“Wow, my heart is exploding from all the connection this past weekend brought. Thank you to everyone who showed up and shared their hearts in such a generous way, and for the outpouring of love on this thread. I’ve been in tears reading everyone’s memories from the weekend. What an honor it was to create the container we all needed to play and connect safely in.”

A Special Space

Feel the magic of ocean, sand, and jungle coming together at Palmaïa - The House of AïA, a spiritually-inspired resort designed to provide healing energy to its guests. The exquisitely designed oceanfront suites allow you to take in ocean or jungle views, or swim out directly to one of three large pools straight from your private terrace. Michelin-trained chefs oversee the all-inclusive and locally-sourced vegan-friendly menus. Dance under the stars on private beaches wrapped in the comfort of warm nights with the rhythm of the waves accentuating the uplifting music played by world-class DJs. Palmaïa - The House of AïA offers a level of seclusion and an atmosphere of tranquility that becomes the perfect backdrop to truly drop in with yourself and others.

Play with Purpose

The core of the Yearn is joy. We believe that play opens our hearts and creates strong bonds – experience shared joy within yourself and others through laughter, connection, and expression on a deeper level with others who yearn. Everything you need is provided: uniquely crafted meals, special libations, workshops, performances, musicians and DJs, workshops, and new experiences to ignite your inner light. The Yearn is your canvas.

Embrace Serendipity

Experience coincidence and unexpected (but meant to be) connections that expand your horizons and give you just what you didn’t know you needed. Conversations that inspire, hugs that revive, laughter that releases, dancing that emboldens, smiles that invite, people that become community, and a you that grows more into who you are meant to be.

Curated for Connection

Who yearns with us? Invited guests who fall everywhere between the conscious curious and beyond. From founders and artists to non-profit leaders and facilitators – we all share a common thread: an aspiration to live purposefully.
