Ayurveda Immersion Level 2

by Sylvia De Marco

March 19-25, 2026

Deepen Your Healing Journey

As many of you know, Finca Victoria is renowned for its transformative Panchakarma program. Here, we expertly guide you through the process of cleansing toxins, removing stagnation, and releasing cellular debris from your body to create a lighter, revitalized you. In this clearer state, you’ll invite nourishment that fosters new habits, replaces toxins with vital energy, and allows your natural vitality to flow. The result? A fresher, lighter, and more confident version of yourself — clear-minded, mobile, and deeply renewed.

About The Immersion Level 2

Ayurveda Immersion Level 1 introduces the foundational principles and lifestyle practices of Ayurveda, empowering you to maintain health and balance in daily life. Immersion Level 2 takes you further, teaching you how to create your own personalized reset program at home—perfectly attuned to the changing seasons or the evolving needs of your life. In Ayurveda, seasonal resets are recommended; for example, summer’s Pitta-balancing cleanses focus on cooling, while winter’s protocols emphasize warmth and moisture. Your unique needs and life circumstances are always central to our approach.

Eligibility

Ayurveda Immersion 2 is open to those who have completed Level 1, or who hold prior Ayurvedic certifications or experience. Our group remains intentionally small and supportive, ensuring personalized attention and a caring community.

A Hands-On Transformational Detox

In Immersion 2, we’ll find ourselves on a powerful group detox while deepening your understanding of Ayurvedic principles. Through immersive, hands-on experience, you’ll witness your body shifting, purging, healing, and becoming noticeably lighter and more vibrant.

You’ll design your own personalized detox plan based on your doshic imbalances. Together, we’ll explore the lymphatic system, learn self-massage techniques for effective drainage, make herbal scrubs, cook nutrient-rich detox meals, and discover the healing power of Ayurvedic herbs and spices. You’ll experience Basti therapy (herbal enemas) and conclude with a potent liver flush. By journey’s end, you’ll feel rejuvenated, energetically cleared, and empowered with knowledge to continue your Ayurvedic path at home.

All Packages Include

  • Each participant will have either private or shared accommodation in one of our beautiful units. You get to pick which room category you desire.

  • We will arrange airport or ferry pick-up on your arrival date and drop-off on your departure date. (Only applies between 8am-5pm)

  • We have separated pockets of time during the retreat to take you to explore this beautiful island. We will be taking you to different beaches as well as sharing with you a little bit of the history, flora and fauna.

  • A sequence performed in the morning to aid detoxification of the body and mind. It nourishes and rejuvenates the tissues and organ systems. Morning routines are a practice of self-love and alone-time with oneself which develops immense benefits— including self-awareness and mindfulness. Some of the Ayurvedic morning routines are as follows:

    Tongue scraping— to detoxify the lymphatic system

    Mouth swish with medicated oil— to nourish the gums, teeth, and tongue, and to decrease congestion in the chest, face, and throat

    Herbal eye wash-- to improve sight and activate the intuitive capabilities of the body

    Nasya— a procedure of medicated oil application through the nose to lubricate the nasal passageways, to decrease sinus blockages and allergies, and to nourish the facial cavities. Additionally, this Nasya treatment will decrease headaches and neck pain, and will improve pituitary gland actions that control a large amount of hormone production in the endocrine system.

  • Our classes will start with 30 minutes of pranayama an meditation, followed by an hour and a half of vinyasa flow.

    An asana practice is a vital companion to any Ayurvedic immersion, helping to move stagnant energy, support detoxification, and restore balance in the body and mind.

    Through intentional movement and breath, asana prepares the body to better receive Ayurvedic nourishment and deepen self-awareness. It becomes a grounding ritual that integrates the wisdom of Ayurveda into embodied experience.

  • Enjoy nourishing Ayurvedic meals thoughtfully crafted to support balance, digestion, and rejuvenation. Each dish is plant-based, seasonal, and infused with healing spices, designed to align with Ayurvedic principles and the body’s natural rhythms.

