Question 1

When does the Uprise Retreat take place?

Accepted Answer

Uprise Retreat: Jungle Immersion + Movement Medicine runs from January 21 to January 26, 2027 at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center near Puerto Morelos, Mexico: five nights, arriving at 2:00 p.m. and closing at 11:00 a.m. on the final morning. Late January on the Riviera Maya is warm and dry, made for a week lived mostly outdoors, and the retreat is framed as an invitation to unplug from the predictable rhythms of daily life and reconnect to what makes us fundamentally human. Sleep comes deeply here, surrounded by the noises of the jungle and distanced from technology, which is part of the design rather than a side effect.

Question 2

What is the Uprise Retreat about?

Accepted Answer

Uprise is built on three values named plainly in its invitation: joy, humanity, and feeling vibrantly alive. In a world where our human-ness is being challenged on every level, the retreat calls choosing nature an act of rebellion, and choosing joy rebellious too. Surrounded by lush jungle, warm ocean air, and the grounding energy of the earth, the group immerses in daily movement practices designed to awaken, strengthen, and restore, practicing what it is to live in reciprocity, resilience, and compassion. Every experience is thoughtfully curated with those values in mind, and the container is Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, an intimate venue held inside preserved jungle on the Ruta de los Cenotes.

Question 3

What experiences are included during the week?

Accepted Answer

The week centres on daily movement practices designed to awaken, strengthen, and restore, supported by nutritious and intentionally prepared meals. The group swims in a private cenote near Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, takes part in a welcoming ceremony with a traditional Mexican shaman, and shares meaningful conversations alongside structured, sacred rest. Technology stays at a distance so the jungle can be heard, and nights end surrounded by its sounds. The rhythm alternates effort and restoration on purpose: movement to wake the body, rest that is treated as sacred rather than leftover time, and conversation that gives the week its human warmth.

Question 4

Where is the retreat held and how do I get there?
