Seven Days. Seven Years. Seven Retreats. The Art of Returning with Jenny Kaufman

There is something sacred about returning.

For seven years, I have been coming back to Xinalani, this extraordinary sanctuary tucked between the jungle and the ocean in Mexico. Each visit has met me at a different moment in my life, and each time, it has offered exactly what I didn’t know I needed. This upcoming retreat will be my seventh trip, and that feels meaningful in a way that’s hard to put into words.

Xinalani is not just a destination, it is an experience. A place where the natural beauty is breathtaking, the food is vibrant and nourishing, and the people, both those who hold the space and those who gather there, are truly special. It is a place that invites transformation, connection, and a deep exhale. There are also beautiful hikes on and around the property, so there is always something to explore, whether you are craving quiet time or a bit of adventure.

February 20 to 27, 2027. Seven days, held within the energy of the number seven once again. There is something undeniably aligned about it. How lucky are we?

This retreat is an invitation to return, not just to a place, but to yourself.

Repetition lives everywhere in nature. In the steady rhythm of the waves meeting the shore. In the rings of a tree marking time. In the way the sun rises and sets, again and again, without fail. In the cycles of the moon, the tides, the breath in and the breath out. Nothing in nature rushes past repetition, it moves through it, and because of that, it deepens.

Returning is not going backward. It is how we grow.

Our yoga practice will meet you exactly where you are. All levels are welcome. Whether you are brand new or have been practicing for years, this is a space to explore, soften, and reconnect. There is no expectation, only invitation.

This is not a women only retreat. Xinalani is one of the most beautiful places I know to share with someone you love. Partners, friends, spouses, this is a rare opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and into something meaningful, together.

If you have been wondering where to go in the heart of winter, this might be it.

Seven days. A return.
