Health Practitioners, Health Trainers, Investors, and Researcher are welcome to join us in making this vision!
The Concept
AZURA Retreat will be a space for healthcare professionals to slow down, reconnect, and remember who they are beyond their role.
Through shared activities, healing practices, creative expression, and deep conversation, we step away from burnout culture and into rest, rhythm, and real connection.
Rooted in the land and spirit of Mexico, we draw on both ancient wisdom and modern medicine to nourish the body, mind, and soul.
Message from the Founder
Hello, I’m Ariane Plaisance, a social anthropologist and Doctor in Community Health.
The Concept AZURA was born from my long conversations with healthcare professionals who shared with me their need for a break from their daily professional lives to rest and discuss their concerns and from my deep desire to create a space where care providers can come together not as roles but as people.
At AZURA, we fish, cook, garden, hike, share moments of silence, and have discussions that matter to return home, not just rested and reenergized, but realigned.
It’s a homecoming for the caretakers.
I look forward to welcoming you to the table.
With care,
Ariane
