IBIZA
WHO THIS IS FOR
This retreat is for you if:
You seem fine on the surface but feel disconnected from yourself. You've read the books, maybe tried therapy, but you know you need something more embodied. You're tired of performing and ready to be raw. You want transformation without sacrificing beauty and comfort.
You're craving:
Deep connection but don't know how to access it in daily life
Permission to feel ALL your emotions (not just the comfortable ones)
A nervous system that actually feels calm
Community that goes beyond surface-level small talk
To remember what it feels like to be fully alive
You're 1-3 years into your personal growth journey - not brand new to this work, but not 15 ayahuasca ceremonies deep either. You're ready for the next level.
This retreat is NOT for you if:
You're looking for a spa vacation with no emotional depth. You want strict rules and rigid structure. You're closed-minded or resistant to change. You're not ready to be vulnerable in community.

ABOUT JACQUELYN
The Woman Behind Kakun
Friends told me my superpower was making people feel safe enough to drop their masks. So I started creating spaces for that - first in NYC, then Mexico, now Ibiza.
My real training started at 13 when I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. That taught me to listen to my body before I had words for it. At 36, I'm healthier than ever - not because I fought my body, but because I learned to work with it. That's what I teach now.
I spent 9 months getting certified with Alchemy of Breath because I saw how profoundly breathwork shifted people. Then I dove into Somatic Experiencing training. But beyond certifications, I've spent the last 5 summers in Ibiza, planting my energy into this finca. When you arrive, you're stepping into a space that's been intentionally cultivated for years.
My approach: We go back to what's raw and real. We feel everything - anger, joy, grief, wildness. We build community that isn't performative. And we do it all in beauty, because transformation doesn't require suffering.
THE BREATHWORK EXPERIENCE
This Isn't Just Guided Breathing - It's Somatic Transformation
The breathwork sessions at Kakun have become legendary among past participants. This isn't breathwork for relaxation - this is breathwork for release, recalibration, and remembering.
What happens in a Kakun breathwork session:
You'll lie down, close your eyes, and I'll guide you through a specific breathing pattern designed to activate your nervous system and then bring it back to baseline. We use music, touch (if you consent), and intuitive guidance to help you move stuck energy.
What people experience:
-
Emotional releases they didn't know they needed
-
Physical sensations of stored trauma leaving the body
-
Clarity about patterns and decisions
-
Deep rest and nervous system regulation
-
Creative insights emerging and flowing
-
A felt sense of landing back in their body, fully
This work goes deeper than talk therapy because we're working directly with what's stored in your body, not just your mind.
I haven't had my period in over TWO YEARS and it's not a coincidence that after our Breathwork session, I got it for the first time! There was definitely a blockage to my womb that you helped me work through. It was incredibly powerful (at times scary), but I felt held the entire time.
ANONYMOUS
I loved the shift from grieving to wild playful childlike release. It felt playful, like we were kids but I also felt like I was really able to release and scream and let it out. I walked out feeling very different.
ADAM
I had a beautiful somatic experience with Jacquelyn. She guided me into awareness of what my body was holding and helped me dissolve stored tension. I left feeling grounded, centered, and noticeably lighter.

WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS SAY
"The idea of being so vulnerable seemed so fleeting to me. What Jacquelyn has accomplished at Kakun is remarkable - a space where individuals at all stages can come together to share love, empathy, and understanding in ways I've never experienced before." - Jesse
"Kakun is more than just a retreat; it's an encounter with the deepest parts of yourself. It's an opportunity to let go of the heavy baggage you've collected along the way so you can emerge lighter than air." - Michelle
"I emerged from this immersive experience feeling like a phoenix rising from the ashes - completely rejuvenated, re-energized, and utterly in tune with the best version of myself. For the first time in memory, I felt happiness radiate from within me." - Catherine
"I've been on a journey of self-discovery for a while, and as an artist who has sometimes struggled to find my way in the world, this experience allowed me to see my path more clearly and to approach it from a place of love and expansion rather than fear." - Grettel
"Jacquelyn and her team curate a most tender environment that encourages people to get in touch with + show up as their most authentic self. By the end of the week, a tight knit community has formed." - Luna
"It's incredible how transformative a space Jacquelyn can create between a group of people who have never met. The rawness and beauty of the experiences she initiates is truly unique and heart opening!" - Frank
"People have seen me back home and I'm radiating, they don't understand what happened to me. It's been beautiful to come out of my shell and embrace myself fully." - Stefi
"I leave with greater clarity, a sense of empowerment, and a heart full of inspiration for what lies ahead." - Simon
"When my mom saw me after the retreat, she got tears in her eyes because she said she had never seen me so obviously, deeply genuinely happy." - Catherine
WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
Over 5 days, we'll move through practices designed to recalibrate your nervous system and reconnect you with your aliveness. Ample space to rest, integrate, journal, swim, or simply be. Transformation needs spaciousness.
Three daily plant-based meals crafted from local ingredients. We eat together, slowly, by candlelight.
Nourishing Meals
Begin each day with meditation, yoga, or primal movement to awaken your body. We move intuitively, sometimes gentle, sometimes wild.
Movement
Build resilience and presence through temperature contrast. Learn to stay with discomfort.
Cold plunge & Sauna
Two transformative sessions that work directly with your nervous system. This is where the deepest shifts happen.
Breathwork
Hike Ibiza's rugged coastlines and wild landscapes. Let the island medicine work on you.
Nature Immersion
Guided sharing circles where we practice being seen and seeing others. This is where community forms.
Vulnerability Workshops
FEEL IT ALL
The Full Emotional Spectrum Welcome Here
Most retreats only want you "peaceful" and "zen." I believe we need space for ALL emotions - including the messy ones.
We'll create containers for:
Anger and rage (safely expressed and released)
Grief and sadness (fully felt, not bypassed)
Joy and wildness (dancing, laughing, being childlike)
Fear and vulnerability (shared in community)
You don't need to be "healed" to come here. You just need to be willing to feel.
OUR HOME
Ibiza isn't just a party island. For me, it represents freedom, playfulness, and a portal for deep transformation. I've spent my past 5 summers here, and the island's energy is palpable.
I've been planting my energy on this property for years. The wellness deck where we do breathwork, the garden where we eat meals, the sauna and cold plunge I installed, every element has been intentionally created.
The space itself is medicine. As soon as you walk in, it feels like a warm hug. The roosters crow in the morning. The afternoon light creates a golden glow. It's simple, beautiful, and deeply peaceful.
Other retreat centers need time to align to someone's energy field. This space is already aligned to mine, which means when you arrive, you can drop in immediately.

Yes, we’ve intentionally built in downtime for rest and integration. However, this is a fully immersive experience, designed as a closed container to support deep transformation. For this reason, all participants will remain on the property for the duration of the retreat. If you'd like to explore the island’s beauty and energy, I recommend arriving a few days early or extending your stay after the retreat to fully enjoy Ibiza at your own pace.
