Eugenia will guide participants through a Mayan Riviera and Cancun adventure. You will stay in a beautiful luxury rental home in the secured gated community of Cumbres, Cancun. The house is located within walking distance of a grocery store, coffee shops and restaurants. Breakfasts, lunches and snacks will be included as part of the retreat.
After sunrise yoga and meditation you will be led through a morning of self exploration and conversation into who you are, and where you would like your wellness journey to take you.
The afternoon activities will coordinate with the morning workshop and group work. Evenings will be spent causally with informal discussions on what we have learned about ourselves throughout the day.
Participants will learn to integrate materials/workshops, activities and excursions together with their own self-awareness, discoveries and intuitions. It is with this hope of enhanced learning, obtaining of new tools, and gathering of increased strength, that participants attending the retreat, will walk through their own healing and well-being journey with empowerment, confidence and resilience.
Eugenia is a Master of Social Work Clinician residing and working in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Eugenia loves to travel, explore, dream and create. Eugenia found that the best place and method to do this is by traveling back to her homeland of Mexico. Eugenia has used her time in Mexico for relaxation, warm weather, and taking a break from the hectic pace of her life. During her travels, Eugenia explores life's purpose, set new goals and recalibrates her-"self” and her life. Eugenia quickly realized how effective and helpful these “retreats away” were so she decided that with her combined experiences and clinical expertise she can offer adventures like this to other like-minded people, that may also be interested in creating increased wellness in their life.
Eugenia also offers opportunities for change via her 2hr virtual educational seminars, full day interactive workshops, week-long wellness retreats away as well as by creating customized retreats, seminars and workshops for groups and individuals.

Mexico is as safe as any other major city in the world. However please use common sense and care when venturing out. In saying that Barbara and Eugenia travel around on their own, using public transportation, taxis and buses. The house itself is located in a secure gated community, safe to walk around, jog, or bike. The house itself will be always be locked in evenings and when we are out. There is also a small locked safe within the home for storing small personal belongings.
Doctors and hospitals in the Cancun area, are very affordable and as adept as the Canadian Medical system. However we highly recommend that you have Travel Health Insurance for any major medical events or accidents. Eugenia is fluent in Spanish and would be able to accompany you to assist you with any translating concerns should a medical emergency arise.

Eugenia and Barbara lead a heart-centered, loving retreat
in a beautiful home in a peaceful neighborhood in Cancun.
They pushed me to go out of my comfort zone to grow and
explore new ideas. We experienced a combination of wonderful
cultural experiences with downtime making vision boards and
having girly time as a group chatting and dipping into the pool.
A great way to see the Yucatan on a first trip, or to try new
adventures if returning to the area. Highly recommend.
