With origins in Aztec, Toltec and Mayan traditions, Dia de los muertos is the sacred celebration and spiritual reunification with our dead loved ones in the earth world. This tradition is rooted in the native Mexican belief that life on earth is a preparation for the next world and of the importance to maintain relationship with the dead. 

​

Dia de los Muertos is a vibrant celebration full of joy, color and flavor to honor renewed life. Kaya Wellness Retreat, A Soul's Journey, aims to awaken the life inside of you through exploring the self healing journey and the magical experience of culture, community and connection.

A mind and body powerhouse, this dynamic due has been serving their communities for over 20 years combined. Kelly and Stephanie met as college roommates and bonded over their love of the Indigo Girls and their quick problem solving skills after deciding who got to sleep on the bottom bunk. 

​

A self healing journey is nothing new for these two. From deaths of parents, disordered eating, abandonment, identity crisis, breakups, divorces, sexuality,  family drama and social activism these two have journeyed through the tough stuff and leaned into life's circumstances. 

While it is rarely easy, what they have learned is to respect their individual needs and strengthen their sense of self through community and serving others. Their experience both in life and professionally have set the stage for providing unique retreat experiences that aim to empower and support self healing journey's
