Come as you are, reconnect gently

Mexico San Francisco donation

At Alma Vida Healing Arts Retreat Center, the work begins with a simple reassurance: you are not broken, and you do not have to do everything alone. Mira leads somatic sessions and retreats intended to loosen inherited beliefs of unworthiness and isolation, drawing on her training in somatic healing and decades of personal exploration through meditation, group work, empowerment classes, and self-inquiry. The setting brings that inward work close to the coast, in a restored hacienda-style guesthouse with the ocean nearby. Days are shaped by each retreat rather than a fixed schedule, leaving room for the center’s healing practices and time to settle into the surroundings. Meals are described as inventive and nourishing, with vegetarian and gluten-free options. Rooms have air conditioning, and the grounds include a pool and yoga studio. MiraLovesYou runs by donation, making it a welcoming option for people curious about somatic work and connection without a fixed fee.

Setting

The retreat takes place at Alma Vida Healing Arts Retreat Center, across from the Riviera Nayarit coastline. The sound and presence of the ocean shape the atmosphere, while the hacienda-style guesthouse and pool offer inviting spaces to rest between sessions.

The practice

Mira’s work centers on somatic healing, a body-aware approach to noticing and shifting beliefs that can shape how people relate to themselves and others. Sessions are intended to help participants feel more connected and compassionate toward themselves. The tradition is not formally identified, so newcomers curious about the format or level of group participation should ask Mira what a specific retreat involves.
