Medicine of Sound Retreat

Highlights
Imagine a mystical place where ancient roots and sacred rituals interact. A paradise of eco-nuances and intangible delights cocooned between a lush jungle and the glistening Caribbean sea. This is Palmaïa, The House of AïA—an all-inclusive holistic and sustainable wellness resort on the gorgeous beaches of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
And this is where you are invited to experience sound medicine through different stages, starting with an understanding of silence and meditation and building up to sounds and music in their purest forms.
