Thank You For Your Curiosity

Jeela was born out of an overflowing joy for life and a heartfelt desire to offer something meaningful in a world that often feels challenging. In deep gratitude to our home, the Mexican Caribbean, we are honored to connect the wisdom and traditions of this land with the world. We love to plant seeds of transformation in every guest and student, spreading the spirit of Jeela far and wide, helping all who come here to feel more connected, nourished, and inspired

Music is essential to life, uniting us across cultures and moving us to dance, sing, and express emotions. From film scores to the sound of ocean waves, music surrounds us—offering connection, healing, and community. Founded in 2020, Jeela was born from a deep passion for music and its transformative potential. With the support of talented facilitators, Jeela has become a space where music breaks barriers and encourages authentic self-expression.

Why Jeela?

At Jeela, you don’t need to be a musician; it’s about letting go, being curious, and sharing your true self without fear of judgment. That is the medicine! We created Jeela as a place to gather, share, and co-create something meaningful with the many talented artists we are so privileged to have in our lives. We believe music should be accessible to everyone. We love to sing, to play, and to create spaces where everyone feels welcome to do the same—because music belongs to all of us.

Purpose Over Profit

At Jeela, we proudly embrace the purpose economy movement, committing to contribute to a better world. We recognize our responsibility to support others on their musical journeys and care for the planet we call home. Our vision goes beyond profit — we focus on nurturing the environment, raising collective awareness, and building a sustainable future. Creating Jeela has helped us uplift a diverse network of artists, medicine workers, wisdom keepers, and facilitators. We believe Jeela should benefit not only those involved but also the wider community and the land that sustains us.

We are committed to donating 20% of our profits to two organizations that share our values. The first is the Reef Rescue School in Puerto Morelos, which educates children about protecting our coral reef ecosystem. The second is Los Amigos de la Esquina in Tulum, a nonprofit empowering local and native Mayan children through music, art, and spiritual growth.

The Five Elements of Jeela

image

Authenticity

At Jeela we welcome the truth of who you are. Raw, real, and honest. We offer a space where masks can safely come off, and your most authentic self is not only welcome, but celebrated.

image

Playful

After years of neglecting our inner children, we’re finally coming home. At Jeela, we let joy lead the way. Embracing curiosity, spontaneity, and creativity as essential pathways to freedom. No judgement, free to explore.

image

Communication

We aim to listen deeply and speak from the heart. Through music, movement, and voice, we explore new ways of connecting — with ourselves, each other, and the world.

image

Ritual

We mark moments with meaning. Through ceremony, and intention, we co-create sacred spaces that hold, heal, and invite deeper presence.

Regenerative

Regeneration lives in the pause between the notes. Every sound, breath, and connection is thoughtfully tailored to nourish, restore, and leave you more alive than when you came.

Nourishment for the Soul

At Jeela, we believe food should be an experience, not just a meal. We're passionate foodies, and every dish we serve is 100% plant-based and generally gluten and refined sugar-free. What sets us apart is our in-house chef, Abeja, whose creativity never stops surprising us with her mouthwatering creations. She takes us on culinary adventures around the world, all while ensuring each meal is as nutritious as it is delicious. Whether it's possible with organic ingredients and unique flavors, we never cut corners when it comes to bringing you the best food experience possible.
