Choosing yourself is a big decision, and it's natural to have questions. At Awakened Healing, sisterhood begins long before we arrive in Tulum. Whether you're wondering about traveling alone, what to expect, or how to prepare, we've answered our most frequently asked questions below so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. I've never travelled alone. Is this retreat for me? Absolutely. Many women attend our retreats on their own, and it's one of the most empowering parts of the experience. From the moment you arrive, you'll be welcomed into a supportive community where meaningful connections happen naturally. --- I've never done yoga before. Can I still come? Yes. This retreat is designed for all experience levels. Every practice is offered with options, and you're always encouraged to listen to your body. No flexibility or previous experience is required. --- What airport should I fly into? You'll fly into Cancún International Airport (CUN). Airport transportation to and from the retreat venue is included when you arrive and depart within the recommended travel windows, which will be shared after booking. --- Can dietary restrictions be accommodated? Yes. We work closely with our retreat chef to accommodate most dietary needs and food allergies. You'll have an opportunity to share your dietary requirements during registration. --- What happens after I reserve my spot? Once your deposit is received, you'll receive a welcome email with everything you need to prepare, including your Retreat Guide, payment schedule, travel information, packing suggestions, and access to our private retreat community. --- Cancellation Policy We understand that unexpected situations can arise. Because Awakened Healing is an intimate retreat with limited spaces, every reservation represents a significant commitment to accommodations, vendors, and retreat planning. For this reason, all payments made toward the retreat—including the $1,000 CAD deposit and all subsequent payments—are non-refundable and non-transferable. If you choose to cancel your participation for any reason, no refunds or credits will be issued. For your protection, comprehensive travel insurance is required and should include trip cancellation, trip interruption, medical emergencies, and travel delays. Depending on your policy and the reason for cancellation, you may be able to recover eligible costs through your insurance provider. By completing your booking, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this cancellation policy. --- Do I need travel insurance? Yes. Travel insurance is required for all guests and should include medical coverage, trip cancellation, interruption, and emergency travel assistance for your peace of mind. --- Can I come with a friend? Absolutely. We offer one exclusive Bring a Sister Experience, designed for two women booking together in our shared luxury dome. If you're planning to attend together, we recommend reserving early, as this accommodation is limited. --- Will there be free time to relax or explore? Yes. While each day includes thoughtfully guided experiences, we've intentionally created spaciousness for rest, journaling, enjoying the pool, exploring Tulum, or simply doing nothing at all. This retreat is designed to support your nervous system—not keep you busy. --- Is this retreat right for me? If you've been craving space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and step away from the constant demands of everyday life, this retreat was created for you. You don't need to arrive "fixed" or have everything figured out. Just come exactly as you are. --- What if I don't know anyone? That's completely okay—and incredibly common. Many women come on their own and arrive not knowing a single person. By the end of the retreat, it's often the connections and friendships they made that become one of the most meaningful parts of the experience.
