The autumn equinox marks the moment when light and dark stand in perfect balance — and nature herself invites you to do the same.

Surrender to Remember is Casa Arkaana’s signature 7-day ayahuasca retreat, held in the heart of the Mexican jungle, 20 minutes from Tulum. Anchored to the autumn equinox (September 23), this is a sacred container designed for those who feel called to go deep, release what no longer serves, and remember who they truly are.

We hold the space with you. Maja and Asdru — the family behind Casa Arkaana — are your energetic hosts and on-the-ground support team from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. You are not a guest. You are held.

THE CONTAINER
– 3 ayahuasca ceremonies (Days 2, 3, and 5) with the final ceremony held on the autumn equinox
– Temazcal (traditional sweat lodge) for purification and preparation
– Flower baths for cleansing and opening
– Daily integration circles guided by your facilitator
– Yoga, breathwork, and meditation woven through each day
– Sound healing on arrival night, cacao ceremony on Day 6
– Full farm-to-table organic meals — no dinner on ceremony nights
– Private access to our cenote-fed pool and jungle grounds

WHAT IS INCLUDED
– 6 nights private accommodation in jungle casita or veranda room
– All meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks — dinner on non-ceremony nights)
– All ceremonies and healing modalities listed above
– Airport transfer from Cancún (optional)
– 24/7 host support from Maja and Asdru

THE SPACE
Casa Arkaana sits on a permaculture sanctuary deep in the Riviera Maya jungle. Our temple — confirmed by multiple facilitators as the finest ceremonial space in the region — holds up to 12 participants in intimate ceremony. Our cenote-fed pool, sacred garden, and open-air architecture make this one of the most grounded and alive retreat spaces in Mexico.

Maximum 8 guests. This is an intimate retreat by design.
