🌴 The PLAY! Retreat 2026 🌴
Uaymitún, Mexico | January 16–21, 2026
Only 8 spots. Because this is intimate AF.
Let’s be honest… the world’s on fire.
You’re doing your best. You’ve been holding it together.
And maybe, just maybe—you need a freaking break.
Like a real break.
Not a “scroll TikTok with dead eyes and call it self-care” kind of break.
We’re talking about sunshine-on-your-face, ocean-in-your-hair, no-one-needs-anything-from-you kind of break.
That’s where PLAY! comes in.
Welcome to your permission slip to stop adulting for five whole days and just… breathe, laugh, stretch, dance, eat amazing food, and feel like yourself again.
This isn’t a hustle retreat.
It’s not a juice cleanse.
It’s not a seminar where you learn how to optimize your mornings or monetize your magic (unless you want to talk about that over margaritas).
It’s rest.
It’s joy.
It’s you remembering who the hell you are.
🐆 What’s the vibe?
You’ll stay in a luxe beach house in Uaymitún, Mexico—aka paradise. We’re talking beachfront views, private pool, epic sunrises, and zero pressure to do anything but enjoy.

January 16–21, 2026
Uaymitún, Mexico
Beachfront villa. Private chef. Cenotes. Yoga. Dance parties. Flamingos. And FUN.
Only 8 spots for the most amazing humans (like YOU) who are ready to stop surviving and start PLAYING.
Say yes to yourself. You deserve it.
Picture this…
You arrive at a dreamy oceanfront villa in Mexico. Someone hands you a cold drink. You kick off your shoes. And for the first time in forever—you exhale. Deeply. Fully. Like your nervous system just got the memo: “We’re safe now.”
Welcome to the PLAY! Retreat.
Every. Single. Detail. Is. Handled.
✨ A private chef whipping up vibrant Yucatán dishes that taste like sunshine.
✨ Concierge and housekeeping magic so you don’t have to lift a finger.
✨ Beachfront views that make your jaw drop every. single. morning.
This isn’t just a vacation—it’s a soul-deep reset. 🏝️
Let’s talk about YOU time:
☀️ Long lazy afternoons in the pool.
☀️ Sand between your toes.
☀️ A coconut in one hand, and zero responsibilities in the other.
You wanna zen out with yoga? Done.
You wanna nap in a hammock? Do it.
You wanna laugh-cry-dance to a DJ set on the beach under the stars? Yes, yes, yes.
But here’s where it gets juicy:
This isn’t just about relaxing—it’s about remembering who you are when the noise stops.
This villa? It’s not just a house. It’s your permission slip to soften, explore, reflect, reconnect, and feel inspired again. Cozy corners for journaling. Open spaces for dancing. Moments that will sneak up on you and change everything.
✨ This is where the magic happens.
✨ This is the break you didn’t know you needed.
✨ This is PLAY.
You in?
And me? I’m not just your retreat host—I’m your personal hype woman, your cheerleader, your cozy coach with a sprinkle of sparkle. 🌟
I’ll be right there beside you, helping you reconnect with what lights you up. Gently guiding you back to your magic. Nudging you toward the version of you that feels vibrant, alive, and fully YOU again.
✨ Expect laughter. Maybe a few happy tears.
✨ Little breakthroughs. Big permission slips.
✨ And moments where you remember… “Oh yeah. I am freaking amazing.”
But honestly? One of the BEST parts of this retreat is who you’ll be sharing it with.
These aren’t just other participants. They’re your future soul fam.
The kind of people you bond with instantly. The kind you stay up laughing with under the stars. The kind who just get it.
So, you ready?
To say yes to joy?
Yes to deep breaths, beach naps, breakthroughs, and barefoot dancing?
Yes to memories that will glow in your heart forever?

Your Host: Taraleigh Weathers
🌟 Meet Your Retreat Guide: Taraleigh Weathers (aka DJ Cheetatah)
Hey, I’m Taraleigh—and I’ll be your guide, support system, dance partner, and hype woman at the PLAY! Retreat.
I’ve been leading retreats for over a decade, and my favorite thing in the world is helping people remember how good it feels to just be. To rest. To play. To connect. To feel like yourself again.
I’m the Wellness Director for Music Masters Camps near Woodstock, NY, where I bring together music, mindfulness, and community in beautiful ways. I’ve led over 20 retreats across the U.S. and abroad, and whether it’s through yoga, dance, coaching, or heartfelt conversations over snacks—I’m here to help you soften into joy and feel more like you.
