Dr. Saul Smaili

An Advanced Retreat for Men

Also With Dror B Ashuah, Owen Marcus and Rodrigo Negrete

Men Who Are Ready to Show Up There comes a time when you realize that changing your surroundings isn't enough. A different relationship. A bigger business. Another achievement. Another retreat. None of them can give you what only you can discover for yourself. Most of us have become very good at navigating life. We know how to solve problems. We know how to take care of others. We know how to keep moving. But somewhere along the way, many men lose the quiet connection with themselves. This gathering was created for the man who is ready to stop running—not from life, but from himself. Then it shifted into the theme you specifically asked for: Going deep isn't about finding the perfect environment. Inlakech isn't a luxury resort where everything is polished. It's a living place in the jungle. Sometimes you'll hear birds before sunrise. Sometimes insects. Sometimes distant traffic. Sometimes you'll be uncomfortable. And strangely enough, that's where the work begins. Because going deep has never been about controlling the environment. It has always been about learning to stay present in the midst of it. Every resistance becomes another doorway. Every discomfort another invitation. Every moment another opportunity to choose presence instead of reaction. I also found the newer tagline we liked much better than the original: Seven days in the jungle. No masks. No distractions. Are you ready to meet yourself? And the newer positioning: This isn't a retreat for men looking to escape life. It's for men who want to return to it more fully alive.

Dawn -Life Re-Imagined 8 Days Jungle Retreat

Also With Dror B Ashuah, Evelyne Costa and Rodrigo Negrete

Dawn: Life Re-Imagined is an intimate 8-day retreat in the jungle of Tulum for those who sense that something within is ready to shift. Through deep exploration, nature, reflection, ritual, and connection, we create space to release what has become too heavy, listen beneath the noise, and rediscover what feels most alive and true. Come curious. Leave changed.

Dusk - Beyond the Known March 16-24 2027 Tulum Mexico

Also With Dror B Ashuah, Rodrigo Negrete and Nuri Harel Lupo

DUSK Beyond the Known Leadership and beyond March 16–24, 2027 · Project Inlakech · Tulum, Mexico Following the profound retreats we shared in 2023 and 2026, we feel called to gather again. This third journey will be smaller, deeper, and more experiential. It is by invitation only and limited to 18 therapists and facilitators. Something became very clear to us during our previous retreats: when therapists step out of the role of holding others and allow themselves to be held, a very different kind of work becomes possible. For eight days, we will live together in the jungle at Project Inlakech. We will step away from our practices, our clients, our responsibilities—and, as much as possible, from our professional identities. Less talking. More experiencing. As therapists, we are very good at understanding, explaining, interpreting, and finding language for what happens inside us. But sometimes our knowledge can also become a place to hide. Here, we want to move beyond what we already know. Through movement, breath, silence, nature, water, music, bodywork, ritual, group process, rest, laughter, and honest human encounter, we will explore ourselves from the inside. There may be beauty and joy. There may also be resistance, vulnerability, discomfort, and moments when we would rather return to familiar ground. We welcome all of it. Going deeper is not always comfortable. One of the things we treasure most about this gathering is that everyone brings something to the circle. Each participant will be invited to lead the group for a period of time and share something genuinely their own—a therapeutic process, movement, meditation, inquiry, creative practice, ritual, or perhaps something entirely unexpected. For a moment, you lead. Then you return to the circle and allow yourself to be led. We become teachers, participants, mirrors, witnesses, and companions for one another. There is no need to impress anyone here. No need to arrive with answers. In fact, we are most interested in what becomes possible when accomplished therapists allow themselves not to know. We will swim in cenotes, walk through the jungle, gather around the fire, eat together, rest together, work together, and create enough spaciousness for the unplanned moments—the conversations, tears, laughter, silence, and connections that often become the most meaningful part of a retreat. This is not a retreat for everyone. It is a small gathering for people we trust and feel will contribute something meaningful simply by being who they are. 18 people. By invitation only. Eight days together in the Mayan jungle. Come with your experience. Come with your gift. And perhaps most importantly, come with the part of you that is still curious, unfinished, and willing to be surprised. March 16–24, 2027 Project Inlakech · Jungle near Tulum, Mexico
