Wild clay retreat : Sayulita, MX • Spring 2023


  • Teitiare Estate Calle Norte 200, Camino a La Playa Escondida, 63732 Sayulita, Nay., Mexico Mexico (map)
$0.00

A return to the body, the earth, and the creative life force within.

This retreat was born from the unraveling.
From burnout, emotional exhaustion, and the slow reclamation of self.
It’s not a vacation. It’s a vessel.

Over five nights and six days, we’ll gather as women in an intimate circle—under the full moon, during whale season—to regulate, reawaken, and remember. Through the ancient, grounding ritual of wild clay, we’ll reconnect with the parts of ourselves that have been silenced, stretched thin, or forgotten.

Set on a private estate just outside Sayulita, this retreat offers both sanctuary and spaciousness. Morning yoga and breath work help ground the body. Somatic meditations and creative practices soften the nervous system. A sacred pit fire, a secret beach, and the slow, hands-on process of forming clay into vessel invite deep presence and embodied soul alchemy.

Together we’ll forage, cleanse, hand-build, and pit fire with wild clay—transforming earth into form, just as we transform ourselves through process. Each step in the ceramic journey mirrors a step in your own. You’ll return home with a vessel shaped by your hands and the land itself—a physical reminder of the clarity, calm, and creative power you reclaimed.

This experience is for women who are ready to reset.
To soften. To re-center. To listen for what’s next.
No ceramic experience is necessary—just a willingness to arrive as you are.

Come remember who you are beneath the noise.
Come create from the inside out.
