My Transformation in Tulum
I have to share the most amazing transformational retreat to Tulum I had last weekend! I was invited to do a hypnotherapy workshop for the ladies attending but the true invitation was for my own transformation!
It’s hard to describe in words but from the moment we arrived to Tulum, the energy shifted. This place has an energy of healing and self discovery.
I was so moved by how open and vulnerable we all were with each other immediately. Our retreat leader Nansi, a licensed therapist, really created a safe space for us to be heard and also to dive deep.
I felt so taken care of by all the people who were there to feed us and lead us through our experiences. The food was phenomenal, healthy and so beautifully presented. Oh and did I mention no alcohol, just fresh squeezed juices!
When we arrived late at night, we were fed and then lead to a fire ceremony where we drank cacao, spoke our intentions to manifest and burned what we wanted to release.
The most difficult and rewarding experience of the weekend was a TEMEZCAL ceremony with a shaman who had us in a sweat lodge for who knows how long, in the dark with the heat intensifying as we went. This whole experience felt way scarier than I ever anticpated. The fear of the unknown, how will my body handle the heat? Where will my mind go? How long are we going to be in here for? It brought up fear of death which is why they describe this experience as a rebirth.
When we came out, I was so happy that I went straight into the ocean and faced my fear of swimming in the waves. For the first time in probably 20 years I played in the ocean like I used to in my childhood. Free of fear of the waves over powering me. It was so empowering and freeing.
There are so many magical moments that happened here and if you are curious to learn more I’d love to tell you about it. Comment below or dm me and we can talk.
If you have an opportunity to do something like this, I deeply believe we can all use a holistic retreat at least once a year. To reflect on where we are in our lives and reset knowing ourselves better.
It has given me a fresh start, deepened my spirituality, allowed me to slow down and be more present and connected with my loved ones.
If anyone wants details on the retreat Nansi is hosting in Oct. Email me (jenn@modernhypno.com) and I’ll connect you!
