C.N.C.S. Retreats
Community, nature, culture, and service
Community, nature, culture and service are the ideas behind C.N.C.S. Retreats, where time outdoors and shared experiences sit alongside wellness. Retreat descriptions place gatherings at AmateCamp near Tepoztlán, Mexico, with mountain views, hiking trails, a yoga shala, pool, jacuzzi and temazcal. Meals there are described as organic, plant-based, local and seasonal, with light snacks and tea at lunch. The retreat tradition and meditation format are not defined, so expect a broader wellness and community experience rather than a formal meditation course. One detail needs sorting before you book: the listed address is in Lakeside, California, while the retreat venue and arrival directions point to Mexico. Retreat listings show prices from USD 1,150. Confirm the current venue, dates, travel arrangements and what the price includes directly with the organizer.
