WHY THIS RETREAT EXISTS

So many women carry a quiet knowing — a sense they are meant for more. More aliveness. More meaning. More authentic expression. Yet somewhere between the noise of daily life and the weight of who we’ve been told to be, that inner flame flickers.

Rise & Shine was created for the woman who is ready to stop dimming her light — and start letting it roar. This is the container where alchemy happens.

THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF…

  • ✦  You’re standing at the edge of a powerful life transition
  • ✦  You’re ready to discover and amplify your most authentic gifts
  • ✦  You crave deep healing alongside like-hearted souls
  • ✦  You feel the call to step onto your next highest timeline
  • ✦  You long for stillness, nature, and sacred space to breathe
  • ✦  You’re ready to shine your most brilliant, unapologetic light

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

FIRE  Temazcal Ceremony  —  Purification, rebirth & alchemy in sacred sweat lodge ritual

WATER  Sacred Cenote & Beach & Pool  —  Healing immersion in crystalline waters & the Caribbean sea

AIR  Breathwork Journeys & Sound Bath  —  Release, expand & access deep inner knowing while being bathed by sonic sound

EARTH  Daily Yoga & Meditation + Nourishing Meals  —  Rooted morning practice in the living heart of the jungle

A Rare & Potent Cosmic Threshold

Rise & Shine Retreat ✦ Sacred Accommodations

February 1 to 6, 2027 · Lunita Jungle Retreat · Puerto Morelos, Mexico

THE CASITAS OF LUNITA JUNGLE

Immersed in the quiet embrace of the jungle, our casitas are not simply rooms… they are sacred spaces designed to hold your journey. Each casita carries its own name, inspired by natural stones, holding a unique energy and identity. On the outer walls, hand-painted murals reflect this essence, with the dominant color of each mural reflecting the color of its stone—connecting each space to its own vibration and story.

Inside, the spaces are bright, simple, and deeply welcoming. A large window opens onto the jungle, inviting natural light and fresh air. Outside, a small private garden invites you to slow down—an intimate space to sit, breathe, write, or simply be.

Every casita includes: queen bed + twin bed · private bathroom · fan · premium linens · yoga mat, blocks & cushions · private garden

SHARED CASITAS — TWO GUESTS PER CASITA

One guest takes the queen bed, one takes the twin bed—each priced individually below.

Accommodation: shared casita $3,355 (twin) or $3,555 (queen) per person; private casita (solo) $4,111. Each casita is named for a crystal stone.

PRIVATE CASITAS — SOLO SANCTUARY

Your own sacred space—exclusively yours for the full retreat.

“You were never meant to flicker. You were born to be a flame.”

Questions

When does Rise and Shine take place?
Rise and Shine, a sacred women's retreat hosted by Melissa Saubers, runs from Monday, February 1 to Saturday, February 6, 2027 at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center in Puerto Morelos, Mexico: five nights, arriving at 2:00 p.m. and closing at 11:00 a.m. The dates are chosen with intention: the retreat arrives at the cusp of the Year of the Fire Horse and the Year of the Fire Goat, described in its invitation as a time of fierce power, creative alchemy, and graceful becoming. In the retreat's own words, there is no more perfect moment to burn bright, and early February in the jungle is dry, warm, and clear.
Who is Rise and Shine for?
Rise and Shine was created for the woman who is ready to stop dimming her light and start letting it roar. Its invitation names her precisely: you are standing at the edge of a powerful life transition, ready to discover and amplify your most authentic gifts, craving deep healing alongside like-hearted souls, feeling the call to step onto your next highest timeline, longing for stillness, nature, and sacred space to breathe. So many women carry a quiet knowing, a sense they are meant for more aliveness, meaning, and authentic expression, and this container at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center is built as the place where that alchemy happens, hosted by Melissa Saubers.
What will I experience at Rise and Shine?
The week moves through the elements. Fire: a Temazcal ceremony, purification and rebirth in the sacred sweat lodge ritual. Water: sacred cenote, beach, and pool immersions in crystalline waters and the Caribbean sea. Air: breathwork journeys and a sound bath to release, expand, and access deep inner knowing. Earth: daily yoga and meditation with nourishing meals, rooted morning practice in the living heart of the jungle. Ether: a sacred ceremony, a guided mushroom journey for soul-level insight and expansion; every medicine ceremony at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center begins with an honest intake, since some health conditions and medications mean it is not right or not safe. Soul: nightly integration circles of sisterhood and reflection.
What are the accommodations and prices?
Guests stay in the casitas of Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, each named for a natural stone with a hand-painted mural on its outer wall reflecting that stone's essence. Inside they are bright, simple, and deeply welcoming: queen bed plus twin bed, private bathroom, fan, premium linens, yoga mat with blocks and cushions, a large window onto the jungle, and a small private garden for sitting, breathing, or writing. Shared casitas host two guests, priced per person at $3,355 for the twin bed or $3,555 for the queen. A private casita, your own sacred space for the full retreat, is $4,111. Every option includes the full retreat program.
Where is the retreat held and how do I book?
Rise and Shine is held at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, Ruta de los Cenotes Km 17, Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico, about 40 minutes by road from Cancún International Airport, with airport transfers arranged with trusted local drivers once your place is confirmed.
