IKAL is a safe place to explore your intrinsic spirituality, re-create yourself, and create the person you wish to become. Our essence is community and connection. We are experienced creators and facilitators of timeless moments.

Protecting Mother Nature is of the utmost importance to us. The IKAL community safeguards and honors ancestral teachings to ensure we awaken the past, live the present, and embrace the future. We are committed to preserving our elders' practices and rituals that enrich our souls as we cultivate a healthy relationship with our surroundings.

We share a space with other communities whose values we admire.
Join the IKAL community today and embrace all that you are.

OUR PURPOSE

IKAL RETREATS seek to create transforming experiences with respect for ourselves and those around us. We wish to support and enrich your vision, contributing with ideal venues located in sacred sites with areas, a community of teachers, facilitators, Mayan Elders, musicians, and all the support to create an enriching and seamless retreat.

Through our Retreats, we share and deepen our spiritual path to elevate our community and create integrated and multi-faceted experiences where the heart awakens, the mind quiets, the body heals, and the soul soars.

THE EXPERIENCE

Take a deep breath as you hear the awakening call of the conch—the alignment of the sea tide or the jungle air with every breath you take. IKAL welcomes you to begin a series of days dedicated to self-awareness and inspiration.

Synchronize your breath and your thoughts with the nature that surrounds you. The clarity of this exercise will allow you to experience the retreat's activities and practices in beautiful shalas, gardens, sacred fires, circles of word, and other natural areas that facilitate introspection and growth.

The IKAL community retreat's privileged locations at Tulum and Chichen Itzá allow nature's beauty and harmony to synchronize with those who choose to experience an immersion of the self. Momentum is created in every breath, step, and experience embarked at IKAL. Open your mind to an experience that will perpetuate and embrace your true self as you return to your daily life.

Radiant Power of Women

  • Yoga

    At IKAL, yoga is practiced daily, as the IKAL community focuses on connection, relaxation, and reflection. The perfect blend of physical and mental exercises to help you deepen your connection to self and the universe.

  • Cacao Ceremony

    Cacao helps restore equilibrium in our thoughts, spirit, and physical body. A Sacred Plant, cacao helps rebalance the energies within us and restore good health.

  • Temazcal

    Temazcal represents Mother Nature's womb, an ancient mesoamerican practice to purify mind, body, and spirit based on the body's ability to sweat. The benefits of this ritual are infinite. Since ancient times, this practice has been used to cure cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and dermatological diseases.

  • Sacred Fire

    The perpetuation of the sacred fire to resemble the fire within. At IKAL, we create the spiritual connection between nature's elements as their resemblance with the self. We gather around the sacred fire to share words, ceremonies and open communication with one's higher self and relation to others.

  • Women's and Men’s Circles

    Our ancestors believed in the balance of energies. Our personality dictates the balance of feminine and masculine energy. The women’s and men’s circles are a gathering to share their compassion, power, and wisdom. The experience includes meditation, therapeutic group activities, and a chance to redirect the hegemonic narrative.

  • Sound healing

    A form of healing that focuses on different vibrations to heal the mind, body, and soul. The focus on each emotion having a specific frequency, sound healing aids in preventing and unlocking emotions to eliminate diseases.

  • Conch Calling

    The calling of the conch is a graceful way to wake up and redirect your day into a blissful and mindful journey. It is also a calling for Mother Earth, our ancestor’s blessing, and our soul’s awakening.

  • One-on-One Sessions

    Copal cleanses, hot stone massage, readings, and other therapeutic or inspiring private sessions.
