Details

There's a part of you that has never fully gone quiet. It's the part that wants to stand somewhere wild, do the thing that scares you a little, and feel fully, unmistakably alive. UnBound is eight days of getting her back. We spend the week at Tawa Refugio, a family-run lodge where Lake Tagua Tagua pours into the Puelo River in northern Patagonia, Chile. It's wood and glass tucked into the hillside, ringed by rainforest and the Andes, with no cell service in the valley. We go in April, which is mid-autumn there. The forests turn red and gold, the lakes go still, mushrooms come up everywhere, and the trails are empty. Our local guides say it's their favorite month of the year. This isn't an escape from your life. It's a few days wild enough to remind you who you are underneath all of it: still strong, still curious, still capable of awe. The retreat is built on the UnBound Method, five threads that run through every practice, hike, and conversation. You'll face a little fear in a supported group, reconnect with what lights you up, build confidence on and off the mat, practice healthy boundaries, and learn manifestation the grounded way. That means clarity plus a regulated nervous system plus aligned action, not magical thinking. Underneath it all is Autumn's Rooted & Radiant Vinyasa, which moves from grounding into effort and then into deep rest. It trains your nervous system to move between effort and ease. You'll leave with a nervous system that remembers what settled feels like. You'll also have the self-trust that comes from doing something hard in a wild place, friendships with women who get it, and practical tools to take home: breathwork, Yoga Nidra, and the science of how change actually happens. The group is small, capped at 14 women. Most are 35–60 and most come alone. You don't need to be an advanced yogi, and every activity is optional. Come as you are.

A few years ago, the Tagua - a native bird of Chile - lived here, in the Puelo River, building its nests on the shore of Tagua Tagua Lake. In Tawa, Refugio del Puelo, we were inspired by the history of this bird and created a space of harmony and connection with nature, where you can live a cozy, unique, simple and authentic experience, a true refuge in the immensity of this valley. A place to dream, a place to plan adventures, a place to explore, a place to share and also to rest while enjoying the simplicity, elegance and warmth that only nature can give us.

All meals are included: 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches, and 7 dinners, prepared by Tawa Refugio's chefs. The food is some of the best you'll eat anywhere. It's local and seasonal, and a little show-offy in the best way. Mornings start with a breakfast buffet. Lunches and dinners at the lodge are three-course meals, and on excursion days we bring delicious boxed meals out with us. The Chilean diet leans more heavily on animal proteins than you may be used to at home, but vegetarian options are available. We accommodate dietary needs. Share yours when you book, and meals will be prepared with them in mind. Chilean wine, local beer, and craft cocktails are available for anyone who wants to enjoy them mindfully.
