The Alchemy of Fire & Water

Mar de Jade Wellness Resort and Yoga Center

CHACALA, NAYARIT, MEXICO | APRIL 11 - 18 2026

FIRE & WATER

In the alchemical tradition, the **Fire Element** holds powerful teachings that guide the soul’s growth and evolution.
To the alchemist, the **Water Element** embodies the fluidity of that journey, providing the nourishment essential for that growth.

Together, the elements of Fire & Water harmonize all aspects of our being - mind, body, spirit, breath, and consciousness.

This April, Danielle and I reunite to guide you on a journey of alchemical transformation. Join us for a week-long soul-journ designed to support our collective evolution while nurturing your own path, purpose, and potential.

our location

Mar de Jade Wellness Resort and Yoga Center is located in Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico - just 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. Chacala is a small, yet charming Mexican fishing village that still retains a traditional way of life. Surrounded by tropical jungle mountainsides, and kissed with golden sand beaches, Chacala Bay is one of the most pristine and picturesque bays in the Riviera Nayarit.

the resort

Nestled amidst banana trees, bougainvillea flowers, and palm trees, Mar de Jade offers us a world renowned wellness and yoga center with sanctuary-like seclusion, situated just steps from Chacala Beach.

Grab a late afternoon smoothie, settle into a hammock beneath the shade of a thatched-roof palapa, and relax as you are rocked and caressed by sweet ocean breezes.

Additional Excursions & activities

calling in the water element with Yoga nidra

Danielle opens our epic week together with a deeply nourishing Yoga Nidra Ceremony. This powerful meditative practice invites us into a profound state of conscious relaxation, while planting and nurturing seeds of intention for the journey ahead.

calling in the water element with Las Cuevas ‘Water Caves’

Our week continues to unfold with a scenic boat ride from Mar de Jade to the remote beach of Las Cuevas ("The Caves"). Here, we’ll play in the waves, explore the caves, and deepen our connection to the ocean—and to each other.

calling in the fire element with a hike to the caldera

We welcome the fire element mid-week with a guided silent morning hike to the rim of an ancient volcanic caldera. Here we honor the Four Directions as we connect with the raw, elemental energy of fire—its power to transform, awaken, and renew.

calling in the fire element with the Temazcal

We close our transformative week with a sacred fire ceremony. As honored participants in a guided Temazcal Sweat Lodge—a tradition rooted in pre-Hispanic cultures—we journey through four puertas (doors), each symbolizing a phase of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual purification.
