Nestled deep within the pristine Mayan jungle, our Journey of Awakening Retreat invites you on a transformative 6-day journey. We will walk alongside the elements – Fire, Water, Air, and Earth – while harnessing the wisdom of sacred medicines. These ancient practices will guide us to reconnect with our inner selves, providing a compass to navigate these times of perpetual change.

During this immersive experience, we will venture into the depths of our inner landscape, embracing its contrasts. Here, we will observe, forgive, and release that which no longer serves us.

Our journey will include a jungle exploration, leading us to a hidden cenote, where we will be guided by our grandfather, San Pedro (Huachuma). In this sacred space, our hearts will open, and clarity will illuminate our path. Following this, we will enter a temazcal (sweat lodge) to release and transmute deep-seated emotions.

As we connect with Mother Earth, we will participate in a sharing circle, where authentic expression will flow. The medicine of Mambe will support our heart-centered communication as we create a seed and flower mandala, which will serve as our sacred altar throughout the retreat.

With profound gratitude, we will enter into sacred ceremony with the grandmother, Aya. This powerful medicine will facilitate healing and self-awareness, allowing us to transform patterns that no longer align with our highest selves.

Breathwork and sound healing will be integral components of our journey, harmonizing our beings. We will also visit cenotes and the Caribbean beach to enhance the integration of our experiences into our daily lives.
