Show
A sound alchemist, sound healer, and multidisciplinary artist from Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, René teaches seminars and retreats in Mexico, Canada and Europe, as well as performing concerts, therapies, and sound journeys. He has created a unique therapy based on the symbiosis of being in nature, where he fuses instruments from different parts of the planet to create a sonic alchemy. The goal is to work with all energy levels and restore internal harmony from their root and voice.
Location
The retreat will take place in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Playa del Carmen, a former fishing village, is now an incomparable Riviera Maya destination with lively bars and trendy boutiques alongside local taquerias and elegant luxury hotels, all with a more authentic Mexican flair than what you would find on the Cancun coast. During the day, enjoy the beach and at night, stroll along La Quinta Avenida and enjoy the warm nights. On its shores, you will find incredible diving and snorkeling options, while the ancient ruins of the Coba tower stretch over the nearby jungle.
