Amanecer Retreats by Agathe Fay

Based in Baja California Sur at Casa Kura Kura, Agathe Fey designs personal treatment retreats for individuals, as well as sometimes for groups, at her Amanecer Wellness retreats. Agathe treats clients with general burnout and stress, as well as specific stresses from mental health disorders, drug addictions, or physical addictions. Occasionally, Agathe organizes larger retreats open to the public, such as an 8-day retreat centered around a topic, such as choosing love over fear.

She also coordinates with U.S.-based therapists, including therapists who focus on internal family systems (IFS) and eye movement therapy (EMDR), so clients can have continuity of therapeutic support before and after their retreat and continue working with the same therapist once they return home.

Santi Mindfulness in Therapy

Agathe bases her therapies primarily on yogic and Buddhist practices. In particular, she uses the "santi" concept of mindfulness, breathwork methods, crystal healing, talk therapy, and adventure therapies. She encourages clients to confront core wounds with therapies like inner-child healing and with mindfully confronting stressors.

Introspective Therapy Sessions

Agathe's therapy offerings last 30-120 per session, with multiple sessions in a retreat. She defines the therapy practices as introspective yin practices or movement-based yang practices. Some therapies she offers are garden alchemy, psychadelic-assisted therapy, acupuncture, yoga, reiki, massages, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), family systems therapy, art therapy, various massage techniques, scuba diving, surfing, sports, cooking, pendulum energy clearing, hypnosis, and nutrition counseling.
