About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

We wholeheartedly invite you to join us for this sacred journey of healing, connection, and empowerment at Casa Arkaana, where the jungle and the spirit of the land hold space for your luminous spirit to shine.

Join us for an immersive retreat designed to deepen your connection to your heart and the healing powers of nature. Nestled in the enchanting Mayan jungle at Casa Arkaana, this unique experience will guide you through a journey of inner liberation, self-discovery, and transformation.

Throughout this six-day retreat, we will engage in a diverse array of ancient and contemporary healing practices. Our carefully curated itinerary integrates Indigenous Amazonian and Andean plant medicine ceremonies, traditional Native American Temazcal (Inipi), and powerful Earth-based and heart-centred energetic healing modalities. Each practice is woven together to create a safe container for your healing journey.

As we gather in circle, you will be held and supported through deep release and cleansing stages. Our time together will begin with an opening circle and the creation of an altar, setting our intentions for our sacred work. We will experience a Tobacco cleanse, a practice that helps clear energetic blockages and opens the mind, body, heart and spirit to healing.

Daily activities will include restorative yoga sessions that promote gentle movement and mindfulness, allowing us to align our entire being as we cultivate a deeper sense of presence and inner peace. Our Huachumo cenote exploration is an invitation to connect with the pristine spirit of nature… a walk through the Mayan jungle will lead us to a beautiful cenote. We will create a despacho, an offering to the Earth, as we give thanks and honour sacred reciprocity. Upon our return, we will rebirth in the Temazcal (sweat lodge) followed by a nurturing flower bath. We will also participate in a heart-opening Cacao ceremony infused with the medicine of the rose. This beautiful communal prayer that fosters deep connection will also be a space within which we will connect with our voices and our bodies. In addition to these transformative practices, we will dedicate time for reflection and integration. Sharing circles will provide a safe space to express and assimilate your experiences, while guided meditations will help explore and anchor your healing. Our Bach flower-making workshop will empower you with tools to support your well-being by making you own medicines in everyday life.

Free time is woven into our schedule, allowing you to relax, journal, or take a refreshing dip in the pool. Optional offerings include Myofascial Release Massage, Akashic Record readings, and Mapacho consultations, designed to enhance and deepen your experience should you wish to do so.

As we conclude our retreat, you will partake in a final retreat integration ceremony, offering gratitude to the Earth and solidifying the insights gained during our time in the jungle together. By the end of this journey, you will emerge with a renewed sense of self and community, a heart illuminated by the wisdom of the plants, and useful tools to carry this brightness into your everyday life.

We invite you to join us for this sacred journey of healing and empowerment at Casa Arkaana, where the jungle, the spirit of the land and your dedicated facilitators hold the nurturing space for your luminous spirit and your heart to radiate out into a brighter world.

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.
