✨ Introduction to Independence Day of Mexico at Lunita Jungle Retreat
The Independence Day of Mexico is more than a national holiday—it’s a celebration of freedom, resilience, and identity.
At Lunita Jungle Retreat in Puerto Morelos, we honor this moment as a reminder that true independence is also a soul journey: to live without fear, without judgment, and in harmony with others. In the jungle, surrounded by the spirit of nature, we reconnect with this essential truth—freedom is both external and deeply internal.
🌿 What Is the Independence Day of Mexico?
Celebrated every 16th of September, marking Mexico’s declaration of independence from Spain in 1810.
Rooted in the Grito de Dolores by Miguel Hidalgo, calling for freedom and unity.
Today it is celebrated with parades, music, food, and communal gatherings that express cultural pride and collective joy.
This day reminds us of the importance of sovereignty—not only for nations but also for individuals seeking their own path of liberation.
🧭 Freedom as a Human and a Soul
In spiritual traditions, freedom is not only political—it is personal. To be free is to release the weight of fear, inherited trauma, and limiting beliefs.
Just as Mexico reclaimed its right to self-determination, each of us is invited to reclaim the truth of who we are: souls beyond separation.
At Lunita, independence is lived as:
Freedom of the heart: opening fully to love, compassion, and genuine connection with others.
Freedom of the mind: letting go of old stories, limiting beliefs, and inherited patterns that no longer serve.
Freedom of the spirit: remembering that we are more than roles, names, or titles—we are essence, light, and presence.
Freedom of the body: honoring its wisdom, releasing tension, and embracing practices that restore vitality and balance.
Freedom of expression: creating, dancing, speaking, and sharing without fear of judgment or comparison.
Freedom in community: living without separation, where every soul is welcomed equally and diversity is celebrated.
Freedom in nature: walking barefoot on the earth, swimming in cenotes, breathing the jungle air—allowing the natural world to restore our wholeness.
Freedom of purpose: aligning life with deeper meaning, knowing that every step can serve both self and collective evolution.
Freedom of joy: reclaiming playfulness, laughter, and gratitude as daily medicine.
💌 A Personal Gratitude from Nico and Lorenza
On this Independence Day of Mexico, we, Nico and Lorenza, co-creators of Lunita Jungle Retreat, wish to express our deepest gratitude.
Mexico welcomed us with open arms and offered the opportunity to create something deeply meaningful: a space where transformation, renewal, and freedom are possible. Lunita is not just a retreat center—it is the manifestation of a dream, born from love and nurtured by the fertile energy of the jungle.
Here, in this land of resilience and beauty, Nico’s vision to build a place of healing and connection found its home. Together with Lorenza, and the wider Lunita family, we honor Mexico for allowing this dream to flourish.
