A Creative Exploration in Tulum, Mexico
This intimate offering has been created to provide an experience based on two main concepts: embodiment and community. We are giving each other the space and support to sink in, rejuvenate, and explore. We all feel a longing to live a meaningful and intentional life, and our goal here is to re-align in a way that makes us feel connected. This offering includes luxurious accommodations in sustainably built luxury treehouses, sketching and hiking through Tulum National Park, swimming with sea turtles at Playa Pescadores, irreplaceable ocean sunsets, organic group meals, spa offerings, creative practices, and friends that last a lifetime.
This week is for your creative curiosity - to remember all that can happen when we give ourselves the space to just be.
The idea behind this trip is that we disconnect from the pressure to create, the pressure to consume, and the pressure to perform.
We will focus our time in nature each day, as the group decides between jaw-dropping national parks, hikes, and scenic locations to explore as a community.
After hosting several retreats, we have found that relaxation and downtime is an essential part of this process as well.
As your hosts, we are here to nurture you, to love you, and provide experiences that encourage a sense of groundedness. Each of our retreat options work as a guide to release our everyday roles, and tap back in to our innate sense of curiosity and creativity.
Our sacred space in Tulum, MX believes in tying spirituality to modern architecture. With a focus on sustainable building and practices including negative emissions, water preservation, and renewable energy. If you would like more information on the practices set to ensure this location is set up to care and respect this sacred land in a sustainable way, please contact us.
The treehouses we will be staying in were designed as a space to unplug from the ordinary, to rest, and to reset. Set in a lush jungle, each treehouse has solar powered AC, a safe, a bathtub, kitchenette, balcony, and more. Check out the slideshow below to see some beautiful images of our stay.
Our hosts have also committed to providing us a daily vegan breakfast buffet so we can start our day with nourishing energy.
Scooter and Bicylce rentals are available once we arrive.

Hi! We’re Lindsey & Sam
If you’re new here, we have been hosting retreats and building this amazing community since December of 2019. As both lovers of the outdoors, we have been backpacking and camping around the world together since our friendship began in Charleston 2016. To us, there is nothing more special than unplugging with those you love and resetting your nervous system with fresh air, a new environment, and creative exploration under the sun and stars. We’ve made it a priority to do this twice a year ourselves, and hope to bring others along with us!
We cultivate these experiences based on our desires to build authentic friendship among women from a place of trust, exploration, expansion, and healing. We know it can be difficult to find friends or family who are willing to try new things or take time off. This is where our community comes in!
Want to learn more about us? Visit our websites below:
I don’t consider myself an ‘artist’ or ‘creative’. Is this the retreat for me?
The very reason we started Ember and Solis was to disprove the very notion of ‘gatekeeping’ in the sense of artistic expression: meaning, we believe we are ALL innately creative. You do not need to consider yourself an artist, own a business, or have artistic experience to attend a retreat. All we ask is for you remain open-minded and curious throughout the process— we all find unique ways to drop into that curiosity and right-brained way of life.
What is not included in this pricing?
Your flight or way of travel to Cancun Airport is not included. We are planning to have some meal’s prepared for our adventure, but please factor in cash for additional snacks, alcohol and water during your stay.
What if I am new to hiking or outdoor adventure?
Our favorite thing to say is that it’s never too late to start! The main goal of our Women’s Circles are to promote a safe community for those of us who have always longed for these adventures, but don’t always have the friends or family in our lives to explore them with! Lindsey and Sam have great experience traveling around the globe, and will be there to guide you through basic safety needs and group hikes. We will not be participating in activities that put anyone’s safety at risk, and all explorations will voted on by the group! Because this experience is created to ground you, each attendee has the choice to change their mind each day when choosing activities. That’s the beauty of this amazing location: there is always something to enjoy.
What is the room sharing situation like?
Each treehouse room be shared between two attendees, with your choice to share a Queen sized bed or take the comfortable sleeper sofa. If you wish to book a room entirely for yourself, let us know and we can accommodate you for an $800 add on! If you and a friend are looking to share a room specifically, that can be coordinated as well. Please email us.
What about food allergies or other food concerns?
We will be sending out a survey prior to arrival to address any and all food concerns! We ourselves have strict diets and will gladly accommodate for the group meals.
I’m new to traveling on a trip like this. How do I know what to bring?
Each attendee will be sent a specific list of goodies that will help make the trip effortless and fun. We will be sure to include everything down to the details of toiletries! We will do the work for you and be sure you’re prepared.
