10-Day Transformative Silent Retreat with Daily 1-on-1 in Tulum, Mexico

Most retreats are designed to make you feel good. This one is designed to make you face yourself.

You know what it feels like to almost change. You've had the insight, the clarity, the moment where everything seemed possible. And then life resumed, and so did the patterns.

You've probably tried things. And some of them helped. But you're still here, reading this, which means the real work hasn't happened yet.
The problem isn't motivation. It isn't knowledge. It's that real change requires facing the parts of yourself you've learned to manage, avoid, or explain away, and that is very hard to do alone, in your normal environment, with your normal distractions intact. This retreat removes all of it.

Ten days of complete silence. No phone, no screens, no social contact. A strict daily structure of meditation, movement, fasting, and stillness. And one person, Chi, working with you directly, every single day, with 25 years of experience cutting through exactly the kind of avoidance that has kept you circling.

If you've done the workshops, the courses, the softer retreats, and you're still sensing that the real thing hasn't happened yet, this is what comes next.
This is not comfortable. It is not meant to be. It is meant to work.
This is for people who are serious. Who are done with the version of self-work that leaves them essentially unchanged. Who are ready, finally, to do this properly.

The person who belongs here already knows they do. They're not looking for inspiration. They're looking for the real thing. They're ready to be challenged, to be seen clearly, and to leave with something that actually changes how they live.
If that's you, you've found it.

--What You Will Experience--
- Stillness meditation: learning to observe the mind without reacting to it
- Conscious movement, breathwork, and Qigong to keep the body awake and integrated
- 19-hour daily intermittent fasting to support clarity and physical reset
- Nourishing raw and plant-based meals prepared with care
- Daily one-on-one guidance with Chi — short, focused sessions where he works directly with what is alive in you that day
- Self-inquiry practices drawn from Chi's 25+ years of direct work with people
- Time for rest, journaling, and presence in nature
- Silence is maintained throughout. The one exception is your daily session with Chi: a direct, private space where nothing is avoided.

--A Note on the Environment--
This retreat takes place within a living community. Life here is real: there are two young children, there are animals, there are the natural sounds of a town on the edge of the jungle — roosters, dogs, the rhythm of ordinary life continuing around you.
This is not a bug. It is part of the design.
The silence is yours to hold. The environment will test whether you can hold it. That gap — between controlled retreat conditions and actual life — is exactly where the real work happens.
If you need complete environmental sterility to practice, Vipassana will serve you well. If you're ready for something that doesn't let you off the hook, this is it.
