01 / The Knowing
You’ve done the work. You understand the nervous system — the polyvagal states, the window of tolerance, the way activation moves through the body. You can name what’s happening even while it’s happening.

Where The Work Actually Changes You
02 / The Reframe
And still — in the moment that matters, in your own life, your own body — something still overrides you. Knowing the map is not the same as changing the terrain. This retreat is where those two things finally meet.
03 / The Retreat
Understanding lives in the mind. Change lives in the body. This retreat was built to close that gap — deliberately, with the depth and breadth of practice that makes the work actually land. This October, HeartMind is offering the opportunity to experience this together, in-person, in community, with only twenty-five people, for seven uninterrupted days.
Your Embodied Experience
Why This Retreat Is Built Differently
This retreat is built with deliberate depth — science, stillness, movement, breath, and sound woven together across seven full days. Fleet brings the neuroscience and his embodied approach to contemplative practice and personal evolution.
The HeartMind team brings additional deep embodiment practices as certified instructors in breathwork, yoga, Qigong, and mat pilates, further landing and integrating Fleet’s Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness (NSM) & self-leadership teaching, training and guidance. The arc of every day facilitates deep body-mind-spirit experience and integration.

A Proprietary Methodology
Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness™ is a science-backed framework built over 40 years. It is a deeply embodied, heart-centered, and trauma-informed practice for awakening and meeting life’s challenges with compassion and resilience, integrating advanced meditation methods with network neuroscience, polyvagal theory, and HRV research — designed to produce change you can feel and science can measure, not just describe.
Twenty-Five People, Not Two Hundred
Twenty-five people. A small, intentional container where Fleet and the team know your name by day two and the group itself becomes part of the practice.
The First HeartMind Community Destination Retreat.
You likely know our work at HeartMind through online summits, courses, retreats, challenges, and possibly our community membership program or The Initiation, Fleet’s live, in-person signature program. Dr. Fleet has led over 150 in-person meditation retreats and more than 100 in-person transformational seminars over the past 30 years.
We are thrilled to now bring Fleet’s depth of experience as a retreat leader and renowned wisdom teachings to our HeartMind Community in the form of a small group, in-person, community-based retreat at the beautiful Yandara Yoga Retreat Center. We aspire to offer more such retreats in the future, but whatever comes next at HeartMind, this one will always have been the first HeartMind Community Retreat.
Food That’s Part of the Practice
Yandara, one of the preeminent yoga retreat centers in the world, is renowned for their fabulously delicious and high-quality, mostly vegetarian and vegan, organic and locally sourced cuisine — prepared with care and devotion by people who understand how the food we eat profoundly contributes to healing, energy, and well-being.

Fleet is a lineage-trained Buddhist and secular meditation teacher, a Zen Roshi, and a senior teacher in the Tibetan Mahamudra and Dzogchen meditation traditions. He holds a PhD in Psychology and has spent over 50 years in rigorous practice and training across Eastern and Western traditions, integrating the methodologies and insights of the world’s contemplative traditions with current neuroscience and positive psychology.
He studied and trained extensively with many of the most renowned spiritual teachers and meditation masters in the Tibetan, Zen, and other contemplative traditions, as well as several pioneers of the Human Potential Movement.
Fleet founded two national organizations — the Prison Dharma Network and the National Prison Hospice Association — and catalyzed two national movements through this work, accomplishing all of this while serving 14 years on a mandatory minimum federal drug sentence from 1985 to 1999.
A renowned social activist, Fleet has led prison trainings, Bearing Witness retreats, and street retreats around the world, including several Bearing Witness retreats in Rwanda. He leads the annual Zen Peacemaker Bearing Witness Retreat at Auschwitz-Birkenau and has served on that retreat’s leadership team for more than 25 years.

Praise from Dr. Fleet Maull’s colleagues for his book, Radical Responsibility
Fleet Maull’s creative and time-tested framework for reining in your own mind’s inflammatory, self-destructive, imprisoning tendencies can be powerfully freeing—and healing. All you need to do is put it into practice. He guides you in exactly how to do that and sustain it for life. You couldn’t be in better hands or have a more capable and authentic guide.
– Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhDThe path of Radical Responsibility evolves our capacity to respond—with wisdom, courage, and love—to the suffering of our world. Author Fleet Maull guides us masterfully in awakening from our separateness and inspires a profound dedication to caring for ourselves and each other.
– Tara Brach, PhDFleet Maull draws on his unique life journey and remarkable expertise, sharing with us how we can find equanimity and compassion in the maelstrom of our days. Radical Responsibility offers a sound and original blueprint for a life well lived.
– Daniel Goleman, PhDFollowing the path Radical Responsibility—a gift to us from author Fleet Maull's amazing real-life backstory—we learn to own our choices and create the freedom to craft our lives to be truly happy, reach our highest potential, and be a force for good that can change the world.
– Sharon SalzbergIt's a rare privilege to read the work of someone who walks the talk as fully as Fleet Maull. The transforming wisdom of his extraordinary life experience—from dharma practitioner to prison inmate to spiritual mentor—suffuses every page of this wonderful book.

Yandara, Baja, Mexico
Where You'll Be
Yandara has been a renowned working yoga and retreat community on the Baja coast since 2003 — a place built for practice and restorative healing.
An oceanfront property in Todos Santos, forty minutes from the Los Cabos airport. Open-air yoga pavilions facing the water. Glamping-style tents and simple rooms — comfortable, intentional, built for people who came to go deep. Evenings often end around a fire, sometimes with music.
Mostly vegetarian and vegan, organic, much of it grown or sourced locally, with occasional fish and breakfast eggs options. Meals here are unhurried and communal — long tables, real conversation, the kind of food that supports a nervous system rather than taxing it. This is not an afterthought to the programme. It's part of it.
Yandara retreatants often say the food is one of the highlights of their retreat—fresh, vibrant, and prepared with love. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or have other dietary needs, our kitchen team takes great care to accommodate you.
This Is the First. There Is No Other First.
Seven full days, with Fleet in person, in one place
Be in the room where it starts.
Most of us live in a near-constant state of doing — even our healing can become another item on the list. This retreat is an invitation to step fully out of that constant doing in order to give your nervous system the time and space it actually needs to reorganize, integrate, and restore. Not someday. Now. Because the world needs people who have done this work — and you deserve to be one of them. The practitioners who show up for this one will carry something the others won’t. They were here first.

Yes, this is glamping, and it is truly luxurious glamping in a 5-star beachside location with super healthy 5-star food at this incredible restorative yoga retreat center designed to facilitate your nervous system reset, while nurturing your body, heart, mind, and spirit in Mother Nature’s embrace.

Yes — and possibly more so. Practitioners consistently report that Fleet’s work reaches something their professional training didn’t. He has been training and mentoring body-mind work teachers for more than 40 years. This isn’t a beginner retreat, but it’s also not a credential program. It’s seven days of restorative practice that works with you — regardless of how much you already know or your level of practice experience.
This retreat is built around a methodology Fleet spent 50 years developing, paired deliberately with a variety of complimentary embodied healing and integration practices. You get the science and the somatic work, integrated, every day.
The embodied work at this retreat — Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness™ meditation, yoga, somatic healing, breathwork, and sound — is selected and sequenced specifically to support integration. What you understand in the morning, you move through in the afternoon. This is how the work goes from insight to actual change in the body.
No. However, at Yandara there is quiet time after the program ends in the evening and prior to breakfast, which creates a restful environment for everyone involved.

A group shuttle runs $45 per person each way during the arrival window. Transfers outside that window may cost more, and private options may be available. Full transfer details are sent after you register.
