About Lunita · Our Approach
Safety, Integration,
and Sacred Intention.
Not a protocol. A practice. Seven years of refinement in the Mayan jungle.
How We Work
At Lunita Jungle Retreat, plant medicine ceremony is approached as a complete arc — not a single night, but a process with three essential components: preparation, ceremony, and integration. Before a guest arrives, they complete a preparation call with a facilitator, follow a dieta protocol, and undergo medication and health screening. During ceremony, a 4:1 guest-to-facilitator ratio ensures every person is specifically held by an experienced, trauma-informed guide throughout the night. After ceremony, Lunita provides structured integration support — on-site circles and check-ins during the retreat, and follow-up resources for the weeks beyond. This approach is what distinguishes a responsible plant medicine retreat from a psychedelic experience with a price tag.
The Four Pillars
Four things
everything is built around.
Preparation as part of the medicine.
The week before you arrive is not a waiting period — it is the beginning of the process. Every guest completes a preparation call with a facilitator, follows a dieta protocol, and undergoes medication and health screening before their spot is confirmed. What you do before ceremony shapes what becomes possible inside it.
A 4:1 ratio. Every ceremony.
During every plant medicine ceremony at Lunita, each facilitator is responsible for a maximum of four guests. That means from the moment the medicine is served until the ceremony closes, you have a specific person watching over you, available to you, and accountable for your wellbeing. No one moves through ceremony alone.
The land as active participant.
This isn’t a backdrop. The jungle, the cenote water, the solar power, the silence, the 5,000 planted trees — they all affect what happens here. Nature does something to the nervous system that no built environment can replicate. Retreats at Lunita are designed to use that.
Integration built in — not bolted on.
Integration — the process of understanding and embodying what arose during ceremony — is as important as the ceremony itself. Lunita includes structured integration sessions in every retreat program. On-site circles and check-ins during the retreat, and follow-up resources for the weeks beyond. What a guest does with their experience in the months after ceremony determines whether it changes their life or becomes a story they tell.
Safety Specifics
The details
that matter.
Come as you are.
Leave different.
If you come alone, with a partner, or with family — your retreat is built around your intentions. Nothing pre-written, nothing standardized. Your days unfold around what you need most. Personal Retreats →
Run your retreat.
Not the logistics.
Facilitators at Lunita don't manage transfers, meals, setup, or communication. They show up and hold space. Everything else is handled. Host at Lunita →
