What's Included

  • *4 nights of accommodation

  • *Hatha Flow Yoga (Friday and Sunday Morning):
  • Yoga is a holistic practice that is a powerful tool to help us align all of our bodies (mental, physical, energetic, emotional), bringing our awareness to our inner landscape and helping us cultivate a sense of presence, clarity and spaciousness in our lives. Through this consciously guided hatha flow practice we will catalyze the themes and energies cultivated throughout this journey together.
  • *Kundalini Yoga:
  • Through dynamic postures, breathwork, and meditation, we’ll activate the kundalini, which is the energy that flows from the base of the spine through all the chakras to the top of the head. As the energy rises, it unlocks channels of inspiration and innovation, encouraging a harmonious fusion of mind, body, and spirit. This workshop is a sacred space to explore and amplify the creative potential through the ancient wisdom of Kundalini Yoga.
  • *Sound Healing:
  • The aim is deep relaxation and healing. You will be bathed in meditative sounds, ancient melodies and medicine songs from different cultures and traditions while receiving energy work and aromatherapy.
  • *Sana Danza:
  • In this immersive workshop, we will explore the profound connection between body movement, the language of the soul and the mirror of human connection. You will tap into the wisdom of your own body, stepping into the rhythm of your soul to blend into the healing energies of creation.
  • *Comunal Altar:
  • We’ll dive into the elements of altars, learning how to make them,you will explore creative ways to form your own sacred space which you can implement in your daily life. Altars are spaces of and for contemplation, ritual, prayers, reflection, gratitude or any form of inner work; A place where the dimension of the spirit merges with the physical dimension.
  • *Temazcal:
  • The temazcal, described as the "womb of the earth,” It is a sacred space where we undergo a powerful and transformative process.
  • This serves as a rite of passage, in a profound means of healing and personal growth. It is a process of renewal and purification that mirrors the cycle of life, death and rebirth, emphasizing our connection to the earth and our relations.
  • *Cenote Cave excursión :
  • As we journey deep into the heart of the Mayan underworld, an ancient realm steeped in mysticism, we’ll explore not only the enigmatic depths of the physical cave but also the uncharted territories of our own inner world.
  • *Shadow Meditation:
  • In the shadow meditation we’ll explore the mystical realm beneath the surface of consciousness. Surrounded by the ancient energy of the underworld, we’ll delve into the shadows of the psyche, seeking self-discovery and understanding; embracing both the darkness and the transformative potential that lies within.
  • *Cenote Water Blessing:
  • The element of water is the source of all life. Through reconnecting with the reverence for this life-giving element we can open ourselves to receive the wisdom and healing power that the water holds; cleansing our mind, body and spirit. Cenotes are sacred waters in the Mayan cosmovision… They are considered portals to the infraworld where priests would go to receive and channel information from source that would serve as guidance for society.
  • *Cultivating Safe Space (Workshop)
  • A safe space is more than a physical location; it's an emotional and psychological environment where we feel secure, respected, and free to express ourselves authentically. It's a container that encourages vulnerability without fear of judgment, creating a supportive atmosphere for personal and spiritual exploration.
  • In this workshop we will explore how to generate and cultivate a sense of safety in our energy field which can serve as an unshakable refuge which we can always return to using some of the tools and methods that we will discover.
  • *Cacao & Blue Lotus Ceremony with ecstatic dance:
  • A powerful time for connecting to our heart-space and our joy through the sacred and ancient medicines of Cacao and Blue Lotus. We will journey inward through ritual, conscious song and will further raise the vibration through embodied movement and ecstatic dance.
  • *Creative Expression:
  • A unique experience where creativity, group unity, and self-expression converge. You’ll discover new facets of your creativity exploring self-expression as a powerful tool for personal and collective growth. Unleash your imagination and synergise with others on this journey of creativity and self-discovery.
  • *Flowing in unity, a water ritual:
  • In the water ritual of flowing in harmony, we’ll immerse ourselves in a serene environment, embracing the gentle current of the ocean as a symbol of life's continuous journey. Through group dynamics with fluid movements and a mindful engagement with water, the ritual encourages a sense of unity with the natural flow, fostering inner peace, surrender and balance.
  • *Shamanic Journey:
  • A transformative experience that transcends the ordinary. Guided by ancient wisdom, delve into the realms of the unseen to meet your spirit animal.
  • *Sound Activation:
  • Music is a food for the soul unlike any other. It informs and enlightens us from within through resonance. Harmonies weaving and spreading within us touch hard-to-reach territories... those that are unreachable by other means of soul-searching.
  • Our goal here is to be in the process of making the music... the expression of our own music, voicing and forming our own sound.

What's Not Included

A wonderful place to learn and heal
This location is amazing. The thought and care put into this program by the owners and facilitators are top notch. Connection with the land, the food and its caretakers was just what I needed to refind my center. Forever in gratitude!

Amazing retreat and jungle getaway
I had such an incredible experience at Casa Arkaana. I was looking to get back in touch with myself, open up, and heal. And I was able to do all of that and more gained a new family in the process. Asdru, Maya, and Marco were so amazing and planned the retreat with such care and intentionality. It was such a beautiful experience and one that I’m so glad I made the decision to go to. Not only did we try a variety of healing medicines, but also integrated jungle walks, cenotes, yoga, breath work, and amazing healthy and delicious meals. Just a great container for healing.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when going to Casa Arkaana for their Ancestral Spirits retreat, and had reached out over email and then talked on the phone with them to be comfortable making the decision to go given the lack of reviews. Asdru, who lives on the property with his wife Maya and daughter, was so kind and comforting over the phone, and talked with me for over an hour answering all my questions.

Once I arrived the veranda room was clean and nice accommodation, and they’ve built a beautiful common space to hang with the other guests during the retreat. Also anything I needed they were quick to provide and so helpful throughout.

If you’re looking for a retreat where the hosts truly care and want to build a personal connection with them, this is the right one for you.

10/10 would do many times again! If you have a calling to do it, don’t think too much, just do it! You’re in great hands with Casa Arkaana.

First Time
I can say everything is structured better than I imagined from my perspective. Everyone I met there are from different walks of life and we were all there to intake the medicine and work through whatever it was the medicine was bringing to the surface. Asdrubal and Maja were very informative on any questions I had, since this was my first dieta and first time with mama ayahuasca. Its a very safe location as well so there was no need to ever worry during my stay. The location is in the jungle as well so I had the opportunity to reconnect with nature as well as reset my circadian rhythm. Its been about 3 weeks since I was there last and I receive downloads still from the medicine, yet anything I need help understanding I know I can reach out to Asdrubal and Maja since we stayed in contact with each other. There were times where I was stuck processing what I had experienced in the ceremonies the night before and Maja would come up to me and ask me about it afterwards so we could decipher what some of the messages meant and that was very helpful in getting me out of my own head and realizing how to take action on the message. I never had to worry about my eating while I was there as they had already taken out what would've been counterintuitive for the medicine or the master plants that we were introduced to. I worked through a lot while I was there and its definitely been for the better; I am looking forward to going back again and I would definitely recommend Casa Arkaana to anyone from seasoned drinkers to new drinkers. Drinkers of mama ayahuasca of course. Everyone there except for another dietera was experienced and they explained the comparisons of other retreats with Casa Arkaana and I can confidently say I made the right decision.
