As seen in:

Step out of the holiday rush and into a slower rhythm — with sunshine, connection, and all your needs cared for.

Join us this December at MEA’s world-class campus in Baja to experience inspired living at its finest – with all the heart, soul, and hospitality MEA is known for.

Here’s your chance to enjoy meaningful connection, restorative spaces, and uplifting moments in a format that invites reflection, ease, and intentional interaction – without a packed agenda.

Begin your morning with mindful movement while taking in the spectacular view from our yoga platform above the beach.

Spend your afternoons journaling, walking on the beach, exploring the local area, or going for a dip in one of our pools.

Enjoy meaningful conversation and the authentic connection that happens when you’re with like-hearted seekers.

With no set agenda, you’re free to rest, reflect, and engage in ways that awaken your curiosity, your clarity, and your highest self — in a place that feels both deeply held and wide open.

Here’s What Makes Winter Re | Fresh So Special

Guided conversations led by MEA facilitators to spark insight, reflection, and connection

Movement and mindfulness on our open-air yoga platform overlooking the Pacific

Open time for journaling, reading, or quiet reflection – whenever the moment takes you

Casual gatherings that invite presence and deepen connection

Access to our pools and contemplative spaces for rest and renewal

Spontaneous joy and playfulness woven throughout the week

Moments of quiet awe – starlit skies, whales breaching offshore, and soul-stirring sunsets on the horizon

A welcoming community of curious, like-hearted people – here to unwind, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most

And of course, every day you will be treated to three delicious from-scratch meals featuring locally sourced ingredients lovingly prepared by our culinary team. You will feel deeply fed and energized from the inside out.

Replenish Your Mind, Body & Soul

Mind & Body Wake-Up

Start or end your day on our beach platform overlooking the ocean where you can do some stretching, follow your own yoga or mindfulness practice, or simply sit and listen to the waves as a way to center yourself, quiet your active mind, and slow time as you become more fully present in the moment.

Restorative Sound Bath

Enjoy a beautifully candlelit experience in our yoga studio, where one of our mindfulness experts will blend crystal and Tibetan bowls with music and mindfulness cues to gently guide you back to your body and rebalance your nervous system. You’ll feel as refreshed as if you’ve just had a six-hour nap.

Surf Lessons

Embrace the opportunity of a lifetime and take a surf lesson with one of the best surf schools around. These world-class instructors will walk you through the techniques of how to surf and guide you into your first small wave to experience the “stoke and awe” that only surfing can provide. Note: this activity involves additional cost.

Cliff & Tide Pool Hike

Explore the beautiful Baja landscape just down the road from the MEA campus. You can hike along scenic bluffs, where you can often see whales along with other sea life, then make our way down to a beach where you can explore tide pools and watch the waves crash upon the rocks.

Whether you're an experienced artist or a beginner, our guest instructors will help you unlock your creativity through play and inspiration. Let go of "I'm not an artist" or "I'm not creative" and embrace your inherent creativity!
