Pura Vida Spiritual Medicine Healing Retreat (Jen Ciszewski)

It’s been a rough couple of years across the globe - climate change, hate crimes, a little thing called COVID… Amidst the never-ending grind of daily life, taking time for your mental health is key. If you’re looking for ways to unwind, you’re in luck.

Mental health retreats are growing in popularity, with a plethora of healing centers that offer counseling services, community, and other resources to help clear your mind and work through your feelings.

Pura Vida Wellness Retreat Center

If you need a mental-health break from honking horns, dirty streets, and smog then you may need to head to a small village near Puerto Vallarta called Yelapa. (Keep in mind, if you have a chronic condition, that this wellness retreat is unreachable by car.)

To gain access to the village, you arrive by boat and then walk, ride a horse, or take an ATV to your final destination. The land is legally protected by the indigenous people who inhabit it and is surrounded by jungle.

Retreat goers can look forward to mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, an approach to psychotherapy that integrates behavior modification strategies, talk therapy, and meditation.

Find Your Happiness

As the saying goes, the world is your oyster and when it comes to mental health, there are more ways than ever before to treat your symptoms while pampering your soul. Along with the traditional methods of therapy you may be familiar with, alternative and holistic practices are gaining traction among those eager to try a new approach.

If you’re dealing with a chronic condition, it’s wise to talk with your provider before signing up for any program. For more info visit the website at PuravidaEcoRetreat.com
