Hi, I’m so happy you’ve found your way here.

I created this retreat from my deep love of threshold experiences — those rare moments when wild nature, movement, beauty, music, and community bring us more fully alive. You will leave Haramara feeling restored, inspired, and more deeply connected to yourself, to others, and to nature itself.

You’ll find the details below, including accommodations, pricing, and how to reserve your place. Please reach out with any questions — we’d be happy to hear from you.

Best,

Micheline

This Thanksgiving, we gather around gratitude, wild beauty, and the simple grace of being restored by sea, sun, and wild earth — the living essence of Soma + Terra Retreats.

At Haramara, the holiday becomes a coastal ritual of nourishment: morning practice in open-air shalas, rest and ocean play, music, and conversation around a special Thanksgiving seafood feast inspired by seasonal Mexican gastronomy, prepared with love and care by our chef.

Each morning begins with me guiding you into your body through vinyasa and meditation in Haramara’s open-air yoga shalas, with sweeping 360° views of jungle, sky, and sea.

Rooted in Buddhist dharma, somatic intelligence, and breath-based movement, the practice is strong, fluid, soulful, and intelligent — a return to rhythm, sensation, and presence.

Some classes will be accompanied by the evocative live music of my husband, Joey Lugassy and friends.

A defining part of this retreat is its immersion in wild nature — jungle, sea, mountain, and open sky.

• Swim with wild dolphins in the open sea, guided by a marine biologist we have worked with for over 12 years, who has studied and built a respectful relationship with the local dolphin pods we may encounter, swim alongside, and sometimes even play with.

• Hike Monkey Mountain on a guided 2–3 hour trail through a protected coastal preserve, with expansive views of jungle, coastline, and the Pacific.

• Wander jungle paths, take long beach walks from Haramara’s private cove, rest in a hammock, sunbathe by the cliffside saltwater infinity pool, or receive optional bodywork.

• Optional adventures may include surfing at one of the area’s best surf beaches, just a 10-minute walk from our private beach, as well as whale watching, spa treatments, and cultural excursions into Sayulita.

Food is a central part of the Soma + Terra retreat experience — a daily celebration of nourishment, beauty, and the flavors of the Nayarit coast.

Haramara’s kitchen prepares seasonal Mexican meals with natural, local ingredients, guided by their Mexican head chef and the freshest offerings from local fish and farmers markets. Meals are centered around fresh seafood and vibrant vegetarian dishes, with tropical fruit, handmade salsas, and the bright, sunlit flavors of coastal Mexico.

Three meals are included each day, along with our special Thanksgiving seafood feast. Most dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice; please include any allergies, food sensitivities, or dietary restrictions on your registration form.

Haramara is one of those rare places where simplicity, beauty, and wild nature are held with elegance.

Set on 12 private acres of tropical jungle with a private and pristine beach, guests stay in secluded open-air cabanas tucked into the hillside above the Pacific, with ocean and/or jungle views, private bathrooms, Pacific breezes, and candlelit evenings.

This will be my third retreat at Haramara — a place I return to for its wild nature, refined simplicity, nourishing cuisine, beautifully designed spaces, and the sense of taste and care woven through the entire property.
