Mérida, Yucatán, México

Mérida is the capital of Yucatán State on the Yucatán Peninsula, it is a colonial city with a unique blend of Colonial, Mayan, and Mexican influences in architecture, culture, and history.

It will serve as our base for the week while we explore the jungles and Mayan sites of the Yucatán.

Your Private Yucatán Escape

We choose beautiful, private, shared spaces inside the heart of Mérida

Our group gathers inside a private home rather than a busy resort, eliminating the friction of modern tourism.

There are no checking-in lines, no strangers sharing our space, and no outside agendas—just a seamless, curated environment where you are fully held, beautifully taken care of, and free to just exist.

Meet Your Guide

Stephanie Schroeder

I created Compass Sagrada to offer guided wellness experiences through intimate, immersive, and interactive discovery on an exploratory journey to the self.

After standing in ceremony deep within the jungles of the Yucatan, my inner voice finally became loud enough to hear.

I remembered my true power—my confidence, my courage, and my wild, untamed strength.

Over the span of my life, Mexico has been a part of my heart!

I want to share these experiences with you!
