Who We Are

Retreat Maia designs intentional experiences that help individuals and teams slow down, reconnect, and remember what matters. Rooted in the concept of māyā, the veil that clouds our clarity, we create nourishing spaces where distraction gives way to presence, and deeper connection becomes possible.

    Autumn Equinox Cacao Ceremony

    The Autumn Equinox is a powerful time to honor the harvest in our lives, release what no longer serves us, and embrace the natural changes that come with the turning season.

    Join Leah and Madi as we celebrate the Autumn Equinox with an evening of cacao, yoga, meditation, and connection. This is an opportunity to align with the rhythms of nature and the warmth of community as we welcome the shift into autumn.

    Allow this space to guide you back to your heart, where stillness gives rise to clarity. Leave feeling nourished, aligned, and ready to move forward with intention.

    WHAT TO EXPECT

    Cacao Ceremony: We’ll begin by sharing a ceremonial cup of cacao. This sacred plant medicine softens the heart, supports intention-setting, and deepens our connection to ourselves and each other.

    Yoga: A gentle, heart-opening yoga practice to create spaciousness and ease in the body, and prepare the mind for meditation.

    Guided Meditation & Journalling: We’ll journey inward to connect with the wisdom of your heart. What messages arise from within? What intentions do you wish to nurture and carry forward into the coming months?

    Sharing Circle: We’ll close the evening in a grounding circle to reflect on our experiences and share any insights.

    Plant-based snacks and tea will be provided.

    Everyone is welcome! No prior experience with cacao, yoga or meditation is needed. 

    Limited spaces available. Reserve your spot today!

    Feel free to bring a meaningful object to place on our communal altar. This is a token that symbolizes your intentions for the season ahead.

In their words…

A beige background with a circular pattern of small designs

I went to my first yoga retreat with Retreat Maia, and I already can't wait for the next. I had recently realized I needed some solitude and quiet in my life, after raising 3 kids for over a decade and working in Healthcare at a high stress job. This retreat was pressure free, I felt encouraged to be alone if needed and my inner journey was respected, but I was also able to easily connect and attend classes and activities when I felt called to. If you want some pressure free time to look in-ward and also meet some amazing people on a similar path, this is the retreat for you. The yoga was gentle and the guided meditation the perfect lengths.

You guys are very talented yoga teachers and create a space and an energy that I loved. I never really had a "yoga community" and I felt like I really belonged to one all weekend. The music, poses, meditations, and the assistance helped transport my mind, body, and spirit, which is what I was hoping for. I also loved that we had free time, and everything was optional so I could create a unique experience for myself.

The location was such a good choice and helped me feel connected to myself, nature, and the other guests of the retreat. All of the planning and details, from the morning drinks and snacks before classes provided, to the journal prompts, the incredible yoga shala where we practiced

You both did an amazing job! The weekend combined the spiritual, physical, and mental aspects and the venue complemented that nicely.
