self and nature.
I can’t thank Victoria and Anahata enough for this profound and life-changing experience. I’m more at peace internally and more successful externally from all that I was able to learn during this week. Don’t hesitate to join her on any future retreats.”
— Haley, Inner Radiance Retreat Maui, Hawaii Guest
“My experience with Victoria as a facilitator and guide was excellent. Victoria is powerful in her ability to hold space with depth and focus. I am also continually grateful for her love, kindness and care. The nature with which she tended and served each and every participant is powerful.
The schedule and program offerings were wonderfully laid out, great balance with free/down time and program structure. Loved how the offerings built on each other. Loved so much of the offerings, last meal, sun yoga energy movement teaching, restorative yoga with bowls and gong bath. Fire ceremony was super strong medicine, circular breathing journey was mind-bending. The final meal was such an awesome experience. Loved the pace and the food.
The days of the retreat felt long and spacious which I am thankful for. I also had a tremendous experience with the group of people that came. There was a kindness and openness that each person brought that made things comfortable and filled with ease. I had a powerful transformative experience which I am still sorting through. I feel that having the space and opportunity to take a short break from my life and from eating allowed me to have some glimpses into my future self as I battle to let go a past trappings and tend the foundations of that which is emerging.”

I will guide you through yoga as a moving meditation—a loving ritual, a supportive space, adance with the elements.
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, the program meets you where you are, offering sanctuary, self-reflection, and opportunities for growth and inner radiance.

In Sanskrit, "Hatha" signifies the union of "Ha" (moon) and "Tha" (sun), representing the balance of duality within, the creative, receptive, the divine feminine and masculine energies, as well as the ida and pingala nadis, within us. Hatha Vinyasa yoga guides us toward harmony by aligning these dual energies, creating unity in body, mind, and spirit. Practicing yoga in nature amplifies this balance, as the natural elements mirror these universal forces and provide a deeply restorative environment for healing and transformation.
Together, we will honor the sacred cycles of the sun and moon, harnessing the vibrant solar energies of the solstice while aligning with the rhythms of nature. I will lead you through mindful practices so that you can tap into the wisdom of these great luminaries, integrating their gifts your sacred process of personal growth and evolution.
Our program will include:
Sunrise Intention Setting
Solar Flow Yoga Practice and Harnessing the 5 Pranic Winds
Sacred Fire Ceremonies at Sunset
New Moon Ocean Blessing Ritual
Moonlit Meditation and Reiki Sound Healing
Satya Sharing Circle and Deepening Knowledge of the Dharma
