October 27 – November 2, 2024

Pura Vida Retreat, Yelapa, Mexico

With Saul David Raye, Zat Baraka Elias & Masood Ali Khan
And special guests Rodrigo Balleste & Chris Depriest

Join us for a powerful week of sacred brotherhood, embodied practice, deep inner work, ceremony and the healing power of nature.

Dear Brothers {& Sisters}!

We are each a part of the whole, a part of this world and as we heal, as we do our inner work we become the healing that this world needs. We each have our own path to walk and there is also an important time to come together, to be in community, to support, process & reflect together, to challenge each other with respect and to heal together, to lift each other, ourselves and world up. There is great value and power in men being together in a healing way and doing this work. This is why we created this week to come together, be in community in a healing place and support and grow together in this journey of life as men.

Yes! We are living in powerful times and they offer us a gift. A gift of our presence, integrity and strength, an opportunity that challenges us to become better humans, better men, to ignite the fire within our hearts and souls and nurture the deeper meaning of our lives. To consider our sacred purpose in this life and bring forth the gift of our presence as men of heart and soul.

This retreat will offer the space for deep practice, healing, and the inner work needed to support you in cultivating the courage and tools to advance you on your path to mastery and purpose. Throughout the week, you will engage in a range of deep and highly effective practices, including daily embodiment and movement, meditation, transformational breath-work, men’s circle group work, and authentic healing ceremonies.

This retreat offers you a heartfelt sanctuary from everyday life, a reverently held space where your safety, growth, healing, and empowerment are our deepest commitments

It can be of great benefit to be with other men in community, in practice and in ceremony. We are inspired to be in this space with you and we welcome you to join us for a powerful, nourishing and transforming week of brotherhood, practice, presence, inquiry and inner work.

We will have daily movement, meditation and breath work practices. Group work, circles and authentic healing ceremonies including a Sacred Temezcal fire ceremony and also an optional traditional rapé ceremony. A one day vision quest on a deserted island and time to rest in silence and contemplation. We will each be challenged this week to find inner strength, courage, softness and compassion. This is a time to be truly yourself, reconnect to the Fire in your Heart, your purpose and the power of the sacred masculine presence within you.

This retreat brings together a group of men with over a 100 years of combined experience and the extraordinary power of conscious brotherhood.

All men are welcome to join us in the Spirit of peace, healing, mutual respect & inner growth.

Flow Into Fall: Unlocking Abundance and Awakening Vitality
September 27–29, 2024
Sianna Sherman and Masood Ali Khan

Flow into fall to awaken the inner codes of abundance and vitality with yoga, nature, and community. As we journey into the autumn season, we are guided to turn within and alchemize the inner gold. In the yoga tradition, there are four key aims — purpose, prosperity, love, and liberation — to support this transformation in body, mind, and heart, and when you activate them in a balanced way, your whole life shines.

In this embodied yoga retreat, you’ll discover the key components to awaken and renew these codes in you. Together, we’ll explore the alchemical practices of:

Asana (physical yoga postures)
Pranayama (breathing techniques)
Mantra (healing sound vibration)
Mudra (energy seals created by the hands)
Meditation (expanded states of awareness)
Purusharthas (the four aims awakening in you)

In this retreat, Sianna and Masood will share stories, music, and practices to awaken and strengthen the four aims of purpose, prosperity, love, and liberation in your life with four thematic journeys:

Friday: Invoking Lakshmi — a welcoming practice of asana, mantra, mudra, meditation, setting your intention, and deep rest to restore. Hear the stories of Lakshmi, the yogic goddess of beauty, abundance, healing, and harmony.

Saturday: Rise with Courage — a more up-tempo practice of core work, functional movement, dynamic breathing, and creative patterns of movement to awaken your power and renew your vision.

Saturday: Transform with Love — an introspective practice to turn toward your inner genius to make the shifts your soul is longing for. This practice will focus on hip openers, forward folds, twists, and a sound healing journey.

Sunday: Shine the Radiant Codes — a soulful practice of vinyasa flow, backbends, heart fire vision, and the four aims shining through you. This is a community celebration with vision, vitality, mantra, music, and the love frequency!

Awaken the abundance codes and be an agent of purpose, prosperity, love, and liberation for all beings.

Sianna Sherman and Masood Ali Khan invite you to a weekend of yoga, hot tubs relaxation on the beautiful cliffside of the pacific ocean.

Awaken the codes of radiant love with yoga, nature, and community. In the yoga tradition, there are seven key energy centers called chakras that support transformation in body, mind, and heart. Each chakra helps to transform wounds into wisdom and pain into love.

Learn how to activate these seven centers with breath, movement, and sound currents. The chakras help us to embody prosperity, intimacy, courage, love, clarity, intuition, and connection. They support us with greater vitality and healing energy. Think of the chakras as portals through which we unlock gifts in body, psyche, and life.

Together, we’ll explore the alchemical practices of:

• asana (physical yoga postures)

• pranayama (breathing techniques)

• mantra (healing sound vibration)

• mudra (energy seals created by the hands)

• meditation (expanded states of awareness)

• guided visualization with the seven chakras

Experience the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, one of the seven wonders of the world, and be guided in traditional Andean ceremony and immerse in Peruvian culture.
