Caribbean Spirit Dance Retreat
Oct 27- Nov 2, 2025
Cozumel, Mexico
With Gayan Gregory Long and Timory McDonald
Join us on the gorgeous island of Cozumel (Mexico), surrounded by the world famous turquoise blue Caribbean Sea, for a first-class retreat experience. Let yourself be steeped in Dances of Universal Peace, Kirtan, Zikr, meditation, and unique and profound creative experiences.
Come dance on the luxurious covered rooftop of Hotel B Unique high above the Mexican Riviera on a small tropical island near Cancun. There will be opportunities to swim, snorkel, and relax amidst a majestic, colorful coral reef.
The Mesoamerican Reef (second only in size to the Great Barrier Reef) is a hidden gem filled with bountiful tropical fish. Jump directly into Cozumel's deep, warm waters and swim with hundreds of radiant fish. Take a look at this amazing short video.
This retreat experience will be woven in with the alluring cultural extravaganza of Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), providing participants an unparalleled opportunity to participate alongside the local/Mayan community in this more than 3-day-long celebration which unites both sides of life and death as the veils are lifted.
This experience will be a deep dive into the union of both the Sufi and Mexican wisdom streams, resulting in a direct experience of honoring our ancestors (and those who have gone before) as living family. “Walking the Ancestors” from the Cozumel cemetery to the world of the living on Dia de Muertos will be a life changing experience!
Experienced Dance Leaders and musicians will have an opportunity to share their gifts as part of the retreat.
