Vively Retreat Center

Retreats take place at the Vively Retreat Center, a privately owned beachfront home and multi-condo sanctuary nestled along the stunning coast of Jalisco, Mexico.

Each guest enjoys a private room and bathroom, with access to shared kitchen and gathering spaces designed for rest, connection, and comfort.

Retreat pricing includes:

  • Full retreat programming

  • Lodging

  • Ground transportation

  • Nourishing meals prepared by a private chef

Retreats are intentionally intimate, with space for only 8–10 guests per offering to ensure spaciousness and personal attention.

Next retreat: February 2026

If you have a group of 8–10 and would like to coordinate your own retreat, please reach out to explore custom dates.

Within yourself is a stillness, a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself
— Herman Hesse

The retreat is located 35 minutes from the Manzanilla airport in a charming Mexican beach village known for skimboarding, fishing and hosting retired Canadians. I have been coming back to this area for over over 15 years and continue to be enchanted by the magic of the ocean, people and culture.
