Details of this retreat
A few days with the phone off and the meals handled, in a quiet house above Valle de Bravo. La Fuente is our adobe homestead, and we host one or two guests at a time.
Each day brings a 60 to 90 minute session with Alexa, who holds an MA in Holistic Counseling. Her work is somatic, attachment-based and trauma-informed: a place to slow down enough to hear what's been under the noise. Around it, the day is yours. Stay entirely silent, entirely unplugged, or simply slow, with the steam dome, the cold plunge, the garden and the hammock in between.
Meals come three times a day from the garden and the local market, so there's nothing to plan.
It's a good fit for burnout, grief, or a transition such as a divorce, a diagnosis, a career ending or a child leaving home. You leave with a written summary of the week, and online follow-up sessions help it hold at home.
This is a retreat, not medical treatment, and there is no ceremony during the stay.
Valle de Bravo is about two and a half hours by road from Mexico City. We can arrange a private car from the airport or your hotel.

La Fuente is Luke and Alexa's adobe homestead in the hills above Valle de Bravo, a lake town two and a half hours from Mexico City. It's a working home, not a resort: a house and a guest bungalow on a wide lawn, a vegetable and herb garden, a pergola for morning movement, a hand-built steam dome, a cold plunge, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber with infrared panels, and hammocks under the trees. We host one or two guests at a time, so it stays quiet.
