The door opens.
Open, unlock, revel, reveal, untangle, weave. Dive in, discover, dance with your edges, transmute, expand, receive. Curious, courageous…our voices, our bodies, our laughter, our wild play…

A Day at Wild Awaken
Beautifully prepared meals (gluten free, vegeterian and vegan options available), private & serene accommodations plus the Ananda Platform, our movement sanctuary, located 7 stories above the sea for breathtaking views, sea breeze, and our sacred site for movement, ritual & community.
Join artists Amy Sass, Jasmine Lok and Sarah Nickerson for WILD AWAKEN, a transformative journey to ignite the spirit. In concert with the magic of the island we will create, dance, sing, rejoice, re-story, and awaken the wild places within.
Paya Bay
A family owned, private resort Paya Bay is a secluded 22 acre sanctuary committed to being in communion with nature. Only a hundred yards from the beach is the second largest reef in the world, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Two natural beaches, private coves, ridges, cliffs, humongous rock formations, wetlands, and even a small island comprise these 22 acres. The vegetation is equally diverse, including species that grow right in the saltwater (mangroves) and species that seem to grow right out of the rocks. From coconut palms to dense tropical jungle to cactii. Several species of animals find refuge here. These include the threatened white-crowned pigeon (Patagioenas leucocephala), the green iguana (Iguana iguana), and the endangered spiny-tailed rock iguana (Ctenosaura oedirhina). A growing network of nature trails and paths are throughout the property, making all this natural beauty easily accessible and fun to explore.
Paya Bay is a Naturism (clothing optional) resort. With Sarah, Jasmine, and Amy as your guides, and the island as our partner we will co-create a sacred container for body-based creative and ceremonial expression. Each participant is invited to engage clothed or unclothed as feels best and healthy for them. This retreat is gender inclusive and open to adults only.
What we desire you to come home with?
Community of seekers and magic makers
Deep bonding and friendship
Strong sense of who you are and what is awakening
A courageous knowing of your edges and a little more comfort in the discomfort
Lightness, joy, ease, and restoration
A belly sore from laughter and a distinct imprint of joy and FIERCE PLAY
A deepening relationship with your body & spirit
Gratitude and appreciation of who YOU ARE
Wild Awaken is a retreat that embraces Body Liberation. Body Liberation is “freedom from social and political systems of oppression that designate certain bodies as more worthy, healthy, and desirable than others”. We intend to establish group agreements to clarify & support this practice. And, on Naturism, we will take this one step at a time gauging the groups comfort and desire for exploration. We love that Paya Bay provides us with the privilege and choice to practice naturism individually.
