About this retreat

A wellness retreat with real depth, lineage, and intelligence behind it.


Vitality Renewed is led by board-certified Doctor of Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine, Gudrun Snyder, and consultant and speaker Camille Seigle. Created for women who want their time away to restore them and teach them something they'll carry home.


On a private estate where the jungle meets the Caribbean, you'll learn the ancient practices of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, receive a personalized Chinese astrology reading drawn from a one-on-one consultation, and sit for private executive coaching grounded in your individual Human Design. It's part restoration, part recalibration. Real care for the body, clarity for the mind, and a blueprint for how you're actually built to move through the world.


Pair that with the quiet luxury of Hotel Esencia, and you don't simply relax. You return to your energy, your direction, and yourself - vitality renewed.


What You’ll Experience 

Vitality Renewed is more than time away. Throughout the retreat, Gudrun and Camille will guide you through practices that not only restore you in the moment, but leave you with tools and insights you'll continue to use long after you return home.


You'll come away with a deeper understanding of your own energy, stress patterns, and innate capacity for healing - not simply feeling better, but knowing how to support your vitality in everyday life.


Integration 

Your experience deepens through thoughtfully curated modalities that help insights land and real change take root. Alongside Moon Rabbit’s signature TCM-informed programming, each guest receives a personalized Human Design session to illuminate their unique energetic blueprint. This one-on-one work supports clarity, alignment, and meaningful integration long after you return home. 


Nourishment 

Nourishment on this retreat is both grounding and elevated, a return to eating in harmony with the seasons, the environment, and your body’s natural rhythms. Hotel Esencia’s culinary philosophy mirrors this beautifully: meals are simple yet sophisticated, drawing from Mexico’s vibrant regional cuisines and the comforts of Mediterranean cooking. 


Community 

The experience is intentionally intimate, creating space for meaningful conversation, genuine connection, and shared growth. Surrounded by women who are equally committed to living with greater vitality and intention, you'll find that some of the most valuable moments happen between the scheduled sessions. Through shared practices, meals, and unhurried conversations, community becomes part of the learning itself - a reminder that transformation is often strengthened when it's witnessed and supported by others.
