Introduction to Medicine Woman Retreats and Their Transformative Calling

All over the world, women are waking up. Some through grief. Others through illness, burnout, or heartbreak. And many simply through an inner whisper that says: “There’s more. There’s something sacred I must remember.”


Medicine woman retreats are born from this awakening. They are sacred containers where women remember their intuitive power, reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies, and reclaim their roles as healers, leaders, and keepers of the Earth.


At Lunita Jungle Retreat, nestled in the heart of the Mexican jungle, we hold space for these sacred journeys. This is a place where modern medicine women gather to sit in ceremony, walk barefoot on sacred ground, and open to the truth of who they really are.


This is not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been.


What Are Medicine Woman Retreats?

A medicine woman retreat is a journey of healing, remembrance, and reclamation. It is not just a wellness getaway—it is a sacred rite of passage. These retreats often include a blend of:


  • Ancestral ceremonies such as temazcal, cacao, fire circles, or sacred plant medicine

  • Energy work like Reiki, shamanic healing, or womb healing

  • Embodiment practices including dance, breathwork, and feminine movement

  • Connection to Earth through jungle immersion, ocean rituals, or sacred walks

  • Creative rituals like altar building, journaling, and intention setting

  • Sharing circles where women sit in truth, vulnerability, and support


Medicine woman retreats are not one-size-fits-all. Some are deeply ceremonial. Others focus on leadership, herbalism, or emotional healing. But at their core, they all invite the same thing: a return to feminine wisdom and intuitive healing.


Why Medicine Woman Retreats Are Rising Now

We are in the midst of a collective remembering—and the medicine woman is rising with it. Women are increasingly turning toward sacred spaces for healing, community, and reconnection. This is not a trend—it’s a global shift.


Here are a few revealing numbers:

  • 77% of women globally report feeling emotionally exhausted in the past two years (Deloitte’s 2023 Women @ Work study)

  • Searches for “feminine healing,” “divine feminine retreats,” and “medicine woman” have seen a 200% increase in the past year (Google Trends)

  • According to the Global Wellness Institute, women’s wellness tourism is growing faster than any other wellness sector

  • Nearly 8 in 10 women now express interest in retreats focused on emotional healing, ritual, and feminine embodiment


Why? Because something inside us knows. We know that healing cannot be separated from spirituality, that our bodies are wise, and that the time to remember our power is now.


Medicine woman retreats rise to meet this call. They offer a path that is ancestral and relevant, mystical and grounded, personal and collective.


At Lunita Jungle Retreat, we see this transformation every day. Women come to rest—and leave reignited.


What’s Included in a Medicine Woman Retreat at Lunita Jungle Retreat

Each retreat is lovingly curated to reflect the medicine of the facilitator and the intentions of the group. Whether it’s a private journey or a larger gathering, your medicine woman retreat may include:

  • Sacred ceremonies: temazcal, cacao, fire, or optional sacred medicine

  • Sound healing in the pool or open-air meditation area

  • Womb healing and energy work including Reiki, shamanic sessions, and Bio Tuning

  • Creative workshops and intuitive activations

  • Plant-based meals crafted with reverence—see our Service Menu

  • Integration support and guided silence

  • Accommodations in eco-cabanas, surrounded by the elements

  • Deep presence, community, and care


You’re not just joining a retreat. You’re entering sacred space that remembers you.


The Gifts of the Medicine Woman Path

The medicine woman path is a spiritual initiation—not marked by titles or institutions, but by truth, trust, and transformation. She may be called through pain, through dreams, through lineage, or through a sudden awakening. Her medicine may be song, silence, herbs, massage, movement, prayer, or presence.


Here are some of her deepest gifts:


Intuition as Guidance

She learns to listen without logic—to the body, to the Earth, to Spirit. She follows signs, symbols, and inner whispers. She trusts herself even when the world doesn’t understand her path.


Embodiment as Power

The medicine woman reclaims her body as sacred. She releases shame, fear, and dissociation. Through dance, breath, and rest, she becomes fully present—and from there, powerful.


Ceremony as Healing

She lives in rhythm with the Earth and cycles of the moon. She creates altars, lights fires, and speaks prayers. She knows that ritual is a bridge between the visible and invisible worlds.


Voice as Medicine

The medicine woman speaks from the womb, the bones, the ancestors. Her truth is not rehearsed—it is felt. She learns to say no, to say yes, to call in, call out, and call forth.


Sisterhood as Remembrance

She does not walk alone. She heals through mirrors, through community, through witnessing and being witnessed. She knows that when one woman heals, we all rise.

Corporate Retreats for Women-Led Brands and Healing Practitioners

More women than ever are leading from the heart—creating businesses that are ethical, intuitive, and purpose-driven. But leadership rooted in empathy can often come at a cost: burnout, overextension, and spiritual fatigue.


That’s why corporate medicine woman retreats are growing in popularity. These are not typical business retreats. They are sacred strategy circles.


At Lunita, we help women-led teams:

  • Reconnect with vision and purpose through ceremony

  • Align energy and mission through feminine embodiment practices

  • Strengthen team trust through honest sharing and sacred space

  • Release fatigue and reconnect to creative flow through movement and nature

  • Celebrate launches, milestones, or transitions in ceremony


We’ve supported herbal brands, coaching collectives, product launches, and soul-led organizations to come back to center. If your work is sacred, your company retreat should be too.
