“The Immerse & Integrate retreat has served as a beautiful way to integrate the past year and clear the channels for what wants to be welcomed into the coming year for me these past two years. In this beautifully nurtured, lovingly intentional container my mind and nervous system have space to settle, and the retreat connections I’ve made have been above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. It has been such a soul-nourishing gift to come on retreat to Xinalani with Lisa and Sophia these past two years. I can’t imagine a more ideal way to close out the year than to join together in lovely, open-hearted community on the magical land of Xinalani.”

The yoga studios, suites and common areas are open-air concepts to promote harmony and integration with the natural landscape which was originally settled by Nahuatl tribes. Xinalani, from the Nahuatl word Xinaloani meaning "seed", is a sacred place that supports our mission to plant and grow the seeds of creative living in body, mind, and soul.
