Jeela is a Mayan word for freedom. We got fed up listening to the limiting voices in our heads telling us that we are “not good enough”, and found liberation on our paths of self-exploration through yoga, meditation, breathwork, and the connection and activation of our voices.
Discover your hidden superpowers and embark on a life-changing experience using the simplest tool available, your breath. This retreat combines Wim Hof cold water therapy with breathwork and takes place in the dreamy beach town of El Cuyo, Mexico. A perfect setting for you to liberate yourself and undergo a profound transformation. With guidance from certified Wim Hof instructors, expect to leave this retreat empowered, renewed, high on life, and bursting with joy!

For many people, music is something you just can’t live without. In every culture all across the world, people love to dance, sing, scream, and cry because it moves us so much. Can you imagine a world without music? It is always surrounding us, from movie scores to the simple sound of waves crashing on the shore. But it is so much more than just a nice thing to listen to. Music is a way for us to connect with our higher self, it is a way for us to heal and it is a way for us to gather as a family. This is why Jeela was created. To help people on their journey of self-discovery and healing, armed with music as the medicine.
Founded in 2020 by two best friends, Josh and Renee, they acknowledged their shared passion and decided to make experiences to assist others on their paths to go deeper into healing through sound. Surrounded by incredible fellow artists and facilitators they decided to bring the whole community together to share their vibration with a broader audience. The idea is to use music as a modality to open the heart, express, form a community, and break free from self-limiting beliefs. At Jeela you don’t need to be a ‘musician’ to participate. It is about liberating yourself, letting go, being curious, and feeling inspired to share what is truly in your heart without fear of judgment from yourself or others. That is the medicine.
Do you want to feel vibrant, empowered, inspired, joyful, rejuvenated, and excited about life? Then this retreat is perfect for you.
Throughout the journey together, you will confront and transcend our limiting beliefs and self-doubts. There is no magic pill, only getting out of your own way. Your instructors, qualified by Wim Hof, will guide you through every step. Guaranteed tears, laughter, and a load of new friendships! And, of course, all of this is offered in the spirit of Jeela, which means fun, music, and community.
