Thanksgiving Reimagined
by the sea . in the body . with wild nature
More than a yoga retreat, this is a call to adventure in Riviera Nayarit.
For 6 days / 5 nights on the Nayarit Riviera, we will immerse in nourishing somatic practice, warm ocean waters, Mexican gastronomy, an unforgettable wild dolphin swim, eco-adventure, and deep renewal.
Hi, I’m so happy you’ve found your way here.
I created Soma + Terra retreats because I believe we need meaningful ways to spend time away from our screens and the complexity of urban life by returning to the body, to beauty, and to a more direct, reciprocal relationship with wild nature.
I have a passion for creating threshold experiences: those rare moments when movement, wild nature, music, food, local culture, and community converge to loosen our fixed ideas of who we are. This Thanksgiving retreat at Haramara I bring this passion to Mexico’s Nayarit Riviera: six days / five nights where practice meets ocean, food becomes memory, jungle and sea change the nervous system, and imagination widens.
You’ll find the retreat and registration details below. Please reach out with any questions — we’d be happy to hear from you.
Love, Micheline
Wild Dolphin Encounter
Here is a sneak peek of our last unforgettable open-sea swim with wild dolphins on our last retreat.
We work with a marine biologist we have known for over 12 years, who has spent years studying and building a respectful relationship with the local dolphin pods. In our past five outings together, we have encountered dolphins every time. Each time we entered the water from the boat, the dolphins came toward us and played.
Because they are wild beings, the encounter is never forced or staged. We enter the water with respect and awe, allowing the dolphins to choose the interaction. When they do, it feels like being welcomed into another intelligence of the sea: playful, exhilarating, and unforgettable.
ABOUT HARAMARA
Meet the owner of Haramara Sajeela, and her vision. This is why I return again and again… and bring others with me.
Haramara is one of those rare places tucked into a private beachfront cove where beautiful design, refined simplicity, and wild nature are held with attention to the smallest detail. There is a sense of taste and care woven through the entire property.
This will be my third retreat at Haramara — a place I return to because I love the nature on this land, the incredible regional Mexican cuisine, the warmth of the people and staff, and the seasonal animals I encounter on each trip. I value that Haramara honors the local land and culture and I know you will too.
Set on 12 private acres of seaside tropical jungle with a private, pristine beach, we will stay in open-air casitas tucked into the hillside above the Pacific.
As Haramara describes them, “our casitas have been designed with your comfort in mind… spacious, simple, natural, and elegant.”
Each casita offers privacy, ocean and/or jungle canopy views, private bathrooms, hand-woven sheets, monogrammed towels, Pacific breezes, candlelit evenings, and daily housekeeping.
An upgraded larger accommodation with its own kitchen may be available for an additional fee upon request, subject to Haramara availability.
MEXICO THANKSGIVING RETREAT DETAILS
-
Through the ages, gratitude has been known to return us to the body, to wonder, and to what is essential. Our retreat at Haramara transforms Thanksgiving into a coastal ritual of nourishment: morning practice in open-air yoga pavillions, rest and ocean play, music, and conversation around a special Thanksgiving seafood feast inspired by seasonal Mexican gastronomy, prepared with love and care by our chef.
A defining part of this retreat is its immersion in wild nature: ocean, jungle, and mountain.
Wild Dolphin Swim
One of the most extraordinary parts of this retreat is our open-sea swim with wild dolphins.
In our past five outings together, we have encountered dolphins every time. Each time we entered the water from the boat, the dolphins came toward us and played.
Because they are wild beings, the encounter is never forced or staged.
Monkey Mountain Hike
Monkey Mountain Hike on a guided 2–3 hour trail through a protected coastal preserve, with expansive views of jungle, coastline, and the Pacific.
While at Haramara
You’ll also have time to wander jungle paths, walk Haramara’s private beach, rest in a hammock, sunbathe by the cliffside saltwater infinity pool, receive optional bodywork, or take the 10-minute walk to one of the area’s best surfing beaches.
Optional Adventures
Optional adventures may include surfing, whale watching, spa treatments, and cultural excursions into Sayulita.
-
Most mornings begin with me guiding you into your body through vinyasa and meditation in Haramara’s open-air yoga shalas, with sweeping 360° views of jungle, sky, and sea.
Rooted in Buddhist dharma, somatic intelligence, and breath-based movement, the practice is strong, fluid, soulful, and intelligent — a return to rhythm, sensation, and presence.
Afternoon Yin sessions offer a quieter counterpoint: deep release, nervous system restoration, and spacious listening.
Some classes will be accompanied by the evocative live music of my husband, Joey Lugassy, and friends.
-
Food is a central part of the Soma + Terra retreat experience — a daily celebration of nourishment, beauty, and the flavors of the Nayarit coast.
Our chef prepares seasonal Mexican meals from the freshest offerings from local fish and farmers markets. Meals are centered around fresh seafood and vibrant vegetarian dishes, with tropical fruit, handmade salsas, and the bright, sunlit flavors of coastal Mexico.
Three meals are included each day, along with our special Thanksgiving seafood feast.
Most dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice; please include any allergies, food sensitivities, or dietary restrictions on your registration form.
