the sacred space | EXPANSION | May 12-17, 2020

July 14, 2019 by Ryan

Join us, May 12-17, 2020, for 5 nights, 6 days of breathing in your e-x-p-a-n-s-i-o-n and returning home. The Sacred Space Retreat will walk alongside you, to heal and open your mind, body, heart, and soul. We will be deep-diving into our own personal healing journeys, via breathwork, yoga, and meditation. Expect amazing conscious conversations, early morning meditations, flowing yoga practices, delicious food, individual wellness consults, group and one-on-one breathwork experiences, creative space , and plenty of s-p-a-c-e to breathe, rest, and soak-up this beautiful retreat space .

The ocean is calling, do you hear her? You will leave our time together changed. You will leave clear. You will leave inspired to take the steps necessary to live THE life you love.

My mission is for each and every woman to live and breathe from a connected, peace-filled, WHOLE-heart space. I know that when women begin to show up for themselves, in a real way…choosing to WAKE UP, they heal, the people around them find healing, and the world begins to change.

“Each time women gather in circles with one another, the world heals a little more.”

Your Boutique Bungalow

Present Moment is the perfect antidote to the chaos of everyday life. Authenticity was imperative in the construction of every inch of this resort.

Just a 30 second walk the beach, let the sounds of the ocean lure you to sleep each night.

With 3 air conditioned suites, for those seeking a little more similarity to the comforts of home. Centrally located, you will be just steps away from the beach, amazing yoga classes, massage, and fine dining. If you enjoy strolling the shore at sunrise, these stunning bungalows will have you on your way in no time. Hand-crafted and beautifully appointed, a true home away from home.

About Troncones & Getting Here

At the heart of charming Troncones Beach, nestled between the lush mountains of the Sierra Madre and the sparkling Mexican Riviera, Present Moment Retreat combines the ambience of nature’s grandeur with personally challenging mind-body work, set in harmony on beautifully-landscaped tropical grounds.

Troncones Beach is a small, recently-developed community situated on some 3 miles of pristine Pacific beach – a strand of white sand punctuated by occasional rock outcroppings often harboring tidepools teeming with fascinating saltwater life. The charming village is home to a small school, a public library (donated by generous local residents for education of the village’s children), a church, several dry goods outlets and a few other small provisioning services for essential items. All of these are couched within a traditional and tropical Mexican ambience.

You can fly into Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, the airport is located only 20 miles north and an easy 45-minute drive. The international airport is serviced by a number of International airlines including Alaska Airlines, Continental, American, America West, Frontier Airlines, Mexicana and Aeromexico. Troncones Beach is highly connected, yet still a world apart. Its proximity to Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo affords you a full choice of shopping conveniences and recreational possibilities, all just a short distance from your world-class yoga retreat and resort. We can assist you with booking all flights and airport transportation.

The Beauty Sojourners | March 23 – 30, 2024

May 5, 2022 by Brandi Hand

Turn Back Time at Present Moment. A journey of discovery.

After a long day of travel, I removed my shoes to wander onto the beach. The water was warm and it soothes my feet as the waves ripple in. I am surrounded by vibrant colors of the sunset that are penetrating my entire body deep into my soul. I want to be here forever as the darkness comes in like a navy blue blanket and the stars are like diamonds in the sky

A portal has opened into the next morning and I have traveled back in time to a beautiful village that is just opening its eyes to the morning sun. What a restful first night to sleep so soundly with waves lulling me. My bungalow sits on the edge of a jungle and I hear the tropical birds singing “Buenas días” My window shows a view of the rooftops and the ocean view have I jumped a timeline? It’s surreal – or… am I hallucinating?

Your accommodations

There are 5 open-air bungalows with authentic Mexican Palapa roofs. Every bungalow is a unique interpretation of a theme and each one is decorated in artisan furnishings and artwork from the region.

Available with 1 Queen or 2 Twin Beds for sharing

They are named Bliss, Compassion, Renewal, Tranquility, and Wisdom

There might be a message for you in which one you choose??

Serenity, Intuition, and Peace are 3 Air-conditioned Suites located near the pool and have an overview of the ocean for those wanting a more upscale experience decorated with artisan furnishings and pillow top 400 ct bedding for a single queen or shared 2 twin beds.

Large Bungalow – Queen and two twins

Two larger bungalows are called Unity and Harmony

They are designed to accommodate up to 4 shares in twin beds or any other combination for 3-4 participants.

There is a large deck on the outside for catching a spectacular sunset.

Younger Every Day

How wonderful it would be to see your reflection looking back at you in the mirror? Younger every day after breathing clean ocean air, eating fresh gourmet meals, and sleeping soundly every night, it’s a Boho Chic Pura Vida.

You have come to the right place… the Present Moment! The Beauty Sojourners will teach you to just Do the Best You – negating and reversing the effects of the modern world, stress, and pressure.

While you are here, you will be surrounded by supportive goddesses who found their youth again and love you unconditionally.

Living in the present moment is noticing every cell in your body is wide awake and vibrating at a higher frequency. You feel more alive more grounded connected to ourself.

We all want to look younger and yoga is the secret weapon of aging gracefully If all the other muscles in our body need this tender loving care then why shouldn’t the 46 muscles of our face and neck?

Face yoga looks weird and targets all the problem areas that come with aging from crow’s feet to smile lines to jowls. So of course the neck and jawline are included!

Benefits
