Facilitated by Stephanie Penilla & Jimena García

5-Day Immersive Experience at Hidden Leaf Baja

📍 Baja California, Mexico | 🗓️ February 27 – March 3, 2025

Max Capacity: 18 Attendees

Reconnect with the Elements Within You

Imagine a journey where the very essence of nature—earth, water, wind, fire, and space—awakens within you. Inspired by the ancient wisdom of Buddhism and indigenous, native wisdom cosmogony, this retreat invites you to explore the elements not as forces outside of us, but as energies that live within. Each day will guide you through meditations, rituals, and practices that harmonize your body, mind, and spirit with the primal forces of nature.

 

Info on the Elements:

🌱 Earth: Represents our physical body, bones, and weight.

🌊 Water: Represents our emotional body, blood, and fluids.

🔥 Fire: Represents our digestive system, energy, and temperature.

🌬️ Wind: Represents our mental body, breath, and thoughts.

🌌 Space: The empty space where the other elements manifest.

 

Who This Retreat Is For:

This retreat is for anyone seeking to harmonize their physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and psychospiritual bodies, with the elements.
