Find the rhythm of your soul in a tropical paradise
Reconnect with yourself, find your unique rhythm, and experience renewal in the abundant landscapes of El Salvador, where the Pacific Ocean meets the volcanoes.
Transform feelings of disconnection, overwhelm, or exhaustion into a greater sense of coherence that brings more peace, presence, and aliveness into your life.
Return home with new sense of clarity, practical tools, and supportive practices that help you create more coherence in your everyday life.
Waking up to the sound of tropical birds and feeling the morning sun on your face as you enjoy your first cup of coffee.
Starting your day with yoga overlooking the Pacific Ocean, followed by a nourishing breakfast shared around a big table with like-minded people who are beginning to feel like friends.
Moving through the afternoons at your own pace. Catching waves in the warm Pacific, reading by the pool, resting in a hammock, exploring the area, or just allowing yourself to do absolutely nothing.
Noticing the mental noise becoming quieter. Feeling the tension in your body softening. Allowing yourself to hear your heart's whispers. Feeling grounded, alive, and nourished from the inside out.
If you're ready to meet yourself on a deeper level, reset your nervous system, and return home with more clarity, lightness, and practical tools - welcome to Coherence Retreat.
Imagine…
What is Coherence Retreat?Coherence Retreat is my heart's offering.
It brings together the practices, wisdom, and environment that have supported me most on my own healing journey. It is a space where you can reconnect, recharge, and remember what matters most.
More than a yoga holiday, Coherence Retreat is an invitation to step into a transformative experience designed to help you come home to yourself and cultivate coherence from within.
Throughout the week, you'll be supported by nature, movement, breathwork, rest, meaningful conversations, exploration, and a like-minded community: elements that can amplify long-lasting shifts.
Coherence Retreat is about reconnecting with your body, your heart, and your own inner rhythm while being held by the beauty and abundance of tropical El Salvador.

Your hosts and team
Maria Vesanen
Retreat Lead, Breathwork Facilitator & CoachHi, I'm Maria,
I'm an authenticity coach (ICF-CCE), certified breathwork facilitator, and the creator of Coherence Retreat.
My work is rooted in the belief that the most important relationship in our lives is the one we have with ourselves. When we know who we are, we make better choices, build healthier relationships, and live more fulfilling lives. And what's the point of life if not that?
I've been coming to El Salvador since 2022 and started building a wintering home here in 2023. This country has changed my life in many ways, and it's become a place where I feel alive and at home. Creating Coherence Retreat is my way of sharing a place that means so much to me and introducing its magic to others.
Hi, I'm Ryan,
I'm the founder of El Sal Vibes, a concierge and services platform in Surf City, El Salvador, and the local host behind Coherence Retreat.
I moved here from the United States five years ago, bringing my law and later tech sales career with me before eventually starting my own business. What began as a place to surf and work remotely gradually became home.
Today, I run a business that connects visitors with trusted local experiences while supporting local businesses and the community. During the retreat, I'll make sure everything behind the scenes runs smoothly, so you can relax and enjoy your time in El Salvador.

We’ll be working together with an international and local team of teachers, facilitators, chefs - all brilliant in their line of work. You’ll find more information about the team later!

Ryan helped me plan the absolute best birthday trip to El Salvador, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better travel planner. From start to finish, he was extremely helpful, answered every question I had, and made sure all the details were handled so everything ran smoothly.

Working with Maria was truly a transformative experience. When I started, I was frantically searching for peace. Over the course of the program, I gained so much clarity and this work brought me back into my body. It was like the path in front of me cleared, and things began to fall into place.

"Healing is the journey back to our natural state of balance and harmony that is called love. Healing becomes necessary when you lose contact with that natural state, when there is a disturbance in the Universal Flow. Healing can take place in many ways, each as uniquely individual as you. The one constant is for you to be connected to you.
When you are willing to accept responsibility for everything you create in your life, you can heal yourself. The power to heal lies within you. My role is to remind you of that, to be witness and hold space for you to make the necessary changes in your life without judgment in a safe, supportive and loving way."
