Overview

This is an opportunity to gather in community in a beautiful tropical paradise and work directly with Medium Anna Blossom who leads people though life-changing transformation, helps them find their life path direction aligning toward what is most abundant, relevant and beneficial for, not only the self, but also for the highest good.

Where we’ll stay

Our top-rated retreat center is at the heart of charming Troncones Beach, nestled between the lush mountains of the Sierra Madre and the sparkling Mexican Riviera, 20 miles north of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo on the Pacific Coast. It is a beautiful sanctuary right on the beach with miles of unspoiled white sand beaches. Eleven delightful villas around a sparkling pool, meditation gardens and an on-site restaurant that features delicious, healthy gourmet cuisine.

The Experience

Wake in the mornings to the gentle sound of the waves and warm tropical breezes. Choose an early swim, join the morning meditation and/or yoga class offered by retreat center staff or take a beach walk. Delicious, healthy, high quality breakfasts are included each day. 

Workshops and group sessions will happen daily in the Yoga Pavilion. Each day will offer a new way to explore and deepen your connection with yourself and align with the joy that feeds your soul. Workshops and sessions will include exercises and experiences to access and replenish your core essence through guided meditation, energy healing, writing, creativity, intuitive connection, sound healing, music and movement.

Afternoons are free and open for your own exploration. Take a walk on the beach, a swim or a nap, write in your journal or snorkel at Troncones point, a short walk up the beach. This is your chance to schedule one of the many offerings available a-la-carte for an extra fee: a private sound healing session with Kara or a private or small group mediumship or intuitive guidance session with Anna. The retreat center can also schedule additional adventures such as massage and spa services, horse-back riding on the beach, baby turtle release, an eco kayak tour or a surf lesson.

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.

The international airport is serviced by a number of International airlines including Alaska Airlines, Continental, American, America West, Frontier Airlines, Mexicana and Aeromexico.

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 ambiance 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 the 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 ambiance.

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.

Mary Langfield and Ruth Paisley


Mary Langfield

Mary is a Classical Homeopath, Certified Holistic Health Coach, Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic Specialist, Energy Worker (Reiki and Thai Massage), and seeker of truth – physical, emotional, spiritual. She has always loved and needed physical activity in her life. However, when she found the spiritual teachings of yoga she finally felt whole.

Mary earned her 235 and 500 Hour RYT with Devanadi Yoga and continues to study with her teacher Yogarupa (Rod Stryker) and one day hopes to become Parayoga certified. In the meantime, she tries her best to weave in all the aspects of yoga she has learned into her classes: Mindful Sequencing, Asana, Bandhas, Pranayama, Mudra, Mantra, Meditation, Chakras, etc…join her for her weekly class or one of her workshops!

Ruth Paisley

Ruth began her yoga practice about 20 years ago.  After several years of quite inconsistent but always beneficial practice, she became a more committed yoga student in 2012 with Mary Langfield as one of her regular teachers.  A desire to learn more about yoga led her to teacher training at Devanadi Yoga in 2014.  Nearing retirement from a teaching and school administration career, she completed the 235 YTT and began teaching a Silver Sneakers yoga class.  

Retirement brought a rekindling of a love of movement and exercise. Ruth began taking weight training, Pilates, yoga, and spinning classes regularly. Looking to learn more she added Yin Yoga certification and training in Chair Yoga.  She is currently pursuing training and certification in teaching Stott Pilates Mat and Intensive Reformer.  And she just bought a bicycle!

Ruth currently spends her time in physical activity, enjoying good food, talking with friends, traveling to new and favorite places, gardening, and reading.  She teaches Silver Sneakers Yoga, Chair Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Pilates classes. Classes with Ruth intentionally focus on the role of breath in movement and exploring the self as the basis for impact and connection to others and our world.  Her favorite times are spent with her husband, children, and grandchildren especially when the arts or nature are a part of the experience.

Our beautifully designed accommodations and loving staff will please even the most discerning guests.
