The Experience
A Glimpse Into the Pause
Our Philosophy
We believe wellness is not something to be mastered, earned, or perfected.
It is something we return to.
In a world that constantly encourages productivity, performance, and overstimulation, we create spaces that invite people to slow down, soften, and reconnect with themselves in a more intentional way.
We believe true well-being is not built through a single practice, quick fix, or momentary escape. It is cultivated through the relationship between movement, nourishment, mindfulness, rest, connection, and the environments that hold us.
The Interlude was created from the belief that meaningful transformation happens when people feel safe enough to pause.
When the nervous system settles.
When the body is listened to rather than pushed.
When nourishment becomes an act of care instead of restriction.
When movement becomes grounding instead of performance.
When connection feels genuine rather than transactional.
Every Interlude experience is intentionally designed to support the whole person. Through thoughtfully curated retreats, immersive wellness experiences, mindful movement, nourishing meals, meaningful conversation, and restorative practices, we create an atmosphere where guests can step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most.
Our approach blends holistic wellness with the warmth of intentional hospitality, creating experiences that feel both supportive and transformative. Every detail is approached with care — because how people feel within a space matters just as much as what they learn within it.
At its core, The Interlude is an invitation.
An invitation to pause. To breathe deeply. To reconnect with your body, your mind, your relationships, and yourself.
Because sometimes the most meaningful shifts happen not during life's busiest moments, but within the space between them. The space we call The Interlude.
The Team
The people behind it
The Interlude was born from an unexpected yet deeply aligned partnership between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who discovered a shared passion for connection, wellness, and meaningful human experience.
Ashley Riviere — Co-Founder · Hospitality & Movement
With more than fifteen years in hospitality and client experience, Ashley developed a deep understanding of what makes people feel truly cared for. Her background taught her that the most meaningful experiences are not built solely through beautiful spaces or perfect details, but through warmth, presence, personalization, and genuine human connection. Her transition into the fitness and wellness world further deepened this perspective. As a [solidcore] fitness coach, Ashley witnessed firsthand how intentional movement can transform not only the body, but confidence, self-trust, and emotional well-being. She became passionate about creating environments where people feel supported enough to slow down, reconnect, and fully experience themselves. Ashley brings the heart of experience design to The Interlude, thoughtfully curating spaces that feel welcoming, restorative, and deeply human.
Rachel Moncayo — Co-Founder · Holistic Wellness
Rachel brings more than twenty years of combined studio ownership and private practice in holistic integrative wellness, mindfulness education, and Yoga/functional movement. Through her MoveNourishMind philosophy, she developed an approach that weaves together movement, nourishment, and mindfulness into a sustainable framework for whole-person wellness. Her work is rooted in the belief that wellness is not found in extremes or quick fixes, but through intentional daily practices that support the mind, body, and nervous system together. Alongside her wellness background, Rachel spent twenty-five years teaching, leading teams, and managing projects within large and mid-sized technology organizations. Her experience in leadership and education shaped her ability to translate complex wellness concepts into practical, accessible tools that create meaningful and lasting change. Rachel brings the depth of knowledge, mindfulness, and educational foundation that grounds The Interlude experience. qonsciousfit.com
Christine Oliver — Personal Chef
A Boston native with over 25 years in hospitality, Christine brings heart, artistry, and earth-centered wisdom to every table. A seasoned chef, farmer, and holistic health coach, she weaves together her backgrounds in yoga, meditation, and psychology to create nourishing dining experiences that celebrate the connection between body, spirit, and the earth. Currently pursuing her master's in Expressive Arts Therapies, she explores the intersection of earth-based practices and movement, and spirituality, inviting guests to experience food as both sustenance and creative expression.
What Clients Say
“Rachel has a gift for making you feel seen. Her workshops didn't feel like a program — they felt like a conversation I'd been waiting to have with myself.”

On working with Rachel
Before You Arrive
Everything You Need to Know
We've answered the questions so you can stop planning and start looking forward.
Nearest Airport
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU), San Juan, PR — approximately 11 minutes from the villa by rideshare or taxi. No connecting flight required from most major U.S. cities.
Arrival & Departure
Arrive on Sunday, November 2nd. Check-in begins at 4:00 PM; our welcome gathering is at 5:00 PM. Departure is Wednesday, November 5th after morning activities including a farewell breakfast — plan flights no earlier than 1:00 PM.
Passport & Entry
Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. U.S. citizens do not need a passport — a valid government-issued ID is all that's required. International guests should check standard U.S. travel entry requirements.
Weather
Early November in San Juan is warm and pleasant — typically 80–85°F (27–29°C) with low humidity and a light sea breeze. Occasional short tropical showers are possible. Evenings are comfortable outdoors.
What to Pack
Light comfy clothing. Yoga wear for morning and evening sessions. A swimsuit and cover-up. One additional swimsuit or shorts & tank that you don't mind getting messy. One relaxed dinner outfit. Comfortable sandals and/or beach flip flops. Sunscreen, a hat, and a light layer for air-conditioned spaces. A headset to use with your phone.
Fitness Level
No prior yoga or fitness experience required. All movement sessions are accessible and adaptable to every body. We move with intention, not intensity. Modifications are always available and welcomed.
Solo Travelers
Roughly half of our guests arrive alone. The retreat is intentionally intimate — 14 people maximum — which makes genuine connection natural and easy. You will not feel like a stranger for long.
Dietary Accommodations
All meals are prepared from scratch by our personal chef using local Puerto Rican ingredients. We accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, and most dietary restrictions. Please note any needs during booking and we'll handle the rest.
