Basically everything except for your plane ticket. Everything.

All nights accommodation at Rancho Verde in your chosen room type, all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks) curated and catered by award-winning Liefs.

All retreat sessions (yoga, breath-work, meditation, creative workshops, guided ceremonies), excursions to cenotes and local natural sites, and post-retreat accountability coaching.

The only things not included are your flights, transport to Rancho Verde you’re not coming from Tulum Airport, and any personal purchases. There are no hidden costs.

Rancho Verde is available as an Airbnb before and after the retreat dates if you want to arrive early or take time to decompress before flying home. Mention your interest to extend in the application and we will check availability for you. We are happy to provide additional wellness services as desired.

Yes. The retreat is designed for guests who want clarity and real change. Not those who want to chant and float. You will move your body, eat well, sleep deeply, have honest conversations, and do structured work on where you are and where you want to go. Spiritual and ceremonial elements are optional, not mandatory. Several of our best guests have described themselves exactly as you just did.

This is one of the most common questions we receive, and one of the most common surprises.

Liefs has earned Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Award four years running. One of our most-quoted reviews is from a guest who said: "I am so not a vegan person… but this has definitely changed my perception." The food is the most talked-about part of the retreat, including by guests who came skeptical. Arrive hungry. Leave satisfied.

Maximum ten guests.

From our side: facilitators, a session coach and two to four crew, for the hosting & catering part.

We curate every group carefully. Admission is selective precisely because the dynamic between guests is as important as the program itself. Guests typically range from their late thirties to mid-fifties. They are accomplished, self-aware, and ready for honest conversation. Most arrive not knowing anyone. Most leave with friends they will know for years. We do not mix retreat cohorts with Airbnb guests during retreat weeks. The Ranch will be retreat guests exclusive.

Please tell us in your application. All food is 100% plant-based and can be adapted for allergies, intolerances, and most medical dietary needs.

For physical conditions that may affect participation in yoga, breath-work, cold immersion, or ceremonial work, we ask that you inform us in advance so we can plan appropriately.

All activities are voluntary.

You will never be pressured to participate in anything that does not feel right for you.

Rancho Verde is a private, gated jungle sanctuary a short drive from Tulum's Caribbean coast.

It is not a hotel. It is our home, a zero-waste eco-community with a villa, a converted chapel, a garden house, a private pool, and yoga and wellness areas surrounded by jungle.

Airbnb guests have awarded it ‘top 10% Guest Favorite and Superhost status consistently. Private room and shared room optioens are available. You can see the various spaces in more detail at at eatatliefs.com/airbnb.

We understand that life happens.
