What makes a Return 2 Human experience truly special is its blend of physical activities, creative workshops, and nutritious, high-quality meals. Participants engage in workouts that challenge and invigorate them, while creative workshops allow them to explore and express their artistic sides. The emphasis on fresh, wholesome meals ensures that everyone feels nourished and energized.

This retreat experience becomes even more meaningful as we partner with the well-known nonprofit Hope to Walk, which works to gift prosthetic legs to those in need worldwide. A portion of each guest’s package cost goes directly toward providing a prosthetic leg, adding an extra layer of purpose to the transformative and unforgettable journey.

Our aim is to connect people to the world in a way that makes life feel brighter, more vivid, and beautiful—creating a profound connection to both self and others, and leaving a lasting, positive impact on everyone involved.

The total cost includes accommodations, group activities, and all meals, with the exception of daily lunches (unless we are on-site during that time).

Please note that flights and additional extras, such as massages, souvenirs, and snacks, are not included. Any purchases made outside of the venue are at the client's discretion.

Absolutely! This will be our first co-ed experience since the summer of 2021. We welcome all individuals aged 21 and older to apply.

Our packages offer two distinct options to accommodate your preferences: single occupancy and double occupancy. The single occupancy package provides you with a private room, offering a peaceful, intimate retreat experience where you can unwind in solitude. Alternatively, the double occupancy package pairs you with a like-minded roommate, ideal for those looking to connect and share their journey. Both options are designed to ensure comfort and relaxation while fostering a sense of community.

Please note that double occupancy rooms may involve sharing a queen-sized bed or having your own single bed, depending on availability. If you have a preference, kindly indicate it on the form. Rooms are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

To attend, all guests are required to complete a Guest Application Form. This allows Melissa to connect with you on a deeper level before you make any financial commitment, ensuring that this experience aligns with your goals. It also helps us maintain the safety and well-being of both the R2H team and every guest involved.

IxBalam, the Temple of Umbilical Arts, carries a profound significance—its name a reminder of the most innate connection we have ever known. The umbilical cord, our first tether to life, symbolizes our original bond to nourishment, safety, and existence itself. Long before we took our first breath, we were held, sustained, and deeply intertwined with the source of life. This temple honors that sacred connection, inviting us to remember that we were never separate to begin with—to return to the wholeness that has always been within us.
