SINGING WATER
Jungle Retreat for Women & Men
Flowing Creativity & Deep Purpose Through the Power of Voice
February 12 - 19, 2025
Tulum, Mexico
with Julie Blue
There is a voice within you yearning to be expressed.
It’s the voice of your innermost being, capable of roaring with passion, singing softly with tenderness, or humming into harmony.
This is the voice that transcends criticism, belonging to your authentic self.
It’s the melody of your inner song,
in rhythm with the pulse of the natural world.
Ultimately, it’s the voice of your purpose.
Envision yourself in a vibrant sanctuary where your voice can flourish. Here, you will uncover the courage to express your true self in story and song and embrace your purpose.
This is more than a journey;
it’s an invitation to awaken your creativity and connect deeply with nature, and community.
Join us at Singing Water Jungle Retreat, and let your inner being sing.

As a voice coach, I keep things nurturing and relaxed, where singing feels easy and creativity flows naturally. Everything we do is an invitation—there’s no pressure to do anything that doesn’t resonate with you. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Authentic Vocal Technique: You were born with a unique sound that is entirely your own. In this retreat, you’ll be guided to discover your true voice through simple yet powerful techniques that support your growth and expression.
- Improvisation & Light Language Singing: Allow your voice to become an extension of who you are as we sing, play, and create together. Discover how to channel the energy of light into spontaneous sound and song, opening the door to new possibilities for self-expression and connection.
- Journal or Video: You’ll have lots of time to relax and be with yourself. Talk to your journal or your video camera to let your inner thoughts, feelings amd creative juice flow. For those of you who want to grow your confidence and presence on camera, this will be a great tool.
- The Power of Story: You’ll be guided and inspired to craft your own signature story using the performance techniques from singing.
- Mantras: You’ll learn timeless, heart-opening mantras from around the world and experience the unique opportunity to chant with music resonating through the water as we float. This is a guaranteed recipe for pure bliss!
- Personal Mantra: Mantras have been used for centuries to center the mind, cultivate positive energy, and promote healing. You’ll create your own mantra will serve as a source of strength and inspiration on your journey.

How do I get there?
Traveling to Tulum is easy. I recommend flying into Cancun (CUN) International Airport as there are several nonstop connections per day from many airports.
From Cancun Airport, it’s about a 90-minute drive to our retreat center, Balam Ha. Because you are all arriving at different times, you will cover the cost of the reasonably priced transport. We will provide you with a link to the reputable company we use.
