Spiritual Psychology: “Living A Soul Centered Life”

Program & Retreat (7 nights)

Todos Santos, Mexico | November 1st-8th, 2025

Do you ever find yourself asking:

  • How can I live with more ease and grace instead of struggle?

  • More self-acceptance and less self-doubt or emotional upset?

  • More meaning and purpose instead of feeling lost or stuck in circles?

  • An abundance mentality rather than lack and comparison?

  • Compassion instead of judgment—for both yourself and others?

  • Peace and harmony rather than racing thoughts and overthinking?

  • Genuine self-love rather than negative self-talk?

  • Fulfilling relationships rather than settling for less?

When we slow down and listen to the intelligence of our hearts and the wisdom of the soul, we can begin to take gentle dominion over the ego-mind. In doing so, true transformation becomes possible. But rising above the dominance of the mind isn’t always easy. This program is designed to support exactly that: nurturing your growth from the inside out. You’ll be guided by the inner wisdom of your heart and soul, learning to let the mind serve as a faithful companion, not the leader of your life.

OVERVIEW:

This soul-centered training program is carefully curated to guide you to explore the realms of consciousness—physical, mental, emotional, subconscious, and the soul. By practicing a soul-centered way of being, you’ll have the opportunity to live more from your true essence—which is love. Each day, you will have numerous opportunities to explore & practice more compassionate ways of relating to yourself and others. 

During the course, you will: 

  • Work with and embody spiritual qualities and virtues such as Compassion, Acceptance, Trust, Surrender, Abundance, Gratitude, Loving Kindness, and Joy. 

  • Learn to use numerous practices and skills to transform our consciousness in gentle ways, such as psychosynthesis, self-forgiveness work, working with judgments and projections, visioning, and more. 

  • Play with a rich array of perspectives across themes such as co-creation, non-duality, and transcending the ego (mind-dominance). 

  • Each day includes lessons, breakout processes, journal prompting, yoga, meditation, and fun activities. There will also be plenty of time for rest, reflection, integration, pool and beach time.

***A special part of the experience will be a service project (Seva) with a local non-profit called Grupo Madre Teresa, where we will spend time off-campus preparing and delivering meals to locals in need—one of the many highlights of the course!

This program is limited to 12 students.

TESTIMONIALS:

I had such an amazing experience with Laina and the wonderful women in this module at Yandara.  I have gained a wealth of understanding in not only myself, but with how to use the tools we were given to help others.  I left a better person than I arrived, and have cultivated friendships that will last a lifetime!  Yandara is magical, and will be a place I come back to again and again. I love you to the moon and back!

The first time I met Laina at another retreat, I was at the lowest point in my adult life. Her retreat was a lifeline back. It helped me believe that I had everything I needed inside of me. This Spiritual Training program in Mexico really anchored that for me. Mostly, that I am worthy. I am abundant. Laina, you will forever be my teacher, touchstone and trusted friend. I see you. You are a blessing and I am so grateful to the universe for helping us connect.
