Rebirth Retreat EAT PRAY LOVE Recap Puerto Vallarta

EAT, PRAY, LOVE—these words have resonated deeply with many of us, a timeless reminder of life’s cyclical nature, its trials, and the possibility for transformation. As Alix and Dr. David Long take time off on maternity leave, a new chapter is unfolding for them, one that intertwines the complexities of loss, love, and new beginnings. In their absence, Cally Skye, Dionne, and Katie have arrived in Mexico to lead the Rebirth Retreat, a transformative experience designed to help individuals navigate grief, rediscover personal wellness, and reconnect with their deeper selves.

It’s almost poetic, though entirely unintentional, that the circumstances surrounding the retreat mirror the very themes we explore here: life’s unpredictable nature, the paradox of joy and sorrow, and the beauty found in the process of healing. Alix and Dr. David Long, who both experienced the heart-wrenching loss of their previous spouses, are now embarking on a new chapter in their lives as not only a newly married couple but as parents for the sixth time. It’s a journey of profound resilience, as they blend together a blended family, much like the Brady Bunch, but through the lens of grief.

As we begin our exploration in Mexico, Katie Coffee, an experienced grief mentor and wellness coach, leads us on an extraordinary journey to Puerto Vallarta—a town rich in culture, natural beauty, and deep spiritual significance.

In this sacred space, participants in the Rebirth Retreat are encouraged to explore the complex layers of their grief, reclaim their personal power, and reconnect with their ancestral wisdom. Cynthia Corfah, a retreat participant, shares her deeply personal experience of how she connected with her ancestors during this journey, discovering not only the stories of those who came before her but also the strength and resilience that runs through her bloodline. Through guided meditation, nature immersion, and storytelling, she uncovered insights that have helped her heal and move forward in an empowered way.

The Rebirth Retreat focuses on the healing power of grief—an understanding that grief is not something to be fixed or avoided, but a natural and transformative process that can lead to personal growth. By embracing grief, we unlock the potential for deep emotional and spiritual healing, allowing us to fully embrace life once more. Through a combination of wellness practices, mindfulness techniques, and grief mentoring, participants are supported in navigating their individual journeys toward healing, self-acceptance, and renewal.

If you’re ready to embark on your own healing journey and discover how grief can lead to personal growth, we invite you to read more about Cynthia Corfah’s transformative experience here. Her story offers a deeper look into how reconnecting with ancestral roots can bring clarity, healing, and insight into the grieving process.
