A Letter from Us:
Dear friends and new friends and souls in search of rest and self-care,
We have come together for the first time (after 15 years of friendship) to create a heart-centered and relaxing experience for all of you.
We are over the moon excited to be with you in and around the Mexican town of Valladolid as well as the beautiful, special gift that is Project Zenti'ik. We have created a holistic, transformative as well as unique experience for all of you and can't wait to embark on this life-changing healing and magical journey together. This is an unstructured retreat - come to what feels right to you, stay at the Project to be with the turtles if that calls you. Lay in the hammocks and read if that is what you need. Just gift yourself just that - what you need and your wise self knows is best for you in that moment. And, let's come together in community.
Big love,
lisa & candace
