Santo Tomas Retreats – Directors & Sisters

Hanna & Erin

Hanna Hinze and Erin Lowe grew up in Arizona with Santo Tomas, Mexico as a home away from home since birth. Their fondest memories growing up include wonderful adventures all around the beautiful Southwest United States. They grew up with parents who studied nutrition, holistic health and regional ecology, and led an active lifestyle which fostered an instinctual love for healthy living. For years, Hanna and Erin brought friends and family to Santo Tomas to marvel in its beauty, to enjoy time bonding and to be refreshed in this peaceful secluded setting. The freedom, fresh air, welcoming beach and vast blue ocean created a true sanctuary for these sisters their entire lives and inspired in them a sense of adventure and desire to explore the natural wonders of this beautiful world.

Hanna and Erin spent summers traveling, hiking and camping throughout the national and state parks and public lands, exploring unbeaten paths all around the world, and reveling in the rich history, cultures and natural beauty of each destination! They’ve dedicated their lives to gaining education and experience in hospitality, education, health and wellness and in crafting destination events mindfully; with purpose and passion. Now with their health retreats, Hanna and Erin share this revitalizing experience with their treasured guests. Their dream of holding health retreats at beautiful Santo Tomas became a reality over 4 years ago and they’re now expanding to the Southwestern United States with more magical locations to come!

Hanna and Erin, It is so amazing to see all that you and your family has done to make Santo Tomas such a wonderful experience. I came here to reset with little expectation. I was able to do just that and SO MUCH MORE! Awesome yoga, yummy and nutritious food and the massages were so relaxing and straight SOUL FOOD! Great work! Love you both!

Laura K.Chandler, AZ

My 2^nd retreat and it only gets better. I feel like I really got a chance to recharge my batteries. The food was so nourishing, the yoga so healing, and the environment so peaceful. The Sea of Cortez is truly medicine for the soul. I love it here!

Ashley N.Phoenix, AZ

For my first trip outside of the U.S. I could not have gone to a more life changing place. You and your family are the kindest and most passionate people I know. Santo Tomas is magical and has an energy unlike anything I have ever experienced.

Aaron F.Houston, TX

This weekend was just what I needed! The energy was uplifting, while the companionship, yoga and paddle boarding all nurtured my soul. I feel refreshed, energized and creative again. Thank you for sharing Santo Tomas with us! I can’t wait to come back again!
