alchemy (noun) : a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination


The intrigue of alchemy is that it transforms something of seemingly little value into gold or silver.  Happiness, contentment, peace and joy are the gold of the soul. The  Alchemy of Joy Retreat invites you to step into the subtlety and magic of transformation in a way to transcend current states of being and step into joy.  Without recognizing pain, loss, and disappointment, joy alludes us.  Our thoughts are powerful and so we have the power to achieve the ultimate desire of inner content and joy.  Spend 8 days and 7 nights with Morgan and Casandra to celebrate life, live in the present moment, and subtly transform your state of being. 


Spend the days practicing yoga, eating healthy and delicious food, lounging on the beach, and exploring the sights of Puerto Vallarta. You'll have the chance for self-reflection and nurturing your spirit, laughter and camaraderie with friends, and most importantly time to recharge.

What to Expect

Retreat:  Spend 8 days and 7 nights in paradise.  Each day includes two yoga practices, ample time for rest, relaxation, or adventure.  Recharge in this electronically minimalistic center where you can literally unplug. 


Accommodations:  Choose the room that best fits your budget--from amazing private casitas with plunge pools and ocean views to dorm-style rooms to be shared with friends. 


Sustenance:  Vegetarian and pescatarian options cooked with fresh and local produce will sustain you 3-times a day.  Plus enjoy snacks and water/juice throughout the day.


Travel:  From the Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) take the shuttle service to  the marina where you will take a boat to Xinalani.  Book an arrival flight that lands no later than 4:00 PM and a departure flight that takes off no earlier than 11:00 AM.  Roundtrip transportation is included in your retreat fee.


Activities:  Spend free time relaxing on the beach, kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, or taking an off-site adventure like whale watching or city exploring.
