5 Elements Retreat: Tulum, Mexico

The 5 Elements Retreat

TULUM, MEXICO

April 27 - May 1, 2026

You don’t need another self-help book.

You don’t need to push harder, fix more, or power through.

You need a break.

A break from carrying the mental load.

From showing up strong when you’re secretly running on fumes.

From constantly doing more, when what you really need is space to just be.

This is that space.

Save My Space at Tulum

The Five Elements Retreat is your permission to unplug, move your body, reconnect with your breath, soak in the jungle air, and remember who you are without the roles, the to-dos, or the expectations.

No pressure. No pretending. Just you — supported, seen, and held in a container designed for your real restoration and reignition.

Come home with clarity, energy, and a quiet confidence that will change the way you show up for the rest of your life.

Our retreat location is Kaaba Luum Hotel & Retreat Center located in Tulum, here.

Our Theme:

The 5 Elements

Rooted in the ancient wisdom of nature, this retreat is guided by the five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether — each representing a powerful force within and around us.

Throughout our time together, you’ll experience these elements not just as metaphors, but as embodied practices, rituals, and transformations — woven into every movement, every meal, every breath, and every moment of stillness.

Yes! Sign Me Up!

Here’s how we’ll explore the Five Elements:

Earth

Ground into your body and the present moment through morning movement practices and nourishing, intentional meals. You'll return to center through yoga, stretching, expressive dance, mindful nature walks, and energy-balancing food.

Water

Soften, release, and flow through restorative rituals, solo time, and a healing private cenote in the Ixchel Cave, a sacred, underground pool believed to have powerful energetic properties. Take a daily plunge to reset as each Villa also has pool.

Fire

Reignite the part of you that remembers who you are. Through transformative self-reflection, group coaching, and a heart-opening Mayan cacao ceremony led by a local healer, you’ll reconnect with your creativity, courage, and inner wisdom.

Air

Expand into breath, spaciousness, and light. Through daily breathwork, intentional movement, and reflective practices beneath the jungle canopy, you’ll create space — in your lungs, your mind, and your spirit — to remember who you are beneath the armor, the noise, and the "shoulds".

Ether

This is where it all integrates. Through soul-led journaling, intention setting, and group connection, you’ll pull together the wisdom of the elements and return home to yourself — steady, open, and deeply connected to what matters most and feeling fiercely grounded in what’s next.

From the Women Who’ve Been There

Real reflections from those who stepped away, reconnected, and came home changed.

Amy B.

"I am still feeling the glow of Portugal and am so grateful for the experience!! The most meaningful part was revisiting the week’s themes through journaling, then looking back to see my response to the same prompt only four days earlier — the shift was incredible. My spirit had become more relaxed, expansive, and joyful. If you are open, you will be filled and lifted.”

Alissa S.

“I didn’t know what to expect for my first retreat, but it far exceeded any expectations. I grew, pushed myself outside my comfort zone, and made friends along the way. There was so much self-reflection and self-care — things I hadn’t made time for in years. I came back a changed person with a new tribe that supports me no matter what. Women supporting women can make a huge difference in the world.”

Annie R.

“It was an opportunity to pause from the responsibilities of my busy life and go on an adventure with a group of women to a beautiful destination — and it turned out to be so much more. It nurtured my mind, body, and soul. Since my first retreat in 2019, I have attended four more retreats! I have come to realize how important it is for me to take time for myself and to embrace opportunities for fun and personal growth."

MEET YOUR GUIDES

COACH D.

I’m Derith — but most people know me as Coach D. I’m a women’s wellness coach, retreat guide, and the founder of FIERCE by Choice — a movement rooted in helping women fiercely love the skin they’re in through strength, self-care, and soul connection.

… but most of all, FIERCE is about choosing yourself, every single day. It’s about having the courage to step into your truth, your power, and your next season with intention.

I’ve been coaching for over 30 years, guiding women to create lives filled with purpose, confidence, and vitality. I’ve led thousands of fitness classes, coached habit transformation programs, hosted life-changing retreats, and built a community where women feel seen, supported, and strong — inside and out.

What lights me up? Helping women rediscover their power — physically, emotionally, and energetically. Whether it’s through a barbell, a breakthrough moment, or a still sunrise on retreat, I believe we all have the capacity to shift, heal, and grow.

My coaching blends movement, mindset, and meaning — with equal parts humor, truth-telling, and heart. You won’t find quick fixes here — only real conversations, aligned actions, and a deep commitment to living fully and fiercely.

This retreat is your invitation to press the pause button with intention and return to yourself. I can’t wait to walk alongside you.

JILL ROOKS

I’m Jill — coach, connector, and lifelong student of the human experience. I believe our bodies want to be well, and I’ve dedicated my life to helping others uncover the strongest, most vibrant version of themselves.

I’m the owner of The Energy Lab in Redlands, CA, a community-driven studio that’s proudly held the Readers Choice Award for Best Gym & Personal Training for over a decade. I’m also a TD Mastermind Coach, speaker, and co-author of 10 Stories of Strong Living, a book about resilience, wellness, and purpose.

Whether I’m coaching inside the studio or across the country, leading retreats, hosting my podcast, Guiding Light with Jill Rooks, or speaking on the power of human connection, my mission is always the same: to help people move, grow, and come alive — mind, body, and heart.

I’m known for my ability to lead teams, connect with diverse communities, and build a profitable fitness business rooted in authenticity and impact. I’m often one step ahead of wellness trends, creating meaningful experiences that truly meet people where they are.

My own path began as a kid doing 5am workout videos in New Jersey. Since 1998, I’ve taught thousands of classes, coached teams, and cultivated spaces where people feel seen, supported, and stronger than they thought possible.

In 2006, a notebook of dreams became The Energy Lab, a place where movement becomes transformation and community becomes a way of life. Now, this retreat is your invitation to step into that experience — to leave the noise behind and return to what matters most.

What I love most? Sparking change, challenging comfort zones, and creating moments of magic — in movement, in stillness, and in connection. Let’s begin.
