PRIMAL ALIGNMENT:
AUTUMN EQUINOX RETREAT

Rewild your body. Realign your life.

September 20-26, 2025

Feel off balance?  Stuck?

Like you’re just going through the motions?

This is your call to return to your center—to your breath, your body, your power.

Modern life disconnects us. We overthink. We overextend. We numb out. But deep inside, your primal self is waiting—anchored in strength, guided by rhythm, and wired for purpose.

At the turning point of the Fall Equinox, when day and night come into balance, we invite you to do the same. Join us on the shores of Mahahual, Mexico for a one week journey to reconnect with your body, reclaim your energy, and reset your life from the inside out.

Picture Yourself:  Your mind is clear and you feel a sense of peace as you climb out of an ice bath, power flowing through your veins.

In front of you, the gentle waves of the ocean whisper songs of relaxation.  You are ready to build your strength and connect with your purpose in an animal flow session.  Around you, a group of professionals eager to rediscover clarity  and purpose share in the anticipation, each one ready to make a shift in their life.

During this week, you’ll push yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually to realign with your center, detox from digital life, clear your head of  distractions, and  transform your life. All while being surrounded by the beauty of nature, savoring  delicious, nourishing meals, and soaking up every magical moment in this tropical paradise.

We invite you on this unique adventure — step into an experience that will transform the way you live in your body and lead your life..

You’ve been pushing through. Hustling. Holding it all together. But somewhere along the way, you lost connection—to your body, your purpose, your inner compass.

This retreat is for you if you feel:

  • Disconnected from your body

  • Numb, anxious, or stuck in your head

  • Burned out or going through the motions

  • Longing for clarity, vitality, and direction

  • Ready for change but not sure where to start

 

At the turning point of the Fall Equinox, when nature resets into balance, we invite you to do the same. This retreat is your chance to come home to yourself—to reconnect with your primal instincts, regulate your nervous system, and get crystal clear on what truly matters.

Travel

Mahai is located in Mahahual, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

 

The Tulum Airport (TQO)  is the closest International airport to Mahai.  We work with a shuttle company that travels from Tulum to Mahahual.  We can help arrange transportation from Tulum with you after you have registered for the retreat. 

You can also fly in to Cancun (CUN), a 5 to 6  hour drive to Mahai or the domestic airport in Chetumal (CTM), a 2 hour drive to Mahai.  You will need to make your own travel arrangements from these airports.

  • How do you assign roommates?
    When you register, we ask if you have a preferred roommate. If you don't, we do our best to pair you with someone of the same gender who we feel will be a good match for you. If you have special requests, you can let us know in advance.
  • Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
    Yes, we have a wonderful chef who is able to take care of many dietary restrictions. Please be sure to include them in your registration process. It is very important that you state your allergies comprehensively. If the list of things you can’t eat is long, we may ask you for a list of things you can eat instead. Please be advised: Although we do our best to accommodate dietary preferences, our kitchen handles common allergens such as nuts, gluten, and soy. We cannot guarantee the complete absence of cross-contamination.
  • What should I pack?
    While we provide excellent toiletries and most essentials for your stay, here are a few items we suggest bringing with you: Reusable water bottle Bathing suit Sunglasses Water shoes (beaches are rocky) Sun hat Reef-safe sunscreen Lightweight raincoat or poncho Items to Avoid Bringing: As a fully solar-powered property, we prioritize electricity conservation to ensure everyone has sufficient power for their essential needs, like charging phones and laptops. Please refrain from bringing electrical items such as hairdryers and coffee machines. (Rechargeable cordless hair dryers and hair curlers are fine.)
  • Can I send text messages while in Mexico?
    Depending on your phone provider, text messages may or may not work. In Mexico, WhatsApp is the preferred method for text communication and it works on WiFi when there is no phone reception. We use WhatsApp for on-site communication while at Mahai. We recommend downloading the app to your phone, as it will greatly facilitate communication regarding airport pickups and during your stay at the retreat center.
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    CANCELLATION POLICY: -If you cancel your registration more than 30 days before the retreat begins , your payment will be refunded less $50 processing fee per ticket. -If you cancel your registration between 30 and 15 days of the retreat's start date, we will refund 50% of your payment. -15 days before the retreat starts, all payments are final and will not be refunded. - Refunds take us up to 15 days to process.
  • Can I drink the tap water?
    Do NOT drink the tap water anywhere in Mexico. Each of our rooms is equipped with a 20-liter purified water jug for drinking, brushing your teeth, and rinsing. As an off-grid property, we collect water from rain for the showers and sinks, so our water is safer than regular tap water, but we still highly recommend using the purified water provided for anything you might ingest.
  • Do you have internet?
    Yes, we offer Wi-Fi in every room, as well as in the restaurant and beach areas, ensuring you can stay connected with your loved ones at all times.
  • Where do I fly in?
    We highly recommend flying to Tulum Airport (TCM) as it is the closest airport to Mahai. Our shuttle partners are most convenient driving from Tulum. The second best options would be Chetumal (CTM) or Cancún (CUN). We can help you coordinate ground transportation from all three airports.
  • How do I book a ride from the airport?
    On Arrival Day, we offer one or two shuttle options from Tulum Airport to Mahai. Our group shuttles are organized to accommodate guests arriving around the same time, ensuring you won’t wait more than two hours for your ride. The cost for the group shuttle ranges from $60 to $100 USD, depending on the number of bookings. Alternatively, we also offer a private car service that can pick you up at your arrival time. This option is suitable for one to three passengers, and the cost ranges from $250 to $300 USD. If you have any questions or need further assistance for travel from other airports, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
  • Do I need travel insurance?
    Yes, you must get travel insurance for this retreat. In case of anything unexpected that might prevent you from traveling and losing your investment, we always recommend travel insurance that includes trip cancellation and medical coverage.
