We visited fantastic archaeological sites and learned about the ancient and powerful cosmology of the land and people. The mountain setting is glorious, magical and very restorative and the home cooked food was super delicious and deeply nourishing. It was extremely hard to leave!!

Great Service!
I was treated very professionally and kindly. I was concerned about costs, looked it up, and they had an absolutely fair price for the work I needed. Technicians are very helpful and experienced. My car is now great and no problems at all.

My retreat in Malinalco was a beautiful, blessed, magical experience.
Let me start with the setting:
High in the mountains, sits the tiny town of Malinalco. It is surrounded by farms & agriculture, blue turquoise skies, & lush green forests. There is a wonderful museum near the climb up the steps towards an Aztec ruin which was a gathering place for warriors preparing for their future status.
The retreat sits in the hills of this Pueblo, across the mountains, which has a spectacular view.
As I entered the house, the ceremonial center altar was on the floor.
I knew I would find myself being taken away from it all. The stress, the anxiety, the constant pain in my body.
Senora Marina who led the ceremonial circle presented some deep questions & profound conversations about who we were & why were we there.
This ceremony was very healing for me & I came away feeling very sensitive, yet relieved.
The temescal ceremony which took place elsewhere, was powerful medicine. It helped rid me of what I was carrying & I felt much lighter afterwards.
My dreams have been clearer & I can remember them, like the windows of my soul got cleaned.
I also picked up the energy from the stones & ancestors when we visited the pyramids.
Then there's the food which replenished my soul! Wow! I so miss those beautiful, healthy meals.
Today, a friend stopped me and said "you look different." I asked how so? He said you look so relaxed. How was Mexico? All I could do was smile & respond with one word: Magical. ❤️
Thank you again for leading us towards this path to rediscover ourselves & our spirit. I also feel like I now have more extended family!

Ir a Malinalco con mi Madre y mi hija fue una experiencia única e inolvidable. Fuimos para día de muertos con la intención de recordar a nuestros antepasados y nos fuimos reconectando un poco más con nosotras mismas. Malinalco es un lugar verdaderamente mágico. Sera que la queridísima Lilia nos recibió con brazos y un corazón abierto que nos llenó de paz. O tal vez será que su Familia nos cuidó y nos alimentó el cuerpo y el alma. La casa donde nos quedamos queda frente una gran montaña verde. Por las mañanas, recibíamos el sol antes de tomar un delicioso desayuno. Mi hija disfruto de la compañía de Lilia y su dulce familia y también exploro el enorme jardín y nado en la piscina. La verdad es que soy una mujer Xicana quien nació en México y creció fuera de su tierra natal. Atreves de los años he querido aprender más sobre el lugar de mi origen y hebuscado la medicina de mis ancestros. Hoy soy madre, estudiante, hermana, hija, y persona dedicada a su sanaciónpersonal. Fue un gran privilegio poder visitar estas tierras sagradas y reflejar en mi vida y mi identidad.

I have been to many retreats during my lifetime and I have never experienced such a magical one. Your yoga helped to release aches, pains, and stuck energy, Erin’s sound healing raised my vibration, and Atava’s herbs have given me a new perspective on planet life. Celia and I were taking a walk and I said, “Look, there’s plantain” and tonight I had a rosemary bath. The group of retreaters was wonderful, truly beautiful people whose souls are so spiritually aligned. I felt honored to be included in their midst and, truly, felt as if I had found “home.”

Lilia is a magical yoga teacher who understands the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I felt that this understanding allowed her to gently guide me to connect with myself as well as connect with nature in a way that helped me rest and is rejuvenated. The specificity of Lilia's yoga instruction, her attention to detail, and her consistent checking in with her students made the yoga practice meaningful and brought my attention to details within poses I had not previously considered. The experience spoke to different parts of my being. I felt comfortable, rested, relaxed, and cared for throughout this retreat.

I feel very blessed to have met you three along with the other women that attended the retreat. I remember much laughter and authentic conversations with them and you. Nancy and I talked about how great it was all the way back to Santa Barbara. I’m not kidding. I’ve come back from this retreat more inspired than ever before. I plan to attend again!
