✨ Introduction about Lorenza's Birthday at Lunita Jungle Retreat

At Lunita Jungle Retreat, birthdays are honored not just as milestones, but as sacred reflections of the soul’s journey.


Today we celebrate Lorenza's birthday, one of the co-creators of Lunita Jungle. What follows is a text written directly by Lorenza, from her heart, as she shares her personal transformation during her first three years in Mexico.


Her words open a window into the deep connection she has cultivated with the jungle, with Lunita, and with the essence of life itself.


🌙 My First Three Years in Mexico – A Birthday Reflection

Three years ago, I arrived in Mexico with a rational, logical mind — skeptical of the invisible language of the soul. I searched for proof and certainty. But the jungle does not ask to be understood, it asks to be lived.


I came here to bring to life my son’s dream: Lunita. 🌙 Not just a retreat center, but a sanctuary where nature itself is temple and teacher, a place for transformation. Creating Lunita with him was not only an external project, but an inner journey. While we built Lunita, the jungle was shaping me.


Through Lunita I learned that sharing amplifies light, that beauty is the soul’s language, and that holding space for others opens space within ourselves.


From here began my home, Apapacho, which in Náhuatl means “to embrace with the soul.” It is more than a house — it is a daily gesture of life, reminding me I am never alone. Apapacho became both root and mirror: as I built it, I rebuilt myself.


Every day, my garden and its creatures became teachers. Trees bending to the wind taught resilience. Flowers opening to the sun and bowing to the rain showed the dance of adaptation. Animals sharing the space reminded me that life does not belong to us — we belong to life.


Step by step, I transformed. The rational Lorenza did not disappear; she dissolved into a greater wisdom that needs no proof, speaking through heart, intuition, and spirit.


I discovered that my home is not just a refuge, but a living temple:

🌿 every tree a grounding,

🌿 every flower an opening,

🌿 every silence a prayer.


And I feel that Lunita is not only a place we created for others, but a gift that transformed us too.


Today, as I celebrate my birthday, I feel this land has adopted me. I no longer simply live in Mexico — I breathe with it, dance with its rhythms, and let its ancestral strength transform me.


The Lorenza of yesterday and the Lorenza of today now walk together, as two aspects of the same truth, embraced as one.


🌙 The jungle, Apapacho, and Lunita have given me the greatest gift: knowing that life is not to be explained, but to be felt.


✨ Conclusion

Lorenza’s words remind us that transformation is not something we plan—it is something that happens when we allow life to shape us.


Her journey is woven into the soul of Lunita Jungle Retreat, where the jungle itself becomes a teacher and every corner invites renewal. This reflection, written directly from her heart, is a reminder that Lunita is not only a sanctuary for guests—it is also the sacred home that has transformed those who created it.


On this birthday, we honor Lorenza for her courage, wisdom, and light, and celebrate the way her path continues to inspire all who arrive at Lunita seeking freedom, healing, and connection.
