Origen Wellness Retreats

We were so warmly received and cared for by this family. The organization of the activities was seamless and the offerings were varied and all very enjoyable. I was a bit anxious about the temazcal, having had a less than positive previous experience at another retreat but it was awesome. The whole family is wonderful and I was privileged to spend time with them.

Having never been to this part of Mexico I didn’t really know what to expect, flying into Mexico City followed by about a 3 hour drive to Agua Blanca via shuttle. I was traveling with a friend & was able to meet with other participants at the airport & on the drive. We immediately connected making the trip enjoyable. We turn down a narrow road & come to an archway leading into the property. The photos don’t do it justice. The property is lovingly maintained by the family & their friendly staff of about 30. We had wonderful meals, mostly vegetarian. The property is surrounded by water, with 3+ waterfalls. The water is clean & there are filtered water stations outside of the rooms. We were able to eat fresh fruit & salad grown locally including some on property. We had wonderful yoga & meditation practices, along with art therapy, Gaia walks, zumba, hiking, Japanese water therapy in the wonderful natural mineral pools. We also got to experience a sweat lodge ceremony led by Daniel, the brother of our yoga instructor. Daniel was also our leader on our excursion to El Rosario, one of the top Monarch Butterfly sanctuaries. It was perfect timing as the butterflies were active & preparing for their migration north, one of the key reasons I selected this retreat. The program also included spa treatments which were wonderful. I recommend this retreat very highly & hope to return with more friends. We were treated like family. You will not be disappointed.

For peace, rejuvenation, and natural wonder, this was one of the best holidays I've had. Everyone is so kind and does their utmost to make you feel welcome and looked after. The butterfly excursion was amazing!

Yoga wellness retreat - what a beautiful experience. I chose to be off social media and be in airplane modeduring the week there. I still took photos though! We did so much in just one week and I feel like I was able to really be all in and focused during this retreat because I had no outside worldly distractions. Some highlights were our Restorative, yin, animal flow and power yoga classes. We had Meditation time that really allowed me to feel connected. I felt so much peace.

Some of the activities like art therapy and dancing sessions and Stargazing made me feel like I was returning to my inner child. Some of us joked and said we feel like we’re at a summer camp for 30 year olds. Honestly it was a blast and such a great experience to be so reflective and open to new personal revelations. I felt the purpose, people and activities all aligned with what I was hoping for and it was a perfect balance of mind, body and spirit, like food for the soul. I especially loved our Gaia walk, aqua therapy in the spring thermal water pools, 4 complimentary spa treatments, water fall hike and the Daily organic nutritious meals. It was all incredible. The people I met here were nothing short of amazing. I’m so glad I met each one of them. I felt so taken care of during the week. I felt so much love from everyone. The owners and instructors of this retreat care for their guests and their land so beautifully. They have hearts of gold and I feel so honored to have been apart.
