Who to Expect

Your transportation manager and tour guide is Antonio "Tony" Dominguez. We met him in 2020 when he worked for a large tour company. He, along with a business partner, has since started his own, private transportation and tour service. He will be a participant in the retreat, our interpreter (when needed), and our tour guide at Chichen Itza and the cenote. Tony is very proud of the Yucatan's history and continues to expand his knowledge and education to share a rich culture and history with everyone he meets.

The owner of the retreat center is the wife of the late Adalberto Rivera. Her name is Celika and we had a soul connection with her when we visited in 2020. She will join the group to share her husband's (very intentional) vision, design, and planning for the retreat center. I can't wait for you all to meet her.

Your Mayan shaman is Jesus "Eduardo" Orduño Guillen. We also met him in 2020 when we visited Cozumel. We had the privilege of having a private temazcal with him and we captured his joyful essence as soon as we saw his smile. We spent the afternoon with him, asking questions of the Mayan beliefs and rituals. His connection to the Earth and to the Heavens is exquisite. He and his beautiful wife, Minori, will be a participate in the retreat and will lead the temazcal for the group.

Your facilitators are Shannon Plummer and Bob Sima.

Bob Sima is to music what Wayne Dyer, Don Miguel Ruiz, and Eckhart Tolle are to books and Rumi, Hafiz, and David Whyte are to poetry. He is troubadour, a way-shower, a guide, an awakener, and a musical mystic. Through the medium of melody and message, he leads listeners to an expanded consciousness, deeper sense of connection, and inner peace and purpose. His music bridges daily life and soul consciousness, the eternal with the now. He delivers instantly accessible songs that take up residence and resonance in your soul. Sima is a dynamic singer-songwriter, performer, storyteller, speaker, servant of humanity, workshop and retreat leader, meditation and breathwork facilitator, and creative collaborator — often weaving all of these elements into a single performance. When Sima opens his mouth to sing, what emerges is far beyond the human sounds of his warm and soulful voice. It’s a call, a remembrance, a soft and steady place to land. He speaks the language of the Universe, the language of the soul, the language of the heart. But he’s not just singing to his audience and it’s not just a performance. It’s a gathering, a connection – somewhat of a musical satsang or gathering of truth – that navigates the audience on a profound musical journey. Bob has an unparalleled ability to connect audiences in a visceral, powerful way, changing the vibration and consciousness in the room.

We have your transportation arranged to return you to Cancun or Merida Airport after breakfast. PLEASE consider booking a return flight that leaves AFTER 1pm if you are departing Mexico the last day of the retreat. The commute back to Cancun is 3 hours plus it includes a time change. (Translated meaning: If your flight is before noon, you will have to leave Oka'an around 5am.) The commute back to Merida is 2 hours in the same time zone.
