Full Moon Ceremony

with Cacao, Ecstatic

Dance, and Sound Bath

Monthly

Every full moon after sun set in front of Guru Beach Club on Playa Norte
Isla Mujeres, MX

The moon is returning to its fullest expression—join me and a rotating lineup of local healers, xamans, and light workers as we release what no longer serves us, grounding our feet in the sand, stars in our eyes, ocean waves coming and going with the sound of your breath. On this sacred land, we ask for permission from Ixchel, Mayan Goddess of the Moon, to support the journey of release and renewal for our collective best and highest good.

Offerings

  • Reiki

    Reiki is an energy healing technique that help people feel relaxed, reduces stress, depression and anxiety, reduces physical pain, and provides meaningful guidance and insight. I use my hands to read and deliver energy from and to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

  • Yoga

    Connecting breath to movement, I love to encourage my students to do all the things that feel really good in their body. Guiding your practice with a banging playlist, a big smile, and an open heart, you’ll leave feeling mentally, emotionally, and physically expansive.

  • Events, Ceremonies, & Retreats

    From designing conferences for thousands of corporate employees, or more intimate personal development retreats, I use my unique blend of travel experiences, personal development, and formal education to orchestrate the brilliant basics and magic moments that leave a lasting impression.

It’s me, Jess Barnes

And, I believe in my body and nature’s ability to heal itself.

In May 2023, I was given an unexpected gift—a moment of profound change. I was laid off from a soul-squandering job that I didn’t love, and let me tell you, it did not love me back. At that time, I knew deep within that I could no longer stay where I was physically, mentally, or emotionally. It was time to choose myself, my dreams, and a life aligned with my highest good.

I’ve always lived by the mantra, “If not now, when?” So, I took a leap of faith and moved myself and my two dogs Paco & Pica to Mexico. The vision was clear: to immerse myself in the beauty of the ocean, to connect with its wisdom, and to guide others on their healing journeys through Reiki, yoga, and transformative travel experiences.

The plan was loose, and it’s still unfolding. Every day, I remind myself to listen to my body, trust its wisdom, and care for it in the way it deserves. This journey hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been worth it. When I was in crisis I was struggling deeply, and now I feel confident and worthy of creating a life I love.

No matter where you are on your journey, you are not alone and you are capable of more than you may even realize. I’m going to work on me, you work on you, and together we will rise. If you’d like some support on your journey, I’d love to be your guide.
