🌿A Fully Custom Journey of Renewal in the Riviera Maya
The New Year is more than a date on the calendar. It is a sacred transition — a space between chapters where reflection deepens, intuition strengthens, and the heart becomes more available to truth. For many, this moment arrives with pressure: resolutions, goals, expectations, and comparisons. Yet the most profound new beginnings rarely come from force. They come from presence.
A Personalized New Year Retreat for Individuals, Couples & Families at Lunita Jungle Retreat offers something radically different: a beginning rooted in clarity, rest, emotional attunement, and authentic connection. In the quiet of the Riviera Maya jungle, the body unwinds, the mind softens, and the deeper self begins to speak again.
Whether you come alone, with a partner, or with your family, your retreat is shaped entirely around your intentions for the year ahead. Nothing is pre-designed, nothing is rigid, and nothing forces you into a pace that doesn’t belong to you. This is your new beginning — created with care, intuition, and alignment.

🌱Why a Personalized New Year Retreat for Individuals, Couples and Families are More Transformative Than a Traditional Vacation
Most people start their year with lists, goals, and plans. But a true reset doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from listening more deeply. The jungle creates the conditions for this listening: warm air, birdsong, spacious skies, silence at night, and a rhythm that invites you to breathe again.
A personalized retreat at Lunita allows you to begin your year:
• With emotional clarity
• With nervous system rest
• With renewed purpose
• With deeper connection
• With simplicity and honesty
• With spaciousness instead of pressure
Instead of forcing a new identity, you meet the version of yourself that has been waiting beneath the noise.
🌿 Three Personalized Paths for Individuals, Couples & Families
Every retreat is co-created with you. These three pathways help guests imagine what their New Year reset can look like — but your experience will be uniquely shaped around your intention, energy, and timing.
✨ 1. The Custom New Year Transformation (Co-Created With You)
This pathway is ideal for those who feel life shifting beneath their feet — endings, beginnings, transitions, questions, emotional cycles, or an inner call for renewal.
Your retreat is designed through a heartfelt clarity conversation, where you share what feels alive. Together, we create a personalized flow that may include:
• Temazcal (Mayan sweat lodge)
• Somatic release and breathwork
• Energy alignment or Reiki
• Sound healing or vibrational therapy
• Cacao ceremony
• Meditation and reflection rituals
• Integration sessions
• Sacred medicine (if aligned and requested)
This journey honors your complexity — your past, your present, and the chapter unfolding.

🌿 How Personalization Works at Lunita: The Art of Co-Creating Your Retreat
Lunita’s greatest strength is flexibility. No two retreats have ever been the same. The process unfolds through four simple steps:
🪶 1. Intention Exploration
Before designing your retreat, we listen deeply.
What are you releasing?
What are you calling in?
What do you need emotionally, physically, spiritually?
Your truth becomes the architecture.
🧭 2. Choosing a Rhythm
Some people want structure. Others want flow. Some want both.
You can begin slow and deepen.
Or begin deep and soften.
The rhythm is yours.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a personalized New Year retreat last?
Most guests choose 4–6 nights to allow the body to decompress, the mind to settle, and the heart to open to new intentions. However, Lunita offers fully custom durations — from 2-night resets to extended transformational stays. The ideal length depends on your goals, emotional readiness, and the depth of transformation you seek.
Do I need prior experience with yoga or wellness practices?
No experience is required. Lunita’s team guides beginners with patience and adapts every session to your comfort level. Whether you’re new to meditation, somatic work, ceremony, or healing practices, you’ll be supported gently. Guests often arrive nervous or unsure and quickly find themselves feeling safe, welcomed, and deeply at ease.
What can couples expect during a personalized retreat?
Couples experience a supportive space for reconnection, intimacy, and communication. A personalized retreat may include partner yoga, relational rituals, shared breathwork, sound healing, meaningful conversations, or nature immersion. The pace is gentle, the guidance is respectful, and the intention is to help you begin the year aligned, attuned, and open-hearted.
Can families really benefit from a New Year retreat?
Absolutely. Families often discover new ways of relating through play, presence, mindfulness, and time in nature. Sessions can be tailored for all ages, including creative workshops, cenote swims, family yoga, intention-setting, and gentle bonding practices. These moments create lasting memories and strengthen emotional harmony for the year ahead.
Are sacred medicine ceremonies offered during personalized retreats?
They are available upon request and always include preparation and integration guidance. Sacred mushroom ceremonies are offered in reverence and only when aligned with a guest’s emotional readiness.
