A NOTE
FROM CAROLE

Welcome!

I am so happy you're here, and I cannot wait to hold space for you on this retreat and share the magic that Tulum has to offer. This will be my 5th Women's Retreat at Amansala Tulum, and my heart is now at home with them.

This Women's Retreat is extremely sacred as these classes and workshops contain the tools and techniques that have transformed many lives, mine included, and it is my mission to pass this wisdom onto you now. These are the secrets to a better mindset, more confidence, increased energy, and the courage it takes to not only discover yourself, but to share that version of yourself with the world, and take up space in your truest, most authentic form.

 

I am here to uplift, encourage and empower you to create your dream life, and become the woman you were always destined to become.

Free Spirited Wanderer Retreats have been created to provide a life-changing experience based on two main concepts;

1) To build Kula; intentional community, the feeling that life is best when shared.
2) The human desire to live a truly meaningful & fulfilling life. 

Each retreat brings these two concepts alive as we travel to exceptional locations around the world and move through a variety of yoga classes, workshops and excursions, providing you with the self-exploration, adventure, connection and freedom your heart & soul seeks.

"This retreat was more than I could have ever imagined. It gave me my power back. Carole's warmth, knowledge and overall energy was very healing to me. The yoga changed me from the inside out in just 5 days, the workshops healed my soul, the resort and views were beautiful. But the most important party were the women I met, and the friendships that formed. Knowing I was not the only one going through something hard and being around real genuine women was soothing and helped me more than I can explain. I came back home different.....better...and I am so very grateful for it." - Kim. M

CALLING ALL GODDESSES...

This retreat is for the woman who is ready to fully step into her power and unleash her inner-goddess because she believes in her so wholeheartedly.

She wants some guidance in accessing her in a way that feels safe, supported, loving, expansive and FUN.

 

She believes in her inner-goddess's ability to awaken & activate.

 

She believes in her desire to be wild & free.

 

She believes in her strength to rise, to shine, to thrive.

 

She believes in her sacredness to make everyday precious, pleasurable and purposeful.

 

She believes in her nudges to slow you down, to rest, to contemplate and integrate - reminding you this is just as important as the work.

 

She believes in her courage to feel her feelings.

 

She believes in her fearlessness to embody who she truly is, trusting she has so much to offer and the world needs her.

 

She believes in her inner knowing to guide you back home to her unconditional love for you.

 

She believes in her POWER.

 

Oh yes, she has so much power.

It’s her innate state.

Everything she does is guiding you back home to this power.

 

You are powerful beyond all measure.

You are limitless.

You are here for purpose.

You are a freaking GODDESS!

 

Are you ready to tap into this inner-goddess, become your truest, most authentic self and live a truly fulfilling life?

We will awaken & activate all of this through physical yoga practices, meditation, journaling, solar plexus chakra work, intuitive dance, authentic feminine connection and rest & relaxation.

Amansala was founded on the belief that a true vacation is one where you come back looking and feeling better than when you arrived. ​We are a full service resort that puts equal emphasis on indulgence as it does on the restoration of the mind, body and spirit. We believe in creating an experience that centers around the natural beauty and resources unique to Tulum. We use natural materials and resources to create simple yet beautiful rooms, a menu full of fresh delicious food and an atmosphere that feels more like staying at a friends beach house than a hotel.​

 

Whatever you are looking for, it is our goal to create an experience that you will never forget where you can do as little, or as much as you want.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST RETREATS AT AMANSALA, TULUM

This was a huge, scary commitment for me- with small children at home it seemed impossible to leave and to spend that amount of time and money on myself but I did it and I am so happy I did. It was such an amazing experience that I didn’t know I needed till I was there. Carole was absolutely wonderful!! She is such a beautiful soul, working with her was a delight. I would highly recommend taking a retreat with Carole, I can’t wait to go again.
