can you relate?
Imagine Suzy, a 42-year-old marketing manager.  She constantly feels drained and struggles to focus.  Work bleeds into her evenings and weekends, leaving her with no time to relax.  

She used to love hiking, but now finds it too exhausting. Suzy longs for a vacation where she can disconnect, recharge, and figure out what she truly wants from life.

However, she worries about taking time off work and feels guilty prioritizing herself.  A relaxing holiday offers Suzy the chance to break free from this cycle and rediscover her sense of peace and purpose.
why JOMO in Rio?
Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of nature, breathing in the fresh, crisp air, and feeling the sun’s warmth on your skin.

This isn’t just a retreat – it’s your sanctuary, your oasis of calm amidst the chaos. It’s where you’ll rediscover your purpose, find clarity, and rejuvenate your spirit.
