Healing The Heart:
Where self love is sacred and softness is power
Tulum, Mexico
Nov 30th - Dec 7th, 2025
If you're ready to stop pretending you're okay, finally lay down the weight you've been carrying, and feel truly seen, supported, and safe in your softness—then join us for 7 nights of deep healing, honest self-discovery, and sacred renewal surrounded by women who get it, so you can go home with tools to put self-love first, ways to manifest a better future, and lifelong connections.
You wake up to the rhythm of the jungle—soft rustling palms and golden sunlight slipping through the windows of your villa. The air smells like earth and something new. No alarms. No buzzing phone. No one needing anything from you. Just quiet. Just breath. Just you. For a moment, you stay there—wrapped in linen sheets, your hand resting over your heart—letting the stillness wash over you. It feels unfamiliar, but sacred. Like your soul is finally exhaling.
You sit up slowly, your bare feet meeting the cool tile floor, and the ground feels steady beneath you in a way that it hasn’t in a long time. The morning air kisses your skin, warm and wild, carrying a hum that feels ancient and alive. All around you is green—lush, untamed, alive with promise. You close your eyes. And for the first time in what feels like forever, you don’t feel the weight of proving or performing. You feel still. Safe. Free.
You breathe in deeply, and something shifts. Not loudly, not dramatically—just a soft, certain knowing: You’re here. And this time, you didn’t abandon yourself to get here. You came home to her. The woman beneath the armor. The one who’s always been waiting for you to return.
You’re not performing here. You’re not pretending. You’re letting go. You’re remembering. You’re finally coming home—to your truth, to your softness, to yourself.
A sacred pause where your pain is honored, your softness is celebrated, and your wholeness is remembered. In the heart of Tulum’s wild beauty, you’ll heal in ways you didn’t know you needed—held by the land, the sisterhood, and your own soul.

The Venue
Tucked within the sacred Mayan jungle just outside Tulum, Mexico, our retreat space is where eco-luxury meets the untouched wild. Built on protected land, every structure is intentionally designed to honor and preserve the surrounding nature, architecture that doesn’t impose, but instead harmonizes with the landscape it lives in.
Each of the four private villas, Earth, Air, Water, and Fire, offers its own elemental energy, blending thoughtful design with elevated comfort. Woven wind chimes sway in the breeze, and sunlight filters gently through the trees from sunrise to dusk, illuminating moments with golden stillness. Every detail speaks to intention.
Nourishing, chef-prepared meals are served at a table perched on a jungle-view balcony creating the feeling of being held by the land itself. It's barefoot elegance: soft linens, organic textures, and service without ever losing connection to the nature around you.
This is a space devoted to the healing of mind, body, and spirit, a sanctuary for women to reconnect with nature, with each other, and with themselves. Rooted in reverence, elevated in experience.
A NOURISHING TASTE OF TULUM
Where every bite grounds you, and every flavor brings you home.
Mornings begin slowly here, with the soft rustle of jungle leaves and the comforting aroma of fresh coffee drifting through the air. You rise to the warmth of the sun and the promise of something delicious waiting just steps away. At the villa’s private dining space, a heartwarming breakfast awaits—fluffy omelets made to order, vibrant açaí bowls topped with tropical fruit, and freshly pressed juices poured over ice, each sip tasting like renewal.
Throughout your stay, every meal is a moment of calm—a pause to savor, to feel held, to come back into your body. Crafted by the world-class Hoja Santa chefs, each dish is prepared with love and intention, using the freshest ingredients from the Yucatán region. Locally grown herbs, sun-ripened vegetables, and spices both bold and subtle come together in meals that feel as healing as they are satisfying.
From beautifully marinated proteins to colorful plant-based dishes and thoughtfully balanced plates, each offering is light enough to nourish you through yoga and ceremony, and grounding enough to support your emotional journey.
This isn’t just food. It’s part of your healing. An invitation to slow down, to taste the moment, to receive. Welcome to your jungle table—where every meal is a soft return to self.
Experiences
1
Tantric Dreamstate Experience
Embark on a journey where hypnosis intertwines with ancient tantric meditations, unveiling a realm of boundless potential. Dive deep into the labyrinth of the mind, where painful past memories dissolve, & future dreams blossom. With a unique fusion of ancient wisdom & mystical manifestation practices, you’ll sculpt your future of empowerment. With new perspectives of grace and vigor, its easy to embrace the process of surrender into self-creation, where desires materialize with a mere whisper. Become the architect of your destiny, learning to seduce the universe with your pure intentions.
