YOUR STATE OF BEING
MEET US IN
MÉRIDA, MÉXICO
JOIN US TO UNCOVER
YOUR VIRTUES AND
HOLY IDEAS
with individual work
You are already familiar with the power of individual work at retreats. This advanced retreat will take individual Enneagram-based work to another level. We will provide the information, the experiences, the support, and the path to help you intentionally expand beyond the habitual, automatic reactivity of your personality, specifically from passions to virtues and from fixations to holy ideas.
Merida, Mexico, situated in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula, stands as a compelling convergence of spirituality and history, drawing those seeking profound spiritual introspection.
The city's historical narrative intertwines deeply with its ancient Mayan origins, as evidenced by its foundation upon the remnants of the Mayan city of T'Ho. Nearby archaeological sites like Uxmal and Chichen Itza serve as silent witnesses to the legacy of Mayan civilization, inviting contemplation of their profound cultural and spiritual contributions.
Merida's natural surroundings provide a contemplative backdrop for spiritual exploration and retreat. Many pilgrims are drawn to the region's serene landscapes and ancient ruins, seeking solace and introspection. Here, visitors engage in practices such as meditation, pilgrimage, and traditional healing rituals.
At this retreat, we will anchor your experience in a guided discovery through the virtues and holy ideas, at the boutique Hacienda Xcanatun, Angsana Heritage Collection. There, we will stay as a group in the beautiful hotel, where we will spend our days in its beautiful chapel. This retreat will include a day trip to the Mayan Ruins of Uxmal to leverage its ancient history and energy to enhance our trip but will be centered on the signature CP retreat experience with which our advanced students are so familiar.
In this powerful ONE-TIME experience, Bea and Uranio WILL guide OUR COMMUNITY’S MOST ADVANCED SEEKERS—INCLUDING YOU—in ANOTHER SPECIAL retreat.

History of the Uxmal Ruins:
Located 40 miles south of Merida, the Mayan town of Uxmal was founded around 700 CE and had an estimated 25,000 inhabitants. The ruins of Uxmal and its nearby towns, Kabah, Labná, and Sayil, are examples of the height of late Maya art and architecture. This area was a hub for trade and cultural exchange during the height of its political power, between the 8th and 10th centuries.

YOUR STAY
While we are in Merida, we will stay at the Hacienda Xcanatun, Angsana Heritage Collection. Originally one of the largest henequen haciendas in the 18th century, the building was renovated into a beautiful hotel. It includes a restaurant, pools, and a beautiful chapel, where we will spend most of our time.
