Renee is now deeply passionate about being in service and sharing her joy for life. She also gives great hugs.
Antonio
Antonio is like a secret weapon. At Jeela, they love to help people open and express themselves but sometimes people need a little nudge, or even a crack. Antonio is the resident masseur, but is so much more than just that. His connection goes far deeper than just the body, working both on an emotional and spiritual level. All done with a deep sense of love and care from a man whom Jeela deeply respect. He is also Renee's partner and they are both certified Wim Hof instructors who love to expose people to the cold water therapy.
Location
Nestled between Playa del Carmen and Tulum is the hidden paradise of Xpu Ha, only 50 minutes from the international airport in Cancun.
The retreat center is called Onze and is a 15-minute drive into the jungle from the nearby dreamy beach. It was finished in 2023 so it is brand new and very comfortable.
The magic of that place is not just the beautiful shala, sound dome, pool area, and cozy kitchen, but in the big mystical and magical cenote that is private just for the retreat goers.
Expect to wake up with the peaceful sounds of the jungle, witness dreamy sunsets over the trees, and stargaze around the bonfire at night with likeminded souls.
