The Soul Tribe Signature Journey — Oaxaca, México
Cacao, Mezcal & Ancestral Celebration in Oaxaca's Historic Heart
Healing doesn't have to hurt.
This is not a retreat about doing more. It is an invitation to receive.
For seven days in the historic heart of Oaxaca, you will slow down inside a living tradition of cacao, corn, agave, cloth, and clay — held by Sistah Yaya and guided by the women, families, and artisans who have carried these practices for generations.
You arrive burnt out and disconnected. You leave full, rooted in sisterhood, and remembering who you were before the world handed you everyone else's weight.
Who is this for
-
You're the one everyone leans on — the career, the family, the friend group that would fall apart without you
-
You've achieved and survived, but you feel disconnected from your roots, your body, and your joy
-
You're done with beige wellness retreats where healing feels like homework — you want culture, color, and flavor
-
You're ready to receive for one full week instead of provide
-
You may not call yourself "spiritual" — but something in you stirs at the word ancestors
