reconnect, restore & renew
Yelapa Oceanfront Retreat 2027
March 5-12, 2027
a week of magic, rest, and play
Imagine waking to waves outside your window, warm, nourishing meals prepared for you, and a whole day with nothing required of you except presence.
Yelapa is an ocean-kissed village where cobblestone roads and jungle paths meet the sea, and life is lived on foot — to the beach, to the café, to the waterfall, or simply back to rest. Here you’ll be completely cared for, with oceanfront rooms, gentle guidance, and moments to move, breathe, and return to your body in a natural, unhurried way. Surrounded by the ease of this town and the presence of kind, grounded women, you’ll feel your cup slowly refill — remembering your softness, your joy, and your steady, living strength.
Rooted in the heart of nature, Kat and Lauren of Terra Firma Healing Arts & D’ana Baptiste invite you to reconnect with the earth and rediscover the profound wisdom it offers.

Past Retreat Feedback from Google Reviews
Kat and Lauren are magical humans. I started attending sound baths with them, and when the opportunity opened up to attend a Yoga/sound bath/meditation retreat with them in Mexico- the pull was too strong to ignore and I had to go. Zero regrets. The experience was life altering, transformative and restorative- and the space they both held for me and the others will be something I’ll carry in my heart forever.

I went on a week long retreat hosted by Kat and Lauren! We stayed in Yelapa, Jalisco, MX which is a small fishing village just south of Puerto Vallarta. This experience was full of magic and adventure! They made each morning special with restorative yoga, breathwork and sound bathes. We experienced waterfalls and wildlife, even seeing a Gray whale with her newborn calf!! They made extraordinary travel companions and made everyone feel comfortable and supported the entire time. Thank you Terra Firma for this dream come true!

I was able to join on a recent retreat with Terra Firma in Mexico - was one of the most magical and powerful experiences I've had in years. They are beautifully talented souls - highly recommend working with them in any way you can.

Lauren and Kat are truly the most incredible humans. They make everyone feel welcome, everyone is accepted in the most wonderful way.
I went on a retreat to Mexico with them and it was truly the most incredible, delightful week of all time. Literally cannot wait to join them on future retreats.

I recently attended the Terra Firma Healing Arts Retreat in Yelapa, Mexico, and it’s hard to put into words just how magical and impactful the experience was. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, welcomed, and genuinely cared for.
Kat and Lauren are incredible leaders who truly know how to hold space for each individual while also creating a strong, supportive group environment. At any point I had a concern or needed support, I felt heard and guided with compassion rather than dismissed, which made a huge difference in my experience.
The entire retreat was powerful and thoughtfully curated, the beautiful excursions to the daily yoga and sound bath. The accommodations were absolutely beautiful and added so much comfort to the experience. Yelapa itself made everything even more special, the jungle, stunning coastline, waterfall hikes, and the peaceful rhythm of the town. The warmth of the local people and the presence of animals all around brought such a grounded, authentic energy to the trip.
I left with new friendships that I know will last, and memories I’ll carry with me forever. The food was absolutely amazing as well! So nourishing, delicious, and clearly made with intention.
This experience changed my life for the better. If you’re considering attending, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s truly something special.
