About this Retreat
Lena's work comes out of her own life rather than out of a manual. For almost two decades she has studied what connects the mind, the body and the breath, and her instinct is not to hand you answers but to keep the space steady enough for you to find your own. She works with individuals and couples using practices she has spent years inside: facilitated psilocybin journeys, classical Tantra, yoga, sound and meditation. Her manner is direct and unhurried, and she expects you to do your own work rather than watch her do it.
Her foundation is nutrition, Yoga and Tantra, practised across Canada, the United States and Mexico. Those years have gone into learning and into her own work rather than into collecting titles. She is not a guru. She is someone who has practised for a long time, and who will hold the space while you do what you came to do.

Olga has spent her adult life inside Yoga and Buddhism, and it shows in how she works: slowly, precisely and with attention to what your body is doing. More than twenty years of practice sit behind every session, and none of it is announced. She trained under Sri Dharma Mittra, studying with him since 2007 and teaching full time at the Dharma Yoga Center in New York. She holds 200-hour and 500-hour Registered Dharma Yoga Teacher certifications.
From 2016 to 2024, Olga lived and served at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Monastery in Upstate New York under Venerable Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, completing a traditional three-and-a-half-year sealed retreat and an additional twelve-month solitary silent meditation retreat.
She came to this from medical science, massage and bioenergetics, and from studies at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, and she brings movement, touch, breath and energy work into the same room. She also cooks, and she treats food as part of the work rather than a break from it.

Details of this retreat
Four days in the jungle near Tulum, for a couple who wants privacy around work that is not small. Classical Tantra is what the week stands on. Inside it sits one optional psilocybin day. The house takes a single booking, so nobody else is ever on the property.
Almost nobody who comes to us is in crisis. What they have instead is a life run well enough together that nothing looks wrong from outside, and a distance inside it that talk has not closed. Those conversations have been had, some of them many times.
So the work goes through the body. Classical Tantra here means what happens through breath and slow movement and contact between the two of you, with no sexual touch at all, and with every boundary named out loud before anything starts and yours to change whenever you want. If you want the medicine, one day is set aside for it. The pair of you in one room, doses worked out for each of you apart, and one of us within reach from morning until you are settled at night. The session is quoted on your call and paid outside this booking, and the four days stand up without it. Some couples take the day. Others decide against it before they travel and come anyway.
Taking one booking at a time changes more than privacy. It means the days bend around you two instead of around a timetable written for strangers, that we are free when you need us and out of the way when you do not, and that nobody is keeping score.
Before anything is confirmed there is a call with both of you and a private intake for each. After you fly home, two more calls are already agreed. What opens in four days is rarely finished in four days.

Schedule
Day 1 (sample) Arriving
1:00 pm | Arrival, and we shift this to fit your flights. Your suite is waiting and the property is empty apart from us.
3:30 pm | Eat when it suits you and swim if you feel like it. The first day asks nothing of you.
5:00 pm | We walk the grounds together slowly, then there is time with both of us. What brought each of you here, and what these days might hold.
7:00 pm | Dinner at the table. Early nights are ordinary here and the jungle makes sure of it.
Day 2 (sample) Working together
8:00 am | Slow movement and breathwork, done as a pair, before the day gets going.
9:30 am | Breakfast, and it stays out as long as you need it to. 1
1:00 am | Your first Tantra practice as a pair. Boundaries get named out loud first, then contact and breath.
1:30 pm | Lunch, then a long empty afternoon. The pool and a hammock, or else the walk to a cenote. 5:00 pm | Private time with each of us, apart, for whoever wants it.
7:00 pm | Dinner, and nothing scheduled behind it.
Day 3 (sample) The session day
9:00 am | Breakfast stays light, and you sit for a short meditation side by side before anything begins.
10:30 am | The session itself, for couples who have chosen it. The pair of you in one room on that day, with one of us beside you until you are settled at night. Choosing against it turns this into a full practice day instead, with bodywork and sound, plus a temazcal if you want one.
7:00 pm | Food whenever you feel like food. The evening stays open and nobody knocks.
Day 4 (sample) Closing
9:00 am | Breakfast whenever you surface.
10:30 am | A closing practice for the two of you. What these days opened, and what each of you means to keep.
12:00 pm | We sketch out the first fortnight with you and fix the two calls that follow.
1:00 pm | Departure, with your transfer waiting. We move the hour if your flight asks for it.
This is a sample rather than a promise. The days bend to the weather and to whatever is moving between the two of you, and nothing on them is compulsory.

Getting Here

Directions
Airport pick-up and drop-off is always included
Accommodation
The villa takes one party at a time, and what you sleep in is a master suite rather than a hotel room. Light arrives from the side instead of from the ceiling, the bed is wide, and the terrace outside holds a pool with the jungle standing close around it. There is a room of your own to sit in, so even when you come with someone there is a door to close. The bathroom runs generous, with a closet that swallows everything you brought, a walk-in shower and room for two at the sinks. A desk stands by the window for the days when writing is what you do with an afternoon. Candles and incense are left out for you, and the lamps stay low. The wifi is there if the world needs you.

The house is called Alma Chakana. A family built it by hand and lived in it for years before it came to us, and it stands in the jungle outside Tulum, in Quintana Roo, Mexico. It is not a hotel and it does not run like one. While you are here nobody else is booked in. The property holds one party at a time.
Your villa is yours alone, with its own pool and the jungle closing over the roof. The buildings were hand-made from natural materials and most of them open to the air, so the jungle is in the room rather than a picture of it outside. The ground between them has been left as it grew.
Tulum town is close when you want it and far enough that the quiet survives. We include transfers from Cancun (CUN) or Tulum (TQO) and book the car ourselves. The exact location goes to you when your dates are agreed.

Cooking here belongs to the schedule rather than interrupting it. A chef works in the kitchen most days, and some evenings one of us takes the stove instead, which turns into the meal people remember.
What reaches the table is whole food from the market and from growers nearby, cooked on the day and mostly plant-based. Nothing processed and nothing that takes a paragraph to explain. Vegan, gluten free, soy free, raw, keto and paleo are ordinary requests here rather than special favours, and allergies and medical diets are treated as facts rather than fuss. One message before you arrive covers the whole stay.
The meals run long. Breakfast waits until you surface, lunch sits by the pool and dinner is by candlelight, with more on the table than you will finish.
