Open, Wild & Free Jungle Retreat
Tulum, Mexico | February 7–12, 2027

Let’s be honest, you’ve been holding it together for so long, you forgot what it feels like to loosen up, have fun, and enjoy this life to the fullest. Being responsible turned into being rigid, and fun became something you schedule for later.

When was the last time you giggled at a flower blooming, got lost in the shapes of the clouds, or stood there mesmerized by a rainbow? The sacred has been right here in the mundane the whole time, and we’re too busy, too tired, too burnt out, and too buried in our screens to notice.

We live in a world where butterflies, sunsets, and pink skies exist! Are we allowing ourselves to notice it and be in wonder of it? There is so much good here, and most of us have been scrolling right past it. It is a wild gift to be alive, and you are a part of all this magic!

So, “later” has arrived, and it’s time to reignite the spark for life. This is your invitation to remember.

Six days in the Tulum jungle to drop the act, shake it loose, get silly, and fall back in love with being here. You’ll breathe deep enough to melt the armor and meet the kid in you who still believes in magic, dance like nobody’s watching (nobody is), sweat the seriousness off in a ceremonial temazcal, float in a sacred cenote as healing sound vibrations melt tension off your body, and laugh harder than you have in years.

Come to unclench, get weird, get loud, get curious, and let the wonder of life back in!

THE RETREAT EXPERIENCE:

Nourishing Local Meals, 3x Daily: Plus a wellness bar with unlimited tea, coffee, and fresh-fruit waters.
Daily Morning Yoga, Breathwork & Meditation: Mindful movement to come home to the body, breathwork to restore energy flow, and meditation quiet the noise. Start your day feeling more present and connected.
Shakti Rising Kundalini Immersion: Fire up your life-force energy with breath, mantra, and kriya. Feel more alive, fierce, and magnetic to possibility and wonder.
Transformative Long-Form Breathwork Journey: A deep, trauma-informed guided journey to release what you’ve been gripping and reconnect with the spark inside you.
Unleashed Ecstatic Dance: A safe space to dance without thinking. Let the rhythm move you and the body guide you out of your head and into your body, where your joy lives.
Indigenous Temazcal Ceremony with a local Shaman: Sacred steam, darkness, and heat. An opportunity to sweat out what you came to leave behind and step into who you’re becoming.
Floating Sound Bath in a Private Cenote on site: Drift in sacred water while healing sound vibrations move through you, restoring balance. You also get exclusive swim access to the cenote on your own time.
Ice Baths: Plunge in, wake up, and reset your nervous system.
Evening Sound Baths & Integration Sessions: Wind down, decompress, reflect, integrate, and be lovingly held through all that’s coming up for you to process, feel, and release.
Closing Dinner Party with DJ: Dress up in white, dine, dance, and celebrate with the community.

Meet Your Guides,
Emile Lisauskaite

Born in Kaunas, Lithuania in 1996 and raised in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago, Emile (Em) was shaped by the contrast of two worlds. Moving to the U.S. at six years old without knowing the language taught her adaptability, resilience, and curiosity about human connection. Each summer, she and her sister traveled alone to visit their grandparents in Lithuania, who exposed them to diverse cultures through journeys across Africa, Turkey, and Greece. These formative experiences instilled in her a lifelong reverence for travel, diversity, and the beauty of different ways of living.

By eighteen, Em was traveling solo—valuing experiences over possessions and seeking meaning beyond material success. By twenty-eight, she had explored over fifteen countries, many in the developing world, where she witnessed the richness of simplicity, the power of community, and a deep respect for Mother Earth. These journeys awakened her understanding of life’s interconnectedness and laid the foundation for her work in healing and transformation.

Her path has also been shaped by profound loss. Navigating complex trauma during childhood and the later passing of both her best friend and father became catalysts for deep inner work. Rather than letting grief close her heart, she allowed it to expand her—teaching her presence, compassion, and the transformative power of love. These experiences, along with periods of deep disconnection from her body and truth, now inform the gentle, intuitive, and reverent way she holds space for others.

Em’s spiritual curiosity began in adolescence, sparked by a fascination with the mind and the nature of existence. This inquiry led her to study psychology, explore meditation and subconscious reprogramming, and dive deeply into yogic and energetic practices. In 2017, she completed her first yoga teacher training, and by 22, she took a leap of faith—stepping into ownership of Rising Lotus Healing Center alongside her mother. Together, they transformed it into a sanctuary for healing, self-discovery, and spiritual expansion, later extending this mission worldwide through transformational retreats.

Since 2019, Em has served as the lead trainer for the Rising Lotus School of Yoga & Wellness 200-hour Teacher Training Program, certifying nearly one hundred students. In 2023, she launched YOGAEM, an on-demand platform devoted to yoga, mental and emotional mastery, and soul evolution. With over 10,000 hours of teaching experience, she blends ancient wisdom with modern science to support others in reconnecting with their authenticity, inner power, and embodied truth.

Today, Em embodies the archetype of the wounded healer—one who transforms pain into purpose and teaches that healing is not about erasing hardship but embracing the full spectrum of human experience. As the owner of Rising Lotus, founder of YOGAEM.com, certified energy worker, sound therapist, and intuitive coach, she bridges the seen and unseen to guide others home to themselves.

Her intention is always the same: to help others reclaim their power, embody their authentic medicine, and remember who they truly are—beyond stories, roles, and form.

With her powerful meditative guidance, you truly open up the path to go into a space of stillness and peace within and feel the unity you share will all of life.

"Greetings. Eye am. Reflections abound. Healing me, healing you. Describing me, describing you. Loving me loving you. Slightly more yin than yang, and also more yang than yin. Eye balance like fire. Unpredictability is the plan, more of an evolution than a class. Are you breathing, or are you being breathed? Release. A loss, a purge, a deep wonderment that bends all cells, one. Breathe in the exhale. Notice. Just look at it. Come with me, be come a receiver. Abundant. Pure. Fulfilled. Now inhale. This always was an introduction to your cellf. Love you."
