Getting the word out is its own discipline. Marketing doesn't always come naturally to those whose gift is holding space — and even when it does, filling a retreat takes more than a beautiful post.
The logistics multiply quickly. Airport transfers, cenote visits, beach days, local excursions — coordinating the journey of a group in an unfamiliar country is a full-time job on top of the full-time job you already have.
Many venues are set up for volume. Communication travels through coordinators. Requests meet templated responses. There's little room for nuance, and even less for the kind of direct conversation that actually solves things.
When everything runs through management, something human gets lost. The relationship that was supposed to feel like a partnership starts to feel like a transaction.
By the time your participants land, you've already been running for weeks. The retreat hasn't started — and you're already at your edge.
That's why we built something different.
We're not just your hosts — we're facilitators ourselves. We've sat on both sides of this: the marketing, the planning calls, the logistics, the 2am messages, the moments that test everyone in the group including you. Four years, forty retreats. We know what it takes because we've lived it.
One group at a time. Five acres of jungle, every ceremony space, every room — entirely yours.
Before the first stone was placed, we built a small house for the Aluxes — the guardians of this jungle in Mayan tradition — and asked their permission. What stands here now stands on that agreement.
Five acres of living land: cenote water rising from deep below, spider monkeys in the canopy, bats at dusk, birds and insects whose sounds don't stop when the ceremony does. The pool, the temazcal, the temple, the fire circle — each one placed where the land said to place it. Every footstep leaves a mark. We've tried to make each one worthy.
Explore all spacesMany powerful retreats are built in layers — your core work at the centre, supported by practices that deepen, open, or close what you're holding. We've built relationships with trusted local practitioners so you don't have to.

Retreats have become an industry. And with that came a price that quietly excludes most people. Over the years we've sat with teachers — Shipibo curanderos, Red Path elders — who spend their lives in deep service. They live simply. They do what they do because it's their vocation, not their livelihood. We don't carry their lineage. But we carry their inspiration.
We price Casa Arkaana to sustain the land, the team, and the work — and toward something larger. To support the communities around us. To share what we've learned about living sustainably. To one day be a place where people pass through, learn something real, and take it home. None of that is possible without a fair exchange. That's what your investment here makes possible.

"I have visited Casa Arkaana many times, facilitating three women's shamanic retreats here. Each time I visit, the centre evolves and I always feel at home — held by the jungle, the nature and the land that welcomes you with open arms. The energy of the Temple is especially powerful."
"The beauty of this secluded area is that we really got to drop into the heart space of the jungle which allowed us to drop into our own heart spaces. The energy of the land they are located on is powerful, sacred and healing."
"Casa Arkaana is one of my favourite retreat centres of all time. You can feel the love and attention to detail, including preserving the land and ancestral ways. Thank you to this beautiful family & their creation."
"Asdru and Maja are great hosts. From the moment we got there, we are taken care of. Attention to detail, clean rooms, delicious food and fantastic staff. Casa Arkaana delivered peace and tranquility for our retreat."
"Asdru and Maja are just so loving and you can see, feel all the love they have put into the space. They are invested in supporting the guests in the best way they can..."
