This retreat is designed for everyone — from total beginners to experienced makers and surfers. Our focus is on igniting creativity through nature, movement, and group play. We’ll experiment with clay in ways that feel fresh and fun: from “ugly pot” contests to collaborative stacking sculptures that get everyone laughing, exploring, and trying new things. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and equipped with new skills to bring back to your home studio.
We’ll get into our bodies through surfing (truly no experience needed), unwind with a restorative massage, and close the retreat with an authentic Cacao + Fire Ceremony — a heart-opening experience to connect deeply with yourself and the group.
Your home for the week is Casa Iteri, a newly built eco-lodge literally made of clay — a natural, grounding space just steps from both the ocean and the studio.
Set in Lo de Marcos, a small fishing village on Mexico’s west coast where the jungle meets the sea, the retreat offers warm swim-friendly beaches, slow-living vibes, and the perfect backdrop for creativity, connection, and play.
