Explore Aerial Retreat Tulum, Mexico 2025
Performance Edition
The mermaids take flight again this fall...
Calling all lifelong students and lovers of aerial, artists, and performers! Explore Aerial Retreat is geared towards those who want to take a dive into more intermediate level aerial technique, skills, and theory.
It's an intentional space to tap into our unique style of movement and creativity in a non judgmental environment, to strengthen our connection with ourselves, each other, our apparatus, and to deepen our overall aerial practice from the inside, out! It's a chance to hang with aerialists from around the world, all while surrounded by the natural beauty and culture of the Mayan Riviera.
Imagine a retreat where the minute you touch down, you have a friendly community of aerialists to connect with, instant friends of a common thread and shared passion.
Imagine having a week of support meeting you exactly where you are at all week long so that you can reach for your goals during a week you've carved out just for YOU!
Imagine making your inner child incredibly happy by exploring the mermaid archetype as we put on tails and dive into refreshing cenotes!
Imagine a training space with a turquoise view of the ocean, and a spa day on our FULL rest day -midweek- after our exhaustion has peaked (properly earned of course).
Imagine not losing 2 full days on arrival and departure day because this retreat is intentionally a little longer than most to allow you to settle and drop into to absorb all the goodness that Mexico, Tulum, and your amazing hosts have to offer!
This year we are excited to provide two different experiences depending on your goals for the week, energy level and budget!
Our Performance Focus retreat offers the same packages listed below but more open gyms for all interested to gain feedback on their works in progress, feedback, group circles for brainstorming or deepening artistic concept, and an opportunity to have their work filmed in a beautiful studio!
