TIDES OF JOY
This retreat feels especially meaningful to me.
Puerto Rico is my home, my roots, my history — the place where I was born, a place that lives deeply in me through family, culture, and memory. Since living there for five months 4 years ago, I have carried a quiet dream of one day creating a retreat on the island, and I have been holding that vision ever since.
I am co-creating this experience with , another Puerto Rican teacher, and it feels like a kind of homecoming.
Like the ocean, joy has its own rhythm. It rises, and it recedes. It deepens, and it softens. It cannot be held still… and it cannot be rushed. But when you stop moving against it and simply let it move through you.
That is what this retreat is about.
Six days at Finca Victoria in Vieques, Puerto Rico. Daily yoga, meditation, breathwork, and community alongside the warm ocean air, the song of the coquí, and skies so full of stars they stop you mid-thought. Generous time to rest, explore, and take in the wonder of the island.
Tides of Joy.
June 14-19, 2027.
Let JOY move through you.
Six days, five nights