These days, I also go by DJ Cheetatah—a disco house DJ and producer creating feel-good music and throwing sparkly dance parties for people who want to let go and have fun. You’ll get a taste of that at the retreat, too—music is a big part of my magic.
Before all of this, I was an NBA cheerleader (yep, pom-poms and all). That chapter taught me a lot about energy, presence, and how powerful it is to move your body and express yourself. Since then, I’ve been featured in places like Relix, Huffington Post, MindBodyGreen, and Live for Live Music. I’ve spoken and taught at festivals like Jam Cruise, Hulaween, and more—and I’ve been lucky to do what I love in a lot of cool places.
I also wrote a book called How to Rock Your Life.
When I’m not working, I’m probably going for a walk, hanging with my husband Dan, dancing in my kitchen, or dreaming up the next wild adventure.
This retreat in Uaymitún, Mexico is one I’m especially excited about. It’s warm, it’s beautiful, and it’s designed to give you the space to breathe, rest, and play in a way you might not have let yourself in a long time.
I can’t wait to meet you and spend this time together. 💛

Testimonials
I first attended a retreat by Taraleigh nine years ago in Vermont with musician Ryan Montbleau.
It was wonderful but for no particular reason I didn’t do another. That is until three years without a proper vacation, the winter doldrums and the state of the outer world and my inner world had me dreaming of respite. That’s when I saw her post about a February retreat in Mexico.
I messaged her “tell me more about this retreat. Will there be snorkeling? I need to snorkel.”
A month later I found myself sharing a huge house with a private room overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We laughed, we cried, we danced, we snorkeled on our private beach, took a boat to many beaches and bays, achieved “float nirvana” in the pool, enjoyed daily morning yoga/meditation to the sounds of the ocean, drank pool side sunset cocktails, dined al fresco, oceanside mud treatments supporting a local women’s collective , and on…
I return with a healed body (I was sick for weeks prior) and a renewed spirit. And with 8 new friends who somehow feel like old friends.
If you haven’t experienced the beauty and magic in retreat, I encourage you to try.
“I was never going to go if I waited for someone to come with me.”
Kim Blake
Let me start by saying that when I first stumbled upon Taraleigh’s retreat, I was in a really dark place. I was questioning myself, feeling stuck, and unsure if I even had it in me to sign up. But deep down, I knew that this retreat was exactly what I needed to do for myself. And I’m grateful that I took that leap of faith!
From the moment I attended my first retreat, I felt a shift within me. It was like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds and illuminating my path. The retreat itself was a powerful experience, filled with self-discovery, personal growth, and a sense of connection that I had been longing for. Taraleigh’s guidance and the supportive community she cultivates created a safe and nurturing space for me to explore, heal, and expand.
But here’s the most incredible part: the impact of these retreats doesn’t fade away after the event is over. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. The retreats have become a guiding light in my life, and I find myself attending almost every single one that Taraleigh offers. Why? Because they keep me on the path I want to be on.
Each retreat brings new insights, skills, and mindset shifts that continue to shape my journey long after I’ve returned home. Taraleigh has an incredible ability to create experiences that not only inspire in the moment but also leave a lasting impact on our lives. The tools and practices I’ve learned at these retreats have become an integral part of my daily life, allowing me to navigate challenges, cultivate self-love, and manifest my dreams.
But it’s not just about the personal growth and transformation. The connections I’ve made at these retreats are truly priceless. The people I’ve met have become lifelong friends, soul sisters, and a support network that I cherish deeply. We uplift, inspire, and hold space for each other, even when we’re miles apart. The community that Taraleigh creates is like no other, and being surrounded by such incredible souls is an invaluable gift.
If you’re feeling stuck, seeking personal growth, or craving a sense of connection and inspiration, I wholeheartedly encourage you to go to one of Taraleigh’s retreats. They are the bright light that keeps me going, the catalyst for my ongoing transformation, and the source of immeasurable joy and growth.
I can’t even put into words how much these retreats have impacted my life, and I believe with all my heart that they can do the same for you. Take that leap of faith, trust your intuition, and go on this incredible journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
– Nikki
I highly recommend attending a retreat hosted by Taraleigh. I’ve been to 4 and can honestly say it’s been the best money ever spent and I hope to continue to attend ones in the future. She has created a safe and inclusive space that is nothing like I have ever experienced. We laugh, we cry, we eat, we dance and we yoga together. You are empowered to participate as much or as little as you want. I will leave each retreat with new friends that I can call upon when I need a shoulder to cry on or just to talk. If you are on the fence, Take the leap and sign up. You won’t regret it.
