✦ Sacred ✦ Transformational ✦ Alchemical ✦ Illuminating ✦
Join Melissa Saubers for five transformative nights deep in the living jungle of Puerto Morelos, Mexico at the breathtaking Lunita Jungle Retreat — February 1–6, 2027. Rise & Shine is a sacred, immersive women's retreat woven around the elements of fire, water, air, earth, and ether, arriving at the rare cosmic threshold of the Year of the Fire Horse and the Year of the Fire Goat. Every experience — the purifying fire of Temazcal ceremony, the healing waters of a sacred cenote, breathwork, yoga and meditation, sound bath healing, and nightly integration circles — is intentionally woven together to prepare you, body and soul, for the luminous heart of the retreat: a guided sacred mushroom ceremony that will take you to the deepest layers of your being, illuminating what is ready to be seen, released, and transformed. You will emerge renewed, expanded, and stepping fully and unapologetically into your most radiant, authentic self — surrounded by like-hearted women, held in sacred sisterhood, and forever changed.
It's Time — To Rise and Shine.
WHY THIS RETREAT EXISTS
You Were Never Meant to Flicker.
You were meant to Shine.
So many women carry a quiet knowing — a sense that they are meant for more. More aliveness. More meaning. More authentic expression. Yet somewhere between the noise of daily life and the weight of who we've been told to be, that inner flame flickers.
Rise & Shine was created for the woman who is ready to stop dimming her light — and start letting it roar. This is the container where alchemy happens.
Deep in the living jungle of Puerto Morelos, beneath canopies of ancient trees and star-soaked skies, this six-day immersive retreat will awaken the fire within you — to burn away what no longer serves, alchemize your deepest wounds into wisdom, and step fully and unapologetically into your most luminous self.

A RARE COSMIC THRESHOLD
The Year of Fire
This retreat arrives at a rare and potent cosmic threshold — the cusp of the Year of the Fire Horse and the Year of the Fire Goat. A time of fierce power, creative alchemy, and graceful becoming. The element of fire runs through everything: transformation, passion, courage, and the burning away of all that no longer serves your highest self.
There is no more perfect moment to burn bright.
