​​

The Invitation

​​​

Woman of Power and Great Heart.

​

You have moved mountains. You have birthed great dreams and visions. You have achieved success, built wealth, and overcome barriers your female ancestors never imagined possible.

​

Yet now, you feel the sea change beneath your feet. You feel the rumbling of Mother Earth awakening and reorganizing, and the quiet dissolution of outworn worldviews. Beneath the surface, your own outworn identities are faltering. Your priorities are shifting. Your idea of stability is changing as you contemplate what the future holds for yourself, your descendants, and the Earth herself.

 

The old stories cannot help you move forward. It is time to open to something entirely new—beyond what the rational mind can grasp.

 

Like the Great Goddess Inanna, who “set her ear to the Great Below,” you are hearing the call to listen to the voice of Soul. You may feel a deep longing to cultivate greater skillfulness in listening to your body and the earth. You may desire simplicity, a shedding of burdens that do not belong to you, and a renewed connection to the wellspring of love and wisdom within. You might sense the need to make an offering of your own overflow to serve the regeneration of our planet.

 

A Convergence of High Magic

 

We gather at a moment of extraordinary celestial alignment. On October 30, the Morning Star Venus newly rises in the sign of Libra, initiating a new 19-month cycle. This Libra World “Guidess” ignites the peacemaker within, dissolving patterns of separation and restoring the principle of plenty at the heart of Creation.

 

During our week together, this newly born Morning Star Venus will blaze at her brightest in the body of the Virgin Constellation. The Full Moon will ignite the Pleiades, and Mars will ignite Regulus, the Heart of the Lion. We gather just following Solar Zenith—the sacred timing near the equator when the sun sits directly at the top of the sky at noon.

 

This initiation takes place in the sacred lands of Ix Chel, the Mother of Creation in Mayan Cosmologies and the feminine symbol for the Age of Aquarius. Ix Chel is deeply personal to me; she guided me through a profound health crisis, death, and rebirth initiation, calling me to her lands in 2018.

 

It was here that Ix Chel and the Greek goddess Hygeia appeared to me as sisters, healing the split between my body and spirit. They sparked the vision for Sisters North and South—an allyship program for conscious entrepreneurs to lend resources and land to empower indigenous female leaders. These ancient deities kept the women’s mysteries alive—dream healing, star knowledge, lunar wisdom, and sacred plant bathing—practices that we, as Sisters of the Womb, still remember.

 

Our Sanctuary: Lunita

 

Our container is Lunita, a sanctuary in the Yucatec jungle tended with immense devotion by an Italian mother and son, Lorenza and Nico. Guided by dreams, they committed to building in perfect accordance with the spirit of the land.

 

Before cutting a single path, they brought in a local medicine person to establish a place of offering for the aluxes (land spirits). They pledged not to cut down a single tree, and have since planted thousands of native trees to heal the earth. Here, right relationship with the community and the spirits of the land is a living reality.

 

We invite you to join our circle of women to seed visions of regeneration for your body, your life, and the waters in your care. Welcome home.

 

The Arc of the Week

 

Inanna’s descent and return shapes our time together. We commit to one main journey a day—holding ceremony in the mornings, leaving afternoons open for integration, and keeping two evenings deliberately empty.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly is Lunita, and how do I get there?
Lunita Retreat Center is a hidden eco-sanctuary located in Puerto Morelos, along the Riviera Maya (about 40 minutes south of the Cancún International Airport). Staggered, private group airport shuttles are fully included in your tuition on both arrival and departure days.

What is the safety and climate like in the jungle in November?
November is one of the most beautiful times of year in the Yucatán—the intense summer heat breaks into breezy, comfortable tropical days and cool, clear starry nights. Lunita is an incredibly secure, privately enclosed, and family-tended oasis. We are isolated from the heavy tourist corridors, allowing for uninterrupted peace.

What if I have never done dream-work, movement, or star-mapping before?
Come exactly as you are. This container is intentionally designed for both seasoned ritualists and women who have spent their lives moving mountains in the corporate or physical world and are ready to slow down. Tami’s pre-arrival Venus Inanna Keys Reading will give you the foundational vocabulary you need so you can land with total confidence.

Can you explain the Global South pricing model?
In alignment with our collective focus on becoming a "Good Relative" and anchoring the vision of Sisters North and South, our tiered pricing bridges economic disparities. Women of wealth help subsidize the heavy operational infrastructure of the retreat, allowing us to keep entries accessible for grassroots female leaders from the Global South who hold the frontlines of land defense and community matriarchy.
