Listening to the Soul: A Yoga and Mindfulness Retreat

12 - 15 April 2025

Mar de Jade Retreat Center - Chacala, Mexico

A week on the Pacific coast where the jungle meets the sea and the invitation is to immerse yourself in practices that rejuvenate, restore, and heal the soul. This is an opportunity to experience the transformative benefits of taking the time to dive deeply into a practice of daily mindfulness – mind, body and spirit.

This is a chance to deeply focus on your inner whisperings, to tune into what your body needs, and to nourish yourself completely. Treat yourself and your soul, to a week dedicated entirely to you.

Our days will begin with mindful movement (Qi Gong or Yoga) and guided meditation, followed by a beautiful, healthy breakfast. We’ll re-gather for a dharma talk and instruction time, and then there will be plenty of free time to walk the beach, hang out in a hammock, schedule an excursion or spa treatment, spend time with friends, rest, or play – suit yourself. Later in the afternoon, we will have a yoga class followed by a guided practice of meditation and journaling. In the evening, we will offer restorative yoga to invite the body and mind to relax and release.

Augusta, David and Stacy are all seasoned teachers. Their approach is attentive, compassionate, light-hearted, and supportive. All the practices they offer are designed to open the heart and to help you discover what moves you further into balance, alignment and integrity – on and off the mat. Our intention for each participant is to leave the retreat feeling inspired, restored  and in touch with the wisdom of the heart and the whisperings of the soul.

No prior yoga or meditation experience is required. All levels are welcome. The only requirement is the willingness to show up and explore.

Augusta and David,
Thank you so very much for facilitating the Listening to the Soul retreat! Connecting with old friends and new, it was Renewing, Refreshing and so Informative... you covered it all! I’m grateful.

Donna Fucich


David & Augusta, you are incredible souls! I can't thank you enough for your inspiring and insightful week in beautiful Mar de Jade. When friends ask me about the experience, I am at a loss for words on how to sufficiently express the impact of the retreat. You are in my heart forever.

Donna Hoppe


There is good in the world and Augusta and David, you are seminal examples. May your seeds of joy and wisdom continue to spread as far and wide as your open hearts reach. I’ve always believed that language was key to world peace. Now I know a bit more of the language of the soul.....and I want to speak it well and often, and in the company of native speakers. Thank you for teaching me.
