RECONNECT TO YOUR RADIANCE
The Rest & Digest Ayurveda Retreat
Join this 7-Day restorative retreat with Talya Lutzker and Mary Sheila Gonnella at the beautiful Mar de Jade Retreat Center.
Hosting this retreat together in such a beautiful setting is a dream come true for us!
As teachers, we firmly believe that the power of being together in community, with the intention to heal, learn about our bodies, and support one another in our health goals, by far surpasses any other way we can grow and transform.
We know that sharing together for a whole week, unconstrained by time and the responsibilities at home, will be life changing for all, and we cannot wait to immerse with you in teachings and practices that we know have the power to heal.
DO YOU EVER...
Feel like stress and depletion are hijacking your life?
Feel frustrated with your health and self-care?
Find yourself falling into old, low energy habits?
Feel confused about how to truly nourish your body?
You know Ayurveda is a healing path.
There’s only one problem…
It’s hard to shift your habits from within the environment that created them. Sometimes you need a retreat to take time that’s just for YOU.
We’ve created a breathtaking Ayurveda retreat experience, so you can reconnect to your radiance, nourish your immunity, and build long-term resilience through Ayurveda’s principles of holistic health, nourishment, and self-care.
You’ll deepen your connection with your body using the practices of Ayurveda, and you'll hone essential tools for resilience, so you can thrive in these stressful times.
Together we’ll dive into Ayurvedic support for healing digestion and balancing hormones with the wisdom of the ages.
For an entire week, we’ll deliver ancient teachings in modern form to relieve stress and fortify every area of your life, especially your health.
A World Away...
The Rest & Digest Ayurveda Retreat takes place in the peaceful atmosphere of Mar de Jade, a healing retreat center nestled between the natural beauty of the tropical jungle and the pristine sandy beaches of Chacala, Mexico.
Chacala is one of the most beautiful and tranquil beaches on the lush coastline known as Riviera Nayarit.
We chose this unique and luxurious location because it offers lovingly prepared food, with attention to using fresh and healthy ingredients, mainly from their 17-acre organic farm.
The yoga & retreat studios have hardwood floors and offer inspiring ocean views, fresh breezes, and natural light.
Optional excursions to connect with nature and local culture include jungle hikes, snorkeling, horseback riding, petroglyphs, and more!
However, what makes Mar de Jade truly extraordinary is its humanitarian mission. The resort supports a private school for local children, an organic farm, and job training for local young people. The farm supplies the resort with fresh produce and chicken for the meals.
When you feel connected, supported, and inspired, you'll let go of what doesn’t serve you and embrace your healthiest self.
Did you know?
Optimal health depends on your ability to access your parasympathetic nervous system. The more stress you deal with, the stronger your pathways into a state of rest and digest need to be.
This retreat will provide a wholesome container for you to turn down your stress response, balance your immunity, and revolutionize the way you care for your body, mind, and spirit.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been practicing Ayurveda for years or if you’re totally new. This Ayurveda immersion experience will inspire deep, meaningful, and sustainable realizations about your health and well-being.
Everyone benefits from tapping into the parasympathetic nervous system and accessing the gut-brain connection. When you bring this mindfulness into your bones, you'll awaken your body’s natural ability to heal.
Mary Sheila helped me understand how I could get on a healthy track. Not only was she supportive and informative, she never judged me for the way that I had been treating my body. She just wanted to help me feel my best. Through the diet and exercise plans laid out by Mary Sheila, I have achieved all my personal goals, feel fantastic, and have incorporated healthy habits back into my life.

Before I ever worked with Talya, I’d been fighting the same 20 or 25 pounds my whole life. I was bloated. I was an insomniac. I was stressed at work… If you see people write reviews that say, ‘Talya saved my life,’ I am one of those people.
Working with Talya truly transformed the way I think about my life and my health.

The Rest and Digest Ayurveda Retreat At A Glance
Cultivate Resilience
While on retreat, the stressors of your daily life will recede, so you can recalibrate how you respond to them. You'll have: time to tend your inner balance, support to keep your nervous system steady, and community to uplift your resilient spirit.
Optimize Digestion
With time to slow down, you'll notice how the foods you eat influence your body and your intricate digestive system. We'll practice the essentials for priming your digestive fire and maintaining the delicate health of the digestive process.
Boost and Calm Immunity
As your micro-biome heals, the gut-brain connection will cause your moods to grow lighter and your immune system to become balanced. Inflammation will naturally recede leaving you calm, clear, and focused.
Ayurvedic Self Care Immersion
All week long, you’ll experience the tools, techniques, and theory for applying Ayurvedic principles to daily self-care. You'll connect with the how and why of your natural rhythms, so you can take it all home with you.

I’ve been working with Talya for 2 years now, receiving dietary advice, lifestyle discussions, and bodywork. She’s been a great help to me in clearing up issues both physical and emotional.
I recently received a one-day Panchakarma. Talya was clear and focused throughout all 6 hours of treatment. She is always so kind and respectful and can be a fierce warrior and advocate.

I will be forever grateful that I met Mary Sheila. She's very easy to talk to, and I felt very comfortable with her, which doesn’t always come easily for me, being the private person that I am. Mary Sheila has made all the difference in my health. I am now feeling empowered in my path, and I have met a wonderful and knowledgeable friend that I know I can depend on in the future, too. What a blessing she has been!
