✨ Return Home To Self ✨
7 Days of Reconnection & Awakening in the Sacred Mayan Jungle
Guided Journeys · Healing & Soul Activations · Ceremonies · Yoga · Meditation · Divine Play
February 21st – 28th, 2026 · Near Tulum, Mexico
This is not just a retreat.
It’s a deep, transformative circle of Sacred Activations and Guided Inner Journeys. A space of Healing, Awakening, and Reconnection with your true Self, Nature, and your Soul Family.
At its heart, this retreat is an invitation to come home to the awareness, love, and joy that have always been within you.
Time moves differently in the Mayan jungle, where we will gather in a beautiful, ecological space fully immersed in nature.
Simply being there, free from all interference, is a healing experience in itself. Becoming One with this pristine nature opens a doorway to Divine Wholeness and Inner Guidance.
Each day, you’re invited to go deeper…
As we gather in circle, you open to the radiant light of your being through movement and meditation, sacred activations, guided journeys, soul integration, connection with your soul family and spirit team.
Alongside ample time for rest, relaxation, and reflection, you will also be guided into creative and intuitive expression in nature.
Our evenings are dedicated to powerful ceremonies, including Sound Healing, Clay Bath, Cacao Rite, Mayan Temazcal, Fire Circle, and more.
This is a sacred space to ignite your inner fire, release what no longer serves, receive clear guidance, and awaken to the truth of who you are.
Come Home. To Love and Presence. To Your Self and Inner Peace. To the Divine Mysteries. To the Remembrance of Who You Are. We Are One.
Our circle holds space for 18 beautiful souls. Will you be one of them?

Maja is trained as a doula, in ethnobotany, biodecodification, and somatic healing. She is deeply immersed in Earth-based traditions and Ancestral Wisdom, learning from plants and elders through ancient cosmovisions and healing arts.

Our Retreat Venue
Our eco-conscious retreat space, “Casa Arkaana,” built with love and natural materials in the jungle, is only a few miles away from the beaches of the Riviera Maya.
However, when you stay there, it feels like you’re in your own world, away from everything, and fully immersed in nature.
The owners, Maja and Asdrubal, have poured their hearts into building this incredible space over the last five years.
Casa Arkaana is not connected to the electricity grid, and there is no cellphone reception. No interference of any kind. Yet, it is fully solar-powered and offers high-speed Starlink internet throughout the space.
At its heart lies the Maloka, a circular temple inspired by ancestral traditions, perfect for all our circles and ceremonies. Amazing quartz crystals are embedded in the temple floor and around its walls.
The main house offers spacious bedrooms, a communal kitchen, a chill-out area, and a large veranda. A wonderful pool shimmers in the sunlight only steps away, inviting you to float, cleanse, and reconnect.
Additional accommodation options include the jungle casitas and glamping tents, which are designed for privacy and tranquility.
Each room has been thoughtfully designed for optimal natural airflow and cooling, ensuring comfort while staying in harmony with the jungle environment.
All structures are built using sustainable, locally sourced materials, including upcycled wood, regional limestone, and palm-thatched roofing.
The food is a journey of healing in itself. The meals are nutrient-rich and carefully crafted with love from the organic gardens, whenever possible. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs can be accommodated.
Every detail reflects a commitment to love, joy, connection, permaculture and eco-conscious living.
Casa Arkaana is more than a retreat venue.
It’s a living ecosystem designed for healing, reconnection, and renewal, which we’ll have the privilege to become one with for one week.