  • To support you in becoming an active participant in your own healing journey, we provide thoughtfully prepared materials and offer lectures that dive deeper into the principles and practices of Ayurveda.

    Upon arrival, you’ll receive a comprehensive pamphlet designed to guide you throughout the retreat and continue supporting your integration and self-care once you return home.

  • Throughout the retreat, workshops are designed to offer hands-on, experiential learning that deepens your connection to Ayurvedic wisdom and your own healing process.

    You’ll engage in practices like creating your personalized detox plan, self-abhyanga, face and head drainage techniques, and herbal medicine preparation for deep detoxification.

    These sessions empower you with practical tools to support lymphatic health, liver cleansing, and sustainable self-care beyond the retreat.

  • The Integration Circle offers a gentle space to reflect on and digest all that’s unfolded during the retreat. It’s a moment to pause, connect, and share insights or emotions in community—honoring the personal shifts and collective experience. With guided reflection and open-hearted dialogue, this gathering supports you in carrying the retreat’s teachings into your everyday life, grounding your transformation in lasting ways.

YOGA

Yoga is a vital component of Ayurvedic living, helping to harmonize the physical body with the breath, mind, and deeper awareness. It acts as a tool for self-regulation, allowing us to process emotions, release stagnation, and realign with our natural rhythm. Rooted in daily practice, yoga becomes a pathway to presence, clarity, and inner balance.

Each morning will begin with 30 minutes of pranayama and meditation to awaken the breath and center the mind, followed by a dynamic 90-minute Vinyasa flow to move energy and cultivate strength and ease. Whether you're new to yoga or more experienced, modifications and personalized support will be available so everyone feels empowered in their practice.

As part of your detox journey, you’ll be nourished with vibrant, healing Ayurvedic meals designed to support cleansing, digestion, and rejuvenation. Each breakfast, served after morning yoga, will be thoughtfully crafted by our chef to align with the day’s focus. Lunches will often be prepared during interactive cooking classes, where you’ll explore how to adapt Ayurvedic principles to your own cooking style while learning to create deeply nourishing, detox-supportive meals. Dinners will be kept light and easy to digest, in accordance with Ayurvedic guidelines, to promote restful sleep and gentle elimination.

Nestled on a hillside with refreshing cross-ventilation, our center offers a tranquil retreat surrounded by lush vegetation and the soothing melodies of native Coqui frogs. Situated atop one of the island's highest vantage points, we enjoy breathtaking views of both sunrises and sunsets. This island boasts minimal light pollution— creating an ideal setting for stargazing. On clear nights, even the Milky Way graces our skies— adding to the awe-inspiring experience.

Spanning three acres, Finca Victoria encompasses a variety of architectural structures seamlessly integrated within the lush vegetation. The land is teeming with fertility— showcasing an array of tropical plants, fruit-bearing trees, blossoms, and cacti.

Vieques— a unique island embraced by the Caribbean Sea— boasts abundant vegetation, year-round warmth, and a surreal landscape accentuated by a population of 2,000 free-roaming horses. This special enclave is a part of Puerto Rico and can be accessed via ferry or a swift, “island-hopper” plane.

A part of our store has also been dedicated to outsourcing artisans that create wonderful natural products such as cold-pressed soaps, skincare products, reef-safe sunblock, scrubs, a variety of smoke blends, and more!

The heart of the hotel is our exclusive Pavilion. It is a large, open structure overlooking the surrounding foliage and our pool. Here you will find numerous lounging areas— as well as a work space with excellent WiFi. Complimentary homemade teas and herbal infused water are available 24/7. Our host can also be found here, and is available to assist you from 9:00am-5:00pm .

Our Gardens

Perched amidst the central mountains of the island, Finca Victoria enjoys a more tropical climate and cooler temperatures than other parts of the island. Within this mini ecosystem, a variety of indigenous and fruit-bearing trees, tropical blooms, and charming inhabitants— like the coqui frogs— thrive.