– Lauren
In May of 2019, I was battling 5 months of sadness that I felt would never end. I went to a weekend retreat with Taraleigh and by the end, my sadness had lifted and was replaced with a sense of hope and true happiness. The space that Taraleigh holds during these retreats is magical and carried back into my “real life” once I left. I felt safe sharing my emotions during her well thought out activities that were full of self reflection. Immediate bonds were made with the others attending the retreats. So many of these women I consider dear friends of mine to this day.
Her retreat changed my life for the better and I continue to hold that magic, her magic, in my heart to this day!
– Dawn Jenkins
A retreat with Taraleigh is like a vacation with your fairy godmother guiding you through your adventures! I’ve gone on many of her retreats now, and each time it was to give myself a break from every day monotony, to inspire me, and to nourish my soul. Every time I leave with new friends and feeling fulfilled. I keep going back so I can be with my retreat friends and family, and so I can continue to try new things!
– Annie
I have to share the most amazing experience I had recently at one of Taraleigh’s retreats, and I can’t stop thinking about how much you would absolutely love it too. Before I finally took the leap and signed up, I was always coming up with excuses not to go, but deep down, I knew I was missing out on something truly special. And was I right!
From the moment I arrived at the retreat, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. The level of care and attention to detail was unparalleled. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing; everything was taken care of. For once, I was the one being pampered and looked after, and it felt incredible. The retreat provided the perfect balance of relaxation, laughter, and self-discovery.
But the biggest benefit of all was the connections I made. I laughed until I cried, cried until I healed, and formed deep bonds with incredible individuals who quickly became my new best friends. These are people I know I can count on for anything I need. The sense of support, understanding, and love that permeated the entire retreat was something I had been craving for so long.
Believe me when I say that this retreat exceeded my expectations in every possible way, and I had high expectations to begin with. If you’re looking for an opportunity to recharge, find joy, and connect with like-minded souls in the most beautiful setting imaginable, I urge you to join me at Taraleigh’s retreat. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss out on, and I promise you’ll come back feeling renewed, inspired, and with memories that will last a lifetime.

Location
Uaymitún, Mexico
🌊 Welcome to Uaymitún: Your Quiet Coastal Haven in Mexico 🌴
Tucked along the serene northern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, Uaymitún is one of those hidden gems that feels like a secret whispered just to you. Imagine a place where the rhythm of the waves sets the pace of your day, the breeze carries the scent of salt and sunshine, and life feels simpler, softer, and more yours. ✨
What’s It Like?
Uaymitún isn’t touristy or loud. It’s gentle. Peaceful. Naturally stunning.
Here, it’s all about barefoot mornings, beach walks with flamingos in the distance, and days that stretch out with nothing on the to-do list except be. The beach is wide and quiet. The ocean? Calm and inviting. And the sky? Oh—don’t even get me started on those pink and orange sunrises.
Whether you’re floating in the pool, journaling on a breezy terrace, or dancing at sunset with your new soul fam, Uaymitún holds space for you to reconnect—with nature, with your joy, and with yourself.
The Vibe:
🌅 Soft, Soulful Sunrises: With the beach facing east, each morning is a quiet light show of pastel skies and ocean glow—a dreamy way to start your day.
🍽️ Fresh, Local Flavor: Think handmade tortillas, tropical fruits, and Yucatecan specialties cooked with love by our private chef. Simple. Flavorful. Nourishing.
🌊 Ocean Energy, Your Way: Whether you’re dipping your toes in, floating with a mocktail, or just meditating to the sound of the waves, the sea is always there to support you.
🧘♀️ Private, Peaceful, and Grounding: Uaymitún is slow living at its finest. No big crowds. No pressure. Just a safe, sweet place to breathe.
🌺 Nature Everywhere: Flamingos in the estuaries, palms swaying in the breeze, and the kind of stillness that lets your nervous system finally chill.
Why You’ll Love It:
Uaymitún doesn’t need to shout—it whispers. It reminds you that joy doesn’t have to be loud, that healing happens in quiet moments, and that life gets way more magical when you give yourself space to actually feel it.
It’s not about “escaping real life.”
It’s about remembering how good real life can actually feel. 🌴💫
