“I left Tulum feeling energized, stronger, more connected to myself.”

“This is truly one of the best things I've ever done.”

The Retreat is a curated opportunity to:

move your body
get out of your comfort zone
make new friends
spend time alone
disconnect from life & work
challenge yourself
reflect + recommit to yourself
balance relaxation and adventure
build community with likeminded travelers

Each day is curated so you can take what you want and leave the rest. Daily beach walks, yoga, meditation and reflection, tons of down time for reading your favorite book, getting a massage or reiki, visiting cenotes and more.

The goal?

Leave for home with renewed confidence, refocused energy, and newfound clarity.

Why Tulum —

Tulum is where I hosted the very first installment of The Retreat and it’s a place I can’t wait to return to, year after year.

I have been traveling to Tulum since 2012 and having visited over 10 times, I've seen and experienced the magic that happens when you step onto the sandy beaches, get outside yourself and your comfort zone, away from obligations and work and stress, to really listen closely, tune in, stretch yourself and reflect.

Tulum is for the mystics. For those who want to go beyond the surface level, who want to feel something a little deeper. Join us.

— Catherine, Founder of The Retreat

My expectations were blown away. It was the perfect mix of movement and fitness, sunshine and relaxation, community and friendship, and unique and deep experiences.

Grateful for our community? Understatement.

The Retreat with Catherine is one of the best travel experiences I've had. The resort, Amansala, is perfectly equipped with everything you'll need. The rooms had A/C and the staff was quick to attend to anything if it wasn't working properly. Catherine led a 2 hour session every day that included the best yoga classes I've ever done, working your whole body and mind. The food, other retreaters, and the location were all perfect. You are able to totally relax and unwind at the resort or you can venture off into Tulum town and Puebla in the afternoons. I definitely cannot wait to go again!

The Retreat is a perfect blend of: activity + relaxing, comfort + challenge, nurturing + indulging, depth + fun! If you want an amazing get-away with epic vibes, amazing yoga sessions, delicious food, authentic human connection & lots of laughs with new friends...this is for you. I am so stoked for the next installment!

I had an absolutely amazing time on The Retreat! Catherine is an amazing yoga teacher and has created such a special community of yogis. The Retreat has a perfect balance of yoga, alone time, socialization, and fun. I would highly recommend to anyone interested. I only knew Catherine when I signed up, and the group is so friendly and welcoming. Don't hesitate to join, even if you don't know anyone!

The Retreat and host Catherine Gignac never disappoints. This was my second retreat in 3 years and I had the most amazing time. I got to see past retreat goers as well as make new friends. I was able to do some activities I missed on my first retreat like the Ice Bath and Temazcal. This trip helped me reset and jump start my yoga practice and eating a healthier diet. Another highlight was the ability to see a Lunar Eclipse from the comfort of my beach chair and then turn it around and watch the sunrise. Simply amazing!! I feel right at home in Tulum and I can’t wait for the next retreat.

Beautiful accommodations, delicious food, warm ocean, challenging yoga, and an amazing trip leader. Can’t recommend the retreat enough!!! I have been twice and it won’t be my last.

The week I spent with Catherine in Mexico was transformative. She thoughtfully mapped out each day with an intentional theme for purpose and growth. She provided an atmosphere of learning, relaxation and empowerment. I left truly feeling like I was fully connected and balanced in mind, body and spirit. She inspired me to go further than I've ever gone before in my yoga practice, and instilled in me a desire to keep the themes and lessons of this retreat alive in my everyday life. This is truly one of the best things I've ever done for myself, and I'm eternally grateful to Catherine.

The Retreat with Catherine was fantastic! She did an excellent job coordinating all of the details of the trip to really make sure that everyone was comfortable and had a great time. Her itinerary was perfect - flexible, with something for everyone - and her yoga classes were great. I would do another retreat with her any day!