In addition, we have herbs around the property that serve as the source of ingredients for some of our teas, herbal infused water and spa's herbal treatments. We extend a warm invitation to our guests to embark on journeys through the enchanting gardens that grace every corner of our property.

Beaches in Vieques

The beaches of Vieques offer an exquisite blend of natural beauty and tranquility. With powder-soft sands and crystal-clear waters, each beach has its own unique charm. From the bioluminescent wonder of Mosquito Bay to the secluded coves surrounded by lush foliage, Vieques' beaches promise a serene escape. Whether you seek vibrant snorkeling spots, peaceful sunbathing havens, or the chance to witness the island's wild horses against a coastal backdrop, Vieques' beaches invite you to immerse yourself in their captivating allure. Our daily beach ride add on serves as a great opportunity to experience a different beach every day!

The Maloka & Yoga

The Maloka— with its stunning ocean view— is our newest structure. This space is dedicated to our daily yoga practice and serves as a gathering place during our yoga classes, embodiment practices & shamanic rituals.

Our morning yoga classes are focused on matching breath with movement, alignment, and creative sequencing. Expect the crisp morning air, a beautiful Savasana under the open sky, and singing bowls to close the practice.

Additionally, the Maloka holds a profound spiritual significance as the sacred space where we conduct our most cherished ceremonies. Within its sheltering walls, we gather to honor ancient traditions, celebrate milestones, and connect with the deeper rhythms of existence. The Maloka's ambiance— coupled with its panoramic view of the ocean— enhances the sense of reverence and connection during these transformative moments.

Meet the Facilitators

Our facilitators bring years of expertise in Ayurveda, yoga, and holistic healing. They create a supportive, knowledgeable environment to help participants deepen their knowledge of Ayurvedic practices and support their journey toward balance and well-being.

  • When Sylvia started her journey with Ayurveda, she had no idea what life had in store for her. As she dove deeper in Ayurvedic practices, she had a constant feeling of remembering. The body and soul remembered their natural state of ease and flow. Through Ayurveda, she discovered that finding joy and harmony in the modern existence was a lot easier than she had thought. She simply had to go back to basics. Ayurveda and its yoga practices were one with nature and its natural processes and cycles.

    One of her biggest joys was sharing her yoga practice with others. For her, yoga was the practice of connecting with the body. From that deep connection, she could further connect to her spirituality. Yoga was a tool of embodiment— a space to integrate life and all its experiences— the beauty and sorrow, and all the ups and downs. It was an honor for her to guide others into this practice, and into inhabiting their bodies with intention and awareness.

    The beautiful blend of nature, science, and mind-body practices that is the ancient healing system of Ayurveda, is what initially drew Lindsay in. She has enthusiastically been a student of Ayurveda since 2019, and a hands-on, practicing Panchakarma facilitator. She develops customized and unique treatment plans tailored to each individual's constitution with complete awareness, care, and attention to create balance. She is continually inspired by the transformations she witnesses thanks to the healing power of Ayurveda.

    Lindsay has a strong passion for healing with plants, herbs, and flowers— while also guiding others to connect with them on their own unique healing journeys. Her specialties include creating herbal medicines, teas, customized tonics, and herbal baths.

What our past participants have to say…

"I felt incredibly healthy by the end of it. I'm going to do it again”

Yung Pueblo- Writer

My time at the yoga and embodiment retreat at Finca Victoria this past November was nothing short of transformative. The Ayurvedic workshops were a true gift—filled with wisdom and practical tools that helped me understand my body’s unique needs in a whole new way. I left with a clearer sense of how to nurture myself and align with my natural rhythms. The Human Design sessions were equally eye-opening. I was
amazed by how much insight they offered into my strengths, challenges, and life’s purpose. Most importantly, the retreat helped me begin to reflect on my dharmic path from a place of genuine connection and clarity.

-Maria Gabriela Rodriguez

“ Every herb, every treatment, every meal, every ritual was a portal to the divineand a portal back to myself. A homecoming. What a sacred gift.”
