THE LAB

Apply as a
facilitator.

Most retreats start with a leader who has an audience. Lab retreats start the other way: with a concept worth existing, and then we go find the right hands to hold it. This page is where the right hands raise themselves.

If you carry a craft deeply, taught seriously, practiced for years, and you've never built the retreat machine around it, that's not a gap. That's exactly the shape the Lab was built for.

What the Lab brings.
What you bring.

The Lab brings the machine

The design process: structure, narrative arc of the week, the experiences that belong and the ones that don't. The property: eight cabanas, twenty guests at most, jungle on every side. The team that has delivered more than a hundred retreats. The audience and promotion reach. And the documentation afterward: photographs, materials, a case study of the retreat you led.

You bring the craft

The thing you'd teach if someone handled everything else. Depth matters more to us than follower counts; a Lab retreat sells on the strength of its concept and Lunita's reach, not on your audience.

What we don't publish: the terms. Every collaboration is shaped per project. The economics are part of the conversation, not a rate card.

A concept calls you.
Or you carry your own.

A concept calls you

Two are taking shape openly, one built around photography, one around tai chi, and three more sit in the workshop, undisclosed until they're real. If you read the Lab page and felt one of them was yours, say so below.

You carry your own

A retreat for artists in a creative drought. For mothers. For men who never learned to cry. If an idea won't leave you alone and what's missing is everything except the craft, bring it. That's the Lunita Originals door.

Name it plainly: yoga, breathwork, photography, cooking, movement, something else.

Website, Instagram, a video of you teaching. The work is the application.

Seasons or months you could realistically be in Mexico.

Before you apply.

Do I need retreat experience?
No. The absence of it is the point. The Lab exists because the world is full of deep practitioners who never built the operational machine. We built it once; it's reusable.
Do I need to bring an audience?
It helps any retreat, but it isn't the entry ticket. Lab retreats lean on the strength of the concept and Lunita's own reach and community. We're reading your craft, not your follower count.
What does it pay?
Honestly: it depends on the project: the concept, the format, who brings what. The terms are part of the first conversation, shaped per collaboration, and put in writing before anything is committed.

Where to go next.
