At the end of October, the veil between worlds grows thin. Ancient traditions across cultures recognized this as a sacred threshold — a time when ancestors draw close, when the unseen becomes visible, and when the deepest truths rise to the surface.

Surrender to Remember is Casa Arkaana’s signature 7-day ayahuasca retreat, held in the heart of the Mexican jungle. Between the Worlds edition is timed to the cross-quarter between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice — the moment the ancients called Samhain, when the boundary between the living and the ancestral dissolves.

This is not a retreat for the curious. It is for those who feel the call — who are ready to release what no longer serves and remember what has always been true.

THE CONTAINER

Over 7 days in the sacred jungle of the Riviera Maya, you will be held in one of the most powerful ceremonial spaces in the region. The retreat includes:

• 3 ayahuasca ceremonies in our temple — one of the finest ceremonial spaces in Mexico, purpose-built for plant medicine work
• Temazcal (traditional sweat lodge) ceremony for ancestral connection and purification
• Flower baths for energetic clearing and opening
• Daily yoga and breathwork to prepare body and nervous system
• Sound healing and integration circles
• Cacao ceremony to open the heart

Everything is designed to support deep surrender — and genuine remembering.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

• 7 nights accommodation (choose Jungle Casita or Veranda Ensuite)
• All meals — organic, locally sourced, full-board (breakfast, lunch, dinner + snacks)
• 3 ayahuasca ceremonies with experienced facilitators

• Cacao ceremony
• On-site support from Maja & Asdru — your co-facilitation team

THE SPACE

Casa Arkaana is a boutique healing sanctuary nestled in the pristine jungle 20 minutes from Tulum. Fed by underground cenote water, surrounded by ancient trees, far from the noise of the tourist strip — this is a place where the jungle does much of the healing.

Our temple (ceremonial space) is widely considered one of the finest in the region. Spacious, energetically clear, purpose-built. Facilitators who have worked in ceremony spaces across the world consistently tell us: something here is different.

Capacity is intentionally limited to 12 participants to preserve the depth and intimacy of the container.
