Itacaré, Bahia, Brazil
March 9-15, 2025

Escape to our Alchemical Waves Retreat in Itacaré, Bahia, where the rhythms of the Atlantic Ocean meet the soulful echoes of the heart of Brazil. Nestled on the serene Cacao Coast, this retreat offers a sacred pause after the Carnival revelry—a chance to renew, reset, and reconnect with your truest self.

 

From March 9-15, 2025, as the full moon eclipse in Virgo casts its transformative glow, we invite you to delve deep into your subconscious, tapping into the power of positive thinking and intention. Here, you'll learn to harness the strength of your own mind, aligning your inner world with the changes you seek in your life. This isn't just a retreat; it's a journey into the very heart of who you are and who you can become.

 

We balance activities with enough free time to explore on your own, hang with your fellow guests and also simply process your experience. We chose a location by the beach for a reason! So expect a healthy amount of beach time! 

 

Join us in Bahia this March, and let the Alchemical Waves Retreat guide you through a profound detox of mind, body, and soul, under the transformative energies of the Virgo full moon eclipse. This is more than just a retreat—it’s an invitation to step into a new chapter of your life, with the power of nature and your own mind as your guide.

We recommend a healthy understanding of your shadow and subconscious motivations when you arrive, but no previous subconscious work is necessary. Megan will be connecting in a Zoom meeting with guests about 2 weeks prior to the retreat, to explain what this means and how you can prepare. It’s not scary! It’s fun and empowering!

Megan Frye

Megan Frye is an independent writer, translator and Yoga Alliance registered RYT200 yoga teacher living in Mexico. An eternal student of photography, astrology, music and yoga, she came into hypnotherapy during the year of her Gemini nodal return. She’s the human behind Healing Wave Hypnosis.

You could say hypnotherapy is her B-side, but as any audiophile knows, the B-side is often the best side. Megan spends most of her time outdoors, on the road and in loving theta with the world and beings around her.

She is honored to guide clients through therapeutic hypnosis, which she believes to be one of the most rapidly transformational healing modalities available. Her greatest teachers are nature, the subconscious mind and those who fearlessly and compassionately embrace their shadow.

Her favorite styles are Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga. She loves a strong, playful and flowy practice, allowing you to deeply reconnect with your body and breath, and finding your own flow and rhythm.
