Awaken The Heart: A Bhakti Retreat in Tulum, Mexico
Enliven your Heart and invigorate your Spark for Life amidst the stunning natural beauty of the Mayan Riviera!
Come, deeply immerse yourself in this potent jungle land, at Casa Arkaana Eco-retreat, where we will gather to chant, sing, dance, honor, play and invoke the sacred energies of the Vedic gods and goddesses through the practices of Kirtan, Bhajan, Puja, Yoga, Meditation & Ayurveda.
From Feb. 24-Mar. 2 2025, we will be united in the pathway of Bhakti, in order to come into greater self-knowing and alignment with nature, life and the Divine. Guided by Tiffany and Sraddha — both passionate bhaktas, teachers, and students of life — this Retreat offers an invitation to step into your heart’s truest essence through these deeply sacred and profound practices.
Casa Arkaana embodies sustainable living and eco-beauty through permaculture design, off-grid energy, and a commitment to supporting the local community. The Casa Arkaana staff will serve us delicious plant-based and gluten-free meals within the company of our community of kindred souls.
Each day will begin with a collective Puja Ritual, followed by richly heart-inspired Yoga & Meditation Sadhana, as well as the delight and bliss of Kirtan. Each day will also include powerful, targeted practices and inspired talks focused on deepening self-awareness and union with Truth. Our evenings will conclude with the gifts of Kirtan, Vedic Storytelling, Fireside Mantra & Nidra Yoga.
In addition to our time on the retreat grounds, you’ll be invited on special day trips to explore the pristine Mayan Riviera beaches for swimming and snorkeling, and to discover the mystical crystalline cenotes for cleansing dips. We will deeply immerse ourselves in the beauty of this powerfully healing land. Casa Arakaana also offers authentic Temazcal ceremonies, which will provide a traditional Mayan healing experience to cleanse and rejuvenate us to connect more deeply with earth, spirit and our inner resource of silence.
During this Bhakti Retreat, we’ll also be celebrating Maha Shivaratri on February 26th. Maha Shivaratri is a night of transcendence, divine union, and inner stillness. It is a powerful time to honor Lord Shiva with Mantra Chanting, Meditation, and Silence, and we will do so together under the New Moon Sky.
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the pathway of Bhakti & Yoga, this retreat has been curated as your opportunity to rekindle your connection to the Divine within and to nourish the depths of your Heart.

YOUR RETREAT HOSTS:
Caroline Śraddhā Monette’s journey to kirtan began in 2007 on a transformative trip to Australia, where she first experienced the deeply healing and energizing effects of mantra chanting. Captivated by the powerful connection that kirtan creates, Śraddhā embraced the practice as a way to uplift and unite communities. Since then, she has immersed herself in the study of Sanskrit, mantra, yoga, and meditation, which has shaped her approach as a facilitator. Whether leading kirtan at festivals, retreats, or intimate gatherings, her unique voice and grounded energy create a space where participants can liberate, uplift, and connect.
