Welcome to The Light Within Retreats
Grief doesn’t have to be a lonely place of pain and suffering. We are here to help.
Grief can feel overwhelming, like a weight you’re not sure you’ll ever lift. It’s a pain that touches every part of your being, leaving you searching for a way forward. Grieving the loss of a loved one to mental health can especially leave loved ones feeling like the pain is just too much to carry.
We invite you to take a breath and join us in Sayulita, Mexico, a peaceful haven where healing hearts find hope. Surrounded by nature’s beauty, you’ll have the space to honor your pain, reconnect with your light, and begin to see the possibility of joy again.
You don’t have to face this alone—we’re here to help you take the first step toward healing.
We are… The Light Within Us All.
We offer a safe, serene place of transformation for the grieving.
We are a non-profit organization that provides onsite healing centers for those who are struggling to cope after suicide loss. With both individual and group excursions available, our mission is to provide care and comfort to those struggling in grief.
We combine traditional therapeutic methods —with holistic modalities — and the power of the ocean— to help you find joy once again.
You do not need to try and heal alone. We are here to show you how to restore your own light once again.

Riding the waves of grief.
We believe there are a number of similarities between grief and the ocean. But the one thing we have witnessed firsthand, is the transformative power of surfing as a proven, therapeutic method for coping with loss.
That is why we offer an immersive experience where guests can embrace the healing benefits of the ocean by riding waves. Whether you are new to surfing or have been catching waves for a lifetime, we believe in the healing power of the waves (las olas).
There is nothing more satisfying for us than seeing someone
grieving find joy again while learning to surf.
Our retreats focus on every aspect of healing the mind, body, and spirit. Located in the magical coastal communities in Nayarit Mexico, we provide safe anonymity when dealing with loss. Whether you want to sign up for one of our individual programs or join us at one of our intimate group settings, our programs are designed with healing at the forefront. We invite you to join us to go inward to find joy again.

Give the gift of light to someone in who is navigating loss.
Grief knows no socio-economic boundaries and leaves families paralyzed as they try to cope and rebuild after loss. Chances are, you or someone you know has felt the relentless pain of grief. That is why 100% of your donations go directly to provide one of our guests the opportunity to attend our healing retreats. Whether you elect to sponsor a particular individual in need or contribute to our general fund to help cover the costs we incur at our event, we greatly appreciate your kind donations.
“As I journey on this road discovering who this new me is ~ surrounded by such kind souls here ~ as I awaken to my new life and my calling. I understand there will be peaks and valleys. There will be highs and the lowest of lows. But I got this. I’m feeling all the feels. I am fully alive once more. ”
