Into the Jungle: Exploring the Maya World of Spirit & Adventure

At The Stables at Sleeping Giant | October 19th - 27th, 2026

For Riders of Any Skill Level

Escape into the lush jungles and sacred lands of Belize for an extraordinary spiritual and adventure-based retreat rooted in connection, culture, and exploration. This immersive experience invites you to journey through the deep history of the Maya world while nurturing your relationship with self, nature, and community. Through a blend of adventure, spirituality, somatic awareness, and meaningful connection, participants will experience the powerful energy of the jungle while exploring personal growth in a grounded and intentional way.

Created by Apryl Nicole, this retreat was designed to bring more adventure, play, healing, and presence into the human experience. After traveling back and forth to Belize for over 12 years and building relationships that have become like family, Apryl has intentionally curated an experience that goes beyond tourism and into authentic connection with the land, its people, and its cultural history. Participants will engage in jungle adventures, horseback experiences focused on connection and nervous system awareness, sacred site exploration, and immersive experiences that encourage emotional grounding, reflection, and personal expansion.

This retreat also believes deeply in the importance of responsible travel and reciprocity. A portion of this experience will support fundraising efforts for local community-based initiatives and charities within Belize, helping give back to the people and environments that make these experiences possible. Responsible travel means moving through different communities with respect, awareness, and care while honoring local culture, supporting local families, and recognizing that healing and transformation should always exist alongside reciprocity and ethical connection.
