Is a She Recovers Beach Retreat right for me?
If you answer “yes” to the following questions, then these retreats are perfect for you:
Are you a strong and courageous woman in recovery?
Do you love the sun, sand and the sea?
Are your days feel full but overly busy?
Do you ever feel like you just need to stop and catch your breath?
Would you like to hit pause and take a sabbatical from life?
Are you looking to form healthy relationships with women just like you?
Our retreats help us to fulfill our mission – to connect, support and empower women in or seeking recovery.
Our recovery retreat program started out with our first ever retreat taking place on the beach in Mexico in November 2012.
Our seven-day Playa Secreto, Mexico retreat (20 minutes from the Cancun airport) is truly a sacred pause, a time to embrace your healing while being guided through a program intended to support your individualized pathway & patchwork of recovery. Trauma-informed yoga led twice a day by SHE RECOVERS Trauma-Informed Yoga teachers, sharing circles facilitated by professional SHE RECOVERS Recovery Coaches in the evenings, and shared mealtimes featuring fresh, nutritious, and Mayan-inspired dishes are included in the healing activities scheduled during the week. Spend the rest of your soul-recovery time beach walking, swimming in the beautiful Caribbean Sea or pool, resting, reading or journaling. Participate at your own leisure in other creative activities or spend healing time connecting with and supporting other like-hearted/like-minded women in recovery.
