Mariposa: An Expressive Arts Therapy Retreat

Join Expressive Arts Therapist & MultiDisciplinary Artist, Zoë Dearborn, for Mariposa: The Art of Becoming, a 7-day experience where creativity, psychology, and embodiment come together as a path of self-actualization.

This isn’t your typical “retreat.” Yes, you’ll have time to swim, rest, and soak in beauty… but Mariposa is designed as a transformational intensive — blending depth psychology, expressive arts therapy, meditation, movement, and shadow work.

Think of it as a laboratory of your becoming more deeply yourself — where structure meets flow, intelligence meets intuition, and you’re guided to awaken each of your seven chakras as doorways into wholeness.

Featuring the laboratories of movement, meditation, dance, yoga, and art therapy that Zoë has been developing in Todos Santos for the past 15 years:

– Dance lab
– Art journal lab
– Chakra flow yoga
– Mariposa night 
– Zoë’s signature Embodied Imagination Process 

During the Mariposa Retreat, you will: 
– Learn polyvagal theory so you can restore your nervous system
– Meet and express your inner family of selves
– Learn how to work with your chakras
– Learn creative and fun ways to do shadow work
– Practice expressive arts therapies – visual art, writing, drama, music, and dance
– Move your body in new ways
– Enjoy healthy gourmet meals
– Create deep bonds and life-changing experiences

Retreat from your life with this special chance to go inward, discover, heal, and express all your selves in a therapeutic space in one of the most beautiful spots in the world – Hidden Leaf Baja in Todos Santos, Mexico.
