Journey to Resilience at Rosewood Mayakoba

Riviera Maya, Mexico – Located on its own private island in the heart of Rosewood Mayakoba, Sense, A Rosewood Spa, has debuted the Journey to Resilience, an integrative three day personal retreat dedicated to cultivating positivism, adaptability, purpose and empathy. The Journey to Resilience features a balance of Ayurvedic and Mayan healing principles that guests can experience among the privacy and seclusion of the Resort’s lush, expansive landscape in Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Embracing a multifaceted and holistic approach to a resilience practice, the Journey to Resilience is designed to create awareness and connection between the mind and body through a personalized series of guided rituals led by Rosewood Mayakoba’s team of wellness experts.

The three-day Journey to Resilience itinerary includes:

Resilience insights

A one-on-one meeting with Daniel Seymour, visiting Ayurveda and Aromatherapy Clinician, for an introduction to the Journey to Resilience and to align the program with the guests’ personal intentions. Guests will gain an expanded understanding of the fundamentals of resilience from an Ayurvedic perspective, cultivating four behavioral pillars, setting the stage for the Journey in its entirety.

Stretching and mobility

Each morning focuses on stretching and mobility in a series of classes that focus on teaching the mind and body to connect, aligning intentions, decisions and behaviors. The techniques taught are specifically designed to promote qualities such as stability, rhythm, and adaptability, creating a positive mind-body connection.

Conscious body ritual

A collection of 11 bespoke essential oil blends have been created to help restore balance in key pressure points on the body harnessing each’s therapeutic benefits such as marjoram (targets the fourth chakra located in the heart to help remove fear and restlessness) and carrot seed (promotes the qualities of the first chakra that brings light and hope); the ritual also includes lymphatic drainage to help remove toxins from the body.

Ayurveda aromatherapy massage

This grounding experience of the Journey to Resilience starts with a gentle stretching of the neck to remove tensions followed by a full body Ayurveda massage, balancing the different energy points of the body. This treatment relieves physical and mental fatigue and increases joint, sleep and digestive health, decreasing inflammation, joint pain, and muscle stiffness.

Prana ritual

Prana, meaning breath, allows for guests to focus on their habitual energy, restoring their senses to help them achieve a blissful state. Focusing on scent, the Prana Ritual is an intensive aromatherapy immersion awakening the memory while resetting the limbic system of the brain which balances emotion and the overall energy in the body.

The rhythms of nature

Incorporating an ancient Vedic practice, an early form of Sanskrit, that focuses on sound, the Rhythms of Nature is a vibrational therapy to elevate consciousness. A method of full body meditation, the Journey to Resilience will culminate with this evening practice, setting up each guest for a relaxing, deep sleep.

Guests will also have time at leisure to enjoy the beautiful facilities at the resort and self-reflect on the teachings of the day, and will be provided with an array of wellness tools to utilize post-Journey. The Journey to Resilience is available over a 3 night stay and is USD $2,500, accommodations not included.
