A dive retreat designed to leave you inspired ✨

Join us at Mahai Retreat in Mahahual, Mexico for Depth & Discovery: A Mahai & Takata Dive Expedition — a week of reef immersion, ocean adventure, coral restoration, oceanfront relaxation and exploration of the incredible Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.

Whether you’re a first time diver ready to earn your PADI Open Water Certification or you’re already a certified diver, you’ll spend your days exploring the reef with Takata Experience’s expert dive team and your evenings unwinding at Mahai.

Together, we’ll explore coral reefs, learn about marine conservation, participate in reef restoration efforts, and experience the beauty of life above and below the water.

Between dives, return to Mahai for nourishing meals, yoga, breathwork, tea baths, massage, hammocks, and sunsets over the sea.

When Karena Virginia speaks about healing, you can feel yourself relax — she isn't talking about something out of reach or performative, she is talking about an ongoing relationship with presence, love, and authenticity.

In this edition of Voices of Mahai, Karena shares reflections on quiet mornings, self care, boundaries, loneliness, and the practices that help her return to herself.

We spoke with her ahead of her upcoming 5 Levels of Healing Retreat at Mahai.

🌴Coconut Ceviche 🥥 A Dish That Begins with the Trees🌴

One of the things we love most about this recipe is that it begins long before the kitchen.
It begins with the coconut trees growing around the property, nurtured by the sea and the earth, the coconuts shared with guests during the day, and the love of feeding our guests from the bounty of this beautiful property where care for our guests.

At Mahai, some of our favorite meals emerge that way — slowly, collaboratively, and in relationship with the land around us.

Over the past year, we’ve watched Mahai become what we dreamed it could be — a place where people reconnect with themselves, with nature, and with one another.

This coming season brings together an incredible collection of retreats devoted to healing, music, movement, ocean connection, creativity, restoration, and transformation.

Some are intimate gatherings. Some are adventurous expeditions. Some are quiet spaces to breathe again.

A place changes when you see it through an artist’s eyes. Through Clark’s lens, Mahai becomes a study in light, texture, and quiet magic.
Moments we live every day… seen in a way we’ve never quite seen before. Thank you Katie for helping us see the depth of this beauty.

What does it feel like to live inside a fully self-sustaining ecosystem?

At Mahai, the sun powers our days through solar energy.
Rain becomes our water source.
And the water we use flows through our humedales—living gardens that naturally filter and return it to the earth.

Nothing here is hidden behind walls or pipes.
You can see the systems.
You can walk through them.
You can understand how a place can exist in balance with its environment.

Spending a week in a place where the rhythms of nature are visible everywhere—
the sun providing energy, the rain filling the cisterns, the gardens cleaning the water—
changes how you feel.

Life slows down.
The connection to the earth becomes tangible.
And many people leave inspired to bring small pieces of this way of living back into their own lives.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to live in harmony with the natural systems around you…

Come experience it.

At Waking Woman Retreat, rites of passage are sacred spaces where women are witnessed through moments of deep biological, emotional, and spiritual transition — moments often lived in silence or solitude.

Each rite is thoughtfully shaped around the unique needs of the woman being honored, while being held by the collective presence of the circle.

Every story brings medicine to one another, every transition is worthy of care, reverence, and celebration.

This is the power of gathering.
This is the power of women holding women.