2
Temazcal
Sweat out what no longer serves you and awaken your spirit in a traditional Mayan temazcal ceremony—an ancient practice of purification and rebirth. This dome-shaped sweat lodge, made of stone and clay, symbolizes the womb of Mother Earth. Inside, volcanic stones are heated by fire and infused with healing herbs, creating a steam that cleanses the body, clears the mind, and reconnects you with your inner self.
This will be a shared guided ceremony led by a skilled shaman. As the heat rises and the steam envelops you, layers—physical and emotional—begin to soften and release.
More than a detox, the temazcal is a sacred invitation to let go, to breathe deeply, and to remember your strength. You’ll emerge feeling clear, grounded, and renewed—reborn from the inside out.
3
Sound Healing in Cenote
Tibetan-style sound healing in a cenote combines ancient Tibetan sound therapy with the natural beauty and acoustics of a cenote. The practice uses Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and chimes to create soothing vibrations and resonant sounds that are believed to promote relaxation, healing, and inner harmony. The cenote’s natural echo enhances the sound frequencies, enveloping participants in immersive, tranquil tones. This unique setting allows for a deep meditative experience, connecting one with nature and fostering a profound sense of peace and balance.

Hi, I’m Bella—founder of Sage & Sol Retreats—and this space was born from my own healing.
I created this retreat in the middle of my own unraveling. After surviving an abusive relationship and facing a divorce I never imagined, I felt completely lost—like I was suffocating in the weight of depression and self-doubt. I had always been the confident, bubbly, bold one—the one people came to for light. But during that time, I felt small, unseen, and unsure if I’d ever find my way back to myself.
I dove headfirst into healing. Therapy, retreats, travel, breathwork, meditation, crying on the floor, getting back up, and doing it all over again. And somewhere along the way, something beautiful happened: I started inspiring other women. I didn’t even realize it at first. I was just showing up—being honest, being present. But woman after woman told me that being near me made them feel safe, seen, and not so alone. I realized then: this is the work I’m meant to do.
Sage & Sol was built from that calling. It’s a sacred space for women who feel like they’ve lost themselves in heartbreak, self-abandonment, or simply trying to be everything for everyone. I know what it’s like to be in that dark place. And I know what it takes to rise. I hold space from lived experience—with energy that’s bold and warm, powerful and gentle. I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk beside you as you remember who you are.
My story is proof that even after being shattered, you can rebuild something softer, stronger, and more beautiful than ever. You are worthy of choosing yourself. You are allowed to be both healing and whole. And you are not alone—not here. If any part of my story speaks to something inside you—this retreat was made with you in mind. I’d be honored to hold space for your healing. Join me in the jungle, and let’s come home to ourselves together.
-
Is this retreat for me?This retreat is for women seeking healing, clarity, and reconnection—with themselves, their intuition, and their worth. Whether you’re moving through heartbreak, burnout, self-abandonment, or simply feel called to grow in a safe and empowering space, you belong here.
-
What if I’ve never done something like this before?You don’t need any prior experience. Everything is guided and accessible. This is a space for beginners and seasoned seekers alike—what matters most is your willingness to show up for yourself.
-
How can I take time away for a trip that’s this long?We get it—you’re already carrying so much. You’re the one everyone counts on, and the thought of stepping away can feel impossible. But that’s exactly why you need this. Burnout, self-neglect, and emotional exhaustion don’t go away by pushing through—they heal when you pause. This retreat is your invitation to interrupt the cycle, reconnect with yourself, and return home replenished, clear, and grounded. The truth is, when you pour into yourself first, everyone else benefits too. You deserve this time. Your heart deserves this space. And you’re allowed to choose you.
-
What if I can't afford this?This isn’t just a vacation in a beautiful place—it’s an investment in you. A more powerful question might be: how can you afford not to do this? The transformation, healing, and tools you’ll gain during this retreat are designed to support you long after it ends. The workshops, coaching, and inner work are priceless pieces of your lifelong journey back to self-love and wholeness. That said, we understand finances can feel overwhelming, and we never want that to be the reason you miss this opportunity. Payment plans are available, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate your needs. If your heart is saying yes—reach out. Let’s find a way to make it happen.
