THE LOCATION

Tulum Beach

Where the Mayan jungle meets the Caribbean Sea

Set in the heart of the ancient Mayan world, Tulum offers a unique blend of spiritual energy and natural beauty. Surrounded by lush jungle and the pristine Caribbean sea, this sacred land has been a place of healing and transformation for centuries. Its rich cultural history, crystal-clear cenotes, and tranquil beaches make Tulum the perfect destination for those seeking renewal, connection, and a deeper sense of purpose.

The Wellness Project started as a dream to create a space for like-minded individuals to share experiences, inspire each other, and grow. In 2020, that dream became a reality with our first gathering an intimate group of yogis in a stunning paradise. The goal was simple: to foster an environment where personal growth and connection could thrive.

With intimate social spaces, treehouse guest rooms and a beautiful open air Yoga shala, it’s the perfect homebase for those looking for a peaceful stay on Tulum beach.

Perched on the pristine Caribbean coast, the property provides breathtaking views of crystal-clear waters and lush jungle landscapes. Located just minutes from the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum, our retreat sanctuary is enveloped by the region’s natural wonders, from hidden beaches to abundant wildlife.

The Practices

At the heart of our Conscious Connection retreats is movement, sound, mysticism, connection and energy.

Your experienced hosts, Markandeya and our wellness collaborators will guide you through their own unique classes and workshops weaving in music, philosophy, breath work, meditation, sound healing and adventure.

  • Move your body, free your mind. Freedom Flow is a creative and dynamic Vinyasa yoga. Expect a liberating journey of movement, music and meditation. Each class will move through an intelligent series of postures designed to stretch and strengthen the physical body, calm the mind and release stagnant emotional energy. You will be dropped into a deep state of flow and emerge feeling balanced, calm and restored. Step out of your comfort zone. Remember your potential. Grow your yoga practice.

  • Peace Portal is a blend of yin postures, calming breath work and sound healing enhanced by Reiki energy healing. Through deep release yin, introspection and stillness we will calm the nervous system, observe the mind, release tension in the body and reconnect to our inherent feminine energy; that which is surrendered, receptive, and at peace with just being. This class will leave you feeling like you’re floating on a cloud.

  • Rhythm Release is part dance party, part moving meditation, part space of radical self expression. A movement practice to shake and shift anything stagnant or stuck in our physical body. Release your fears and connect to your inner rhythm and the rhythm of the universe. Explore your body, shift emotions, feel into your life force, scream, laugh, and come home to your earthly temple.

  • Our Cacao ceremonies offer a unique spiritual journey deeply rooted in ancient Mesoamerican practices. These rituals, focusing on intentions, gratitude, and consciousness, allow personal transformation and spiritual awakening.

    For the Mayans, cacao was more than just a treat; it was a sacred element they revered for its ability to connect them to the divine.

  • RETREAT TESTIMONIALS

    "Took my first yoga retreat to Mexico with The Wellness Project, and it exceeded my expectations. Everything was very organized, had a thematic yoga theme/message, and target area for every class. If there were things the group members wanted to do, it was taken into account to ensure everyone was happy. I was not sure about sharing a room with someone I have never met, but the organizers did an excellent job pairing me up with another woman my age. It was a great experience and I look forward to going on future retreats with this group. Forever grateful for the yoga tribe that came together."
