About this retreat

Deep in the jungle of Mexico, ten women will gather at the wild altar of their own becoming.

This is a retreat to wake up, to shed the weight of performing, pleasing, and playing small, and remember the fierce, tender, sacred woman who has been waiting underneath.

For 8 days, surrounded by ancient jungle, we will move our bodies in morning yoga, descend into the crystalline waters of sacred cenotes, feel the salt of the ocean on our skin, and stand in the presence of the Mayan ancestors who built their temples at the edge of the world.

We will sweat together in the darkness of the temazcal, be broken open in ceremony, and find in one another the kind of sisterhood that does not ask you to be palatable.

This is your wild altar.

Questions

When is The Wild Altar and how long is it?
The Wild Altar runs from November 13 to November 21, 2027: eight days and eight nights in the jungle of the Riviera Maya at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center near Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Eight days is longer than most retreats on the Lunita calendar, and the length is part of the design: mornings of yoga, descents into the crystalline waters of sacred cenotes, salt of the ocean on your skin, time in the presence of the Mayan temples, the darkness of the temazcal, and ceremony all need room to unfold without hurry. November on the Riviera Maya is dry, warm, and clear, right for a week lived between jungle, water, and stone.
What is The Wild Altar?
The Wild Altar is an eight-day women's retreat where, in its own words, women remember who they are. Deep in the jungle of Mexico, ten women gather at the wild altar of their own becoming: a retreat to wake up, to shed the weight of performing, pleasing, and playing small, and to remember the fierce, tender, sacred woman who has been waiting underneath. The week moves through morning yoga, sacred cenote swims, ocean time, a visit to the Mayan temples, sweating together in the darkness of the temazcal, and being broken open in ceremony, finding in one another the kind of sisterhood that does not ask you to be palatable. It is hosted at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center.
How many women join, and who is it for?
Ten. The group is kept small on purpose, so each woman is genuinely seen and the sisterhood is real rather than nominal. The Wild Altar is for women ready to wake up and shed the weight of performing, pleasing, and playing small, and to remember the fierce, tender, sacred woman underneath. If you have spent years being palatable, this container is built as the opposite: ceremony that breaks open, sisterhood that does not require performance, and a jungle that holds all of it. The intimacy of Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, a venue for twenty guests at most, means ten women have the whole sanctuary around them.
What is included in The Wild Altar?
The retreat includes eight nights of accommodation and meals at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, morning yoga through the week, sacred cenote swims in the crystalline waters near the center, ocean time on the Riviera Maya coast, a visit to the Mayan temples built at the edge of the world, the temazcal, and ceremony. The rhythm alternates movement, water, and ritual: the body moves in the mornings, the water and the stone carry the middle of the days, and the ceremonies hold the depth. The guides are Ankati Day and Dani Mulligan, and the full information also lives at ankatiday.com/wild-altar for reading before you reach out.
Where is The Wild Altar and how do I book?
The Wild Altar is held at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, Ruta de los Cenotes Km 17, Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico, in the Riviera Maya jungle about 40 minutes by road from Cancún International Airport, with time at the cenotes, the ocean, and the Mayan temples woven through the week.