-
Do I have to participate in everything?Of course not! You are always in control of your own choices and and the experience you have. That being said, every aspect of this journey has been selected and arranged with a greater purpose and mission in mind. It is intended to assist you in the transformation you desire, and you won’t want to miss even a step along the way.
-
I’m coming alone—will I feel out of place?Not at all. Many women come solo and leave with deep, lasting connections. We create a warm, judgment-free space where everyone is welcomed as they are. You’ll be supported from the moment you arrive.
-
I'd like a roommate- how do I arrange that?If you would like to be matched with a roommate, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to pair you with someone else who is also seeking a roommate. Then you’ll have a chance to meet and get to know your fellow travelers during our pre-trip online gatherings. In case there is no one to pair you with, your room will be considered a single, and an additional single occupancy supplement will be added to your retreat fee.
-
What’s the daily schedule like?Expect a mix of movement, guided inner work, group circles, creative practices, nature time, free time and rest. We intentionally design each day to support nervous system regulation, clarity, and embodied empowerment.
-
Can I bring my kids/partner?When diving into the world of energy healing practices and fostering a safe space for vulnerability, it’s best to leave the little ones at home. If your partner is also a woman and exploring this path, they can definitely tag along, but remember they’ll be there as an individual participant – with their own tuition to cover too.
-
Where do I fly into?Cancun or Tulum airport
-
Is it safe to travel to Tulum, Mexico?We understand that safety is a top priority—especially when traveling internationally. Tulum is a popular destination known for its peaceful energy, rich culture, and vibrant wellness community. Like any travel destination, it's important to stay aware and use common sense, but overall, it is considered safe for visitors, especially in retreat settings like ours. Our retreat will be held at a private, secure property in the jungle, with vetted transportation and trusted local partners. We’ll provide you with all the details you need for a smooth, supported, and stress-free experience from the moment you land. You won’t be navigating this alone—we’re with you every step of the way.
-
How does transportation from the airport work?We will have shared shuttles arranged to pick up all guests from the airport and bring you directly to Kaaba Luum. The drive takes about 90 minutes, depending on traffic. If you prefer a more private experience, you're welcome to arrange your own car service. Either way, we’ll make sure you have all the details ahead of time to arrive with ease.
-
Is there Wi-Fi onsite? How can my family contact me?Yes, you will be able to stay connected with your loved ones. Wi-Fi is available through our retreat center. We recommend WhatsApp as the best way to communicate. That being said, the more you can disconnect from your life back home, the better the impact of this transformative experience, so please plan to be “off the grid” as much as possible.
-
Do I need to purchase Travel insurance?Yes, we always require travel insurance that includes trip cancellation and medical coverage. You never know what can happen that could prevent you from traveling – you want to protect your travel investment. Be sure to read the fine print, as policies can differ greatly. It’s best to include a “cancel for any reason clause.”
-
What is the weather like?December is one of the best times to visit Tulum. Expect warm, tropical weather with average daytime highs around 82–86°F (28–30°C) and cooler evenings around 68–72°F (20–22°C). The humidity starts to ease up this time of year, and while the occasional short rain shower is possible, this marks the beginning of the dry season—so sunshine is in your favor. Mornings and evenings tend to feel soft and refreshing. We do recommend bringing mosquito repellent or light layers for dusk, and a thin rain jacket, just in case.
-
Is the water safe to drink?No, but there will be water stations at the retreat center as well as pitchers of water in your room.
-
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?Mexican cuisine offers a diverse range of vegetarian and vegan dishes, making it easy for us to cater to your dietary preferences. Simply inform us in advance, and we’ll take care of the rest!
-
What should I pack for the retreat?Think ease, comfort, and softness. You'll want lightweight, breathable clothing for warm days in the jungle—flowy dresses, yoga sets, swimwear, and sandals are perfect. Bring a light sweater or shawl for the cooler mornings and evenings. A journal, water bottle, sun hat, and sunscreen are essentials. We also recommend bug repellent for the jungle setting, 1-2 outfits you feel your best in for ceremonies and one all-white outfit for ceremony night. Most importantly, pack with intention—this is a space to reconnect with yourself, so bring what helps you feel grounded, comfortable, and you.
