“We are all longing to go home to some place we have never been—a place half-remembered and half-envisioned we can only catch glimpses of from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak with passion without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power. Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be free.”
~ Starhalk, The Spiral Dance

Haramara | Our sacred home away from home in vibrant and soulful Sayulita, Mexico
Haramara is a sacred Huichol Indian word meaning “Mother Sea '' – the source of everything'. It is located in the breathtaking coastal Riviera Nayarit, nestled above the Pacific Ocean on 12 private acres of tropical jungle, overlooking the mountains, with a private & pristine beach. This exclusive and intimate seaside yoga resort offers the most beautiful + powerful coexistence with nature. The peace and tranquility found at Haramara is Medicine for the Soul. The healing that takes place here is deeply supported by the experience of connection to Mother Earth. You will rise with the sounds of the jungle, move with the energy of the Sun, & rest under the light of the Moon. Haramara is a place to disconnect from the hustle, and be fully wrapped up, held, and nourished by the magic & beauty of the natural world. You instantly feel the deep held wisdom of the land the moment you arrive.
