Curated Private Retreats
Tailored experiences designed just for you—because your journey is as unique as you are.
At El Corazon, we believe in the power of a well-curated retreat. There’s something deeply special about having the time, space, and support to truly focus on yourself without distractions.
Our primary retreat offerings are crafted with this in mind—to give you the clarity, peace, and fresh perspective you may be searching for. But here, you’re not limited to a rigid itinerary. Instead, you’re free to shape your own experience, choosing what feels right for you.
Whether you’re drawn to transformative guided breathwork, peaceful hikes, or liberating ice baths, we offer a variety of Retreat Enhancements to make this experience feel like it was designed just for you.
With over 12 years of experience as a transformative coach, Angelito will tailor each coaching session to help you tackle the real challenges in your life, so you leave feeling more empowered and focused.
Each retreat combines our core offerings with the specific enhancements you select, creating a unique path that suits where you are now.
And remember, our retreats are flexible; if your needs change or something new calls to you, we’ll make it happen. This is your space to recharge, reflect, and explore—so you can step back into life feeling grounded, inspired, and ready for what’s next.
Let this be more than a getaway—let it be the beginning of your next chapter.
