The 5 Elements Retreat
TULUM, MEXICO
April 27 - May 1, 2026
Arrive for 5 days to pause, reset, and rise.
Leave with grounded clarity and quiet confidence to live from your center.
This is for you if...
You need a pause.
A pause from carrying the mental load.
From pushing through when your body is asking you to pause.
From constantly doing more, when what you really need is space to just be—bare feet in the sand, heart open, held by the jungle.
This is that space.

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

The Energy of 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 us and all around us.
Throughout our time together, you’ll experience these elements not just as metaphors, but as embodied practices, rituals, and true transformation — 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.

FIND YOUR TRIBE. DISCOVER YOURSELF:
We have 4 Villas at Kaaba Luum, one for each element:
Water, Air, Fire, & Earth.
The downstairs space of each villa is a studio style suite, also with its own private entrance, featuring a full kitchen, an open living room concept, two (2) high-end convertible king beds (including memory foam mattress toppers) and a beautiful bathroom.
This space is ideal if you want to come with a friend or a group as you can all share the space together, either sharing beds or not.
Each villa includes black-out curtains on both levels in addition to organic soaps, linens and robes, and its own plunge pool and roof-top terrace (shown above).
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 the retreat 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—most people know me as Coach D. I’m a women’s wellness coach, retreat guide, and founder of FIERCE by Choice—a movement built on strength, self-care, and soul-level connection.
At the heart of FIERCE is one choice: choose yourself. Not someday. Not when life calms down. Today.
For 30+ years, I’ve coached women to get stronger, build habits that hold, and step into their next season with courage and clarity—through classes, coaching, and retreats that create real change from the inside out.
My style is equal parts movement, mindset, and meaning—with humor, truth, and a deep belief that you are capable of more than you’ve been told. No quick fixes. Just aligned action, strong support, and the space to return to yourself.
This retreat is your invitation to pause with intention—and come home to your power. I can’t wait to walk beside you in Tulum.
JILL ROOKS
I’m Jill—coach, connector, and lifelong student of what helps people come alive. I believe our bodies want to be well, and my work is about helping you access your strongest, most vibrant self—mind, body, and heart.
I’m the owner of The Energy Lab in Redlands, California—a community-driven studio recognized as Best Gym & Personal Training for over a decade. I’m also a TD Mastermind Coach, speaker, podcast host of Guiding Light with Jill Rooks, and co-author of 10 Stories of Strong Living.
Since 1998, I’ve coached thousands of classes and built spaces where people feel seen, supported, and stronger than they thought possible. I’m known for leading with authenticity, reading the room, and creating experiences that meet people exactly where they are—while still calling them forward.
This retreat is your invitation to step away from the noise, reconnect to what matters, and remember what’s possible when you’re supported, challenged, and deeply connected.
Let’s begin.
