Many Moons Retreat

Awaken with healing ways for women

January 17-23, 2027

Join Ajeet and a beautiful circle of friends and guides for this women-centered retreat in Mahahual, Mexico. Set beside the warm sea under a waxing moon, this is an invitation to slow down, reset, and return to yourself. Surrounded by color, tradition, and the wisdom of the land, you’ll be held in a space shaped by old ways of knowing and rituals passed from grandmother to mother to daughter. Together, we will study, reflect, rest deeply, and explore nourishing practices designed to support healing and reconnection.

This retreat offers a pause from the pace of everyday life for women, or anyone whose body moves with the cycles of the moon. It is a chance to step away from distraction and reconnect with the earth, your inner rhythms, and the cyclical nature of life.

Women's Wisdom: Our Shared Learning

Moon Wisdom - We align with the moon’s cycles and explore how lunar rhythms influence feminine cycles, creating greater harmony through attunement.

Womb Wisdom - Maria Akal leads a powerful womb ceremony blending traditional midwifery, somatic bodywork, and yoga to explore feminine lineage and the wisdom held in the womb.

Herbal Wisdom - Gabriela offers a transformative workshop on herbalism, approaching plants not only as a healing practice, but as a way of returning home to ourselves and the living world.

Body Wisdom - Yoga with Kunti centers fascia and the musculoskeletal system through gentle, meditative movement that helps release tension and begin each day in alignment.

Fire Wisdom - We gather around the fire to work with its power to generate, organize, and transform, releasing fear and pain while drawing strength and resilience from the flames.

Word Wisdom - Ajeet guides journaling practices that invite reflection on the power of our thoughts and the words we speak to ourselves.

The Wisdom of Song - Song will accompany much of the retreat, with Ajeet sharing music during morning yoga, daytime workshops, and evening gatherings on the rooftop or by the fire.

Health and Healing

This retreat creates space to turn inward, rest, and set new intentions. Many women carry stress, hormonal imbalance, or discomfort connected to the womb and inner systems. Ajeet brings a personal commitment to women’s health, shaped by more than 15 years living with endometriosis and four major operations. Her dedication to natural healing, rest, and listening to inner needs informs the spirit of this gathering.

Our Time Together

We arrive with the Snow Moon full and watch it begin to wane as our days unfold in devotion to the health of the feminine and the land, and the luminous connection between them. Expect a time of reconnection, learning, beauty, and shared solace in a circle devoted to healing for our bodies, our families, and our world.
