Join us for the Reencuentro retreat in Oaxaca, Mexico where you will have the opportunity to reconnect with your roots, nurture yourself, and embrace & learn about empowerment. We chose Oaxaca and Casa Colonial for our retreat because the moment we arrived, we felt the intentionality and warmth of the space. Oaxaca’s culture, food, people, and energy create an atmosphere that invites slowing down, reconnecting, and being present. Casa Colonial offers the perfect home base—welcoming, walkable to everything, and filled with the vibrant spirit of the city. It’s a place where grounding, community, and transformation naturally unfold.
Why is it only for Latinas:
Because we deserve a space where we don’t have to explain ourselves. A space where our stories, our identity, our humor, our Spanish-Spanglish mix, and the layers of our lived experience are understood without translation. Too often, we move through the world code-switching—adjusting how we speak, think, or show up to fit into spaces that weren’t created with us in mind. This retreat is different. It is intentionally designed by Latinas, for Latinas so we can exhale, feel seen, and simply belong. Here, we can reconnect to ourselves, our heritage, and each other—without needing to educate, justify, or shrink. This is our space to take up room, to heal, and to reclaim joy in community.
Claudia Muro and Dr. Xochilt Alamillo are excited to announce the Reencuentro: Reconnecting with the Powerful You Retreat for Latinas. Meet the Latinas, therapists, and hosts who will guide you in this experience.

At Reencuentro: Reconnecting with the Powerful You, Xochilt brings her love of community, her lived experience as a Chicana mother and first-gen professional, and her belief that Latinas deserve rest, joy, and spaciousness, not just survival.
Daily Workshops Facilitated by Dr. Xochilt & Claudia. Each morning, Dr. Xochilt and Claudia will guide workshops that build on one another throughout the week.
