With Ankati Day & Dani Mulligan

Deep in the jungle of Mexico, ten women will gather at the wild altar of their own becoming.

This is a retreat to wake up, to shed the weight of performing, pleasing, and playing small, and remember the fierce, tender, sacred woman who has been waiting underneath. For 8 days, surrounded by ancient jungle, we will move our bodies in morning yoga, descend into the crystalline waters of sacred cenotes, feel the salt of the ocean on our skin, and stand in the presence of the Mayan ancestors who built their temples at the edge of the world.

We will sweat together in the darkness of the temazcal, be broken open in ceremony, and find in one another the kind of sisterhood that does not ask you to be palatable.

This is your wild altar.

About Lunita, Our Retreat Center

We're headed to Lunita, an intimate jungle retreat center just outside Puerto Morelos, forty minutes from Cancún and a world away from it. Eighty thousand square meters of untouched jungle wrap around us, not a single tree cut to build this place. Only twenty guests at a time, so this is not a resort, it's a homecoming.

There's a cenote-fed pool. An open-air yoga shala with jungle on every side. A temazcal for sweating out what we came here to release. Two dogs, Sol and Luna, who wandered out of the trees years ago and never left. The kind of quiet that makes room for what you actually came to remember.

This is where we'll gather. Where the mornings belong to the birds before they belong to us, and where the work of coming home to yourself finally has the space it deserves.

All accommodation packages include airport transfer to and from Cancun, meals, coffee and tea, daily classes, workshops, and excursions.

• Private Room : $3,500 per person (4 available)

How to get to Lunita…

You'll fly into Cancún International Airport. Lunita is about 40 minutes south, on the coast road toward Puerto Morelos, so there's no boat crossing or multi-hour transfer, just a short, easy ride from the tarmac into the jungle. We'll coordinate group airport pickup timing. Please don't book your return flight before 1pm on the last day, as we'll conclude after breakfast, with departures to the airport beginning around 10am if needed. If you'd like to extend your stay in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, or Tulum, I'm happy to share recommendations.

November on the Riviera Maya is warm, lush, and a little more textured than the dry-season months. Expect highs around 82F during the day and lows in the low-to-mid 70s at night, with occasional afternoon showers, brief, warm, and often followed by clear skies again within the hour. This is the greenest the jungle gets, so prepare to fully immerse in the jungle paths.

You're welcome to bring a yoga mat or use one from the Center. Please bring a bathing suit for the cenote and the Caribbean, and a light cotton dress or sarong for the Temazcal ceremony.

WHERE WE’RE GOING

This corner of the Yucatán Peninsula holds a different kind of time. The jungle here is not backdrop, it is presence. Beneath the limestone floor runs a hidden river system, an underground network of cenotes that the ancient Maya believed were doorways into Xibalba, the underworld, and into the sacred itself. You feel that memory the moment you step off the road and into the trees.

Puerto Morelos sits quietly between Cancún and Playa del Carmen, close enough to reach easily, far enough to still breathe. Just offshore, the Mesoamerican Reef, the second largest coral reef system on Earth, protects a coastline of mangroves and turquoise water. Inland, the selva is thick with strangler figs, wild ceiba trees (sacred to the Maya as the axis connecting earth, sky, and underworld), and the calls of birds you will not see but will not stop hearing.

This land carries Maya lineage in its bones. The rituals still practiced here, temazcal, cacao ceremony, offerings to the four directions, are not imports. They are inheritance. To spend time in this jungle is to be held by an ecosystem and a culture that have never separated the sacred from the everyday, where the forest, the water beneath it, and the people who tend it are understood as one continuous, breathing relationship.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Your booking will cover you from start to finish. You’ll receive three beautiful meals per day plus coffee and tea. All daily yoga classes, excursions, and workshops are included.

Private healing sessions can be booked for an extra cost.
