If you're someone who wants to honour your lineage, transform your relationship with grief and death, and connect with your ancestral gifts more than your ancestral trauma through ceremony, altar building, earth offerings, plant medicine, and somatic embodiment, then join us for this 4-day retreat where you’ll come away emanating love, spaciousness, and deeply reconnected to the power and wisdom within you and your lineage.
A sacred space to honor our ancestry
Honoring our ancestry in this retreat means to acknowledge our lineage, to grieve the ones who have left this earth, offer gratitude, express what hasn't been expressed and the freedom to release agreements that we made as part of our lineage that are keeping us stuck in a space of survival and fear.
Our ancestors didn't live for us to be a state of survival and fear , but the stories and inter-generational trauma passed on to us don't know that. This is where the power of ritual comes in to our subconscious to tell a different story where we can honour the lives of our ancestors and our sovereign life path can be embraced by their support.
Embracing the Portal
At the end of October in Mexico, a portal opens. For millennia, through culture, tradition and ritual, Mexicans have been honoring their deceased families , opening a portal for the worlds to meet.
We are inviting you to join, learning about this tradition, honour it and with a lot of reverence, make an offering to the ones that have walk before you. Flowers, candles, smoke, food, tears, laughter - all is welcome as we honor the ones that made it possible for us to be in the world.
What awaits you in this 4 day experience:
The intention behind this gathering
Right now the collective, the earth and all that is happening globally is asking us to release what is no longer serving us and to return to the earth what has always belong to her. Life is asking you to remember that we are connected and that your grief is our grief, your pain is our pain and your gratitude is our gratitude.
This is the time where you remember that you are fully supported by the Elements and all the love of nature to release and honour everything and everyone that has brought you to this moment. And then, take your power back - not from a place of anger and fear, but from a place of deep understanding, forgiveness and safety.
In these 4 days together we will awaken to the magic that is always meant to be for you, your true heritage, releasing old agreements and writing new ones, not just as story but as a somatic experience wired in the present moment.
Through the pure wildness of the jungle, you connect with your innate wildness. When you let the wildness of nature express through you, your service naturally will be more full, your relationships will be richer and your creative channel opens.
We won’t teach you to fix or change
yourself. We’ll invite you to feel, soften, and reclaim what’s already yours.
This experience is designed to restore your nervous system, awaken your inner fire, and remember the wellspring of wisdom inside you.
The sanctuary
Usually story tales begin with: Once upon a time...
This is the meaning of Haliksai in Hopi.
Haliksai is a sanctuary in the jungle of Nayarit, built with the intention of being a place for healing and connection.
The beauty of the space was built in harmony with the local elements. The care and love put in every centimeter of this land, makes the perfect place for this retreat to unfold.
Haliksai offers a community kitchen, a yoga shala, two beautiful bungalows and two glamping tents where you get to breath with nature, co-regulate with her and ignite a deeper remembering of our ancestry that goes beyond any narrative or stories we tell ourselves.
Haliksai reminds us that our story matter AND we can always rewrite a new one... We just need to make peace with the old one to release it with gratitude.
This is an opportunity to connect with the earth, with each other and with ourselves and bring a new meaning to the word family.

Nura
Ceremonialist, embodiment guide, medicine journey faciltator
My path is rooted in devotion to the feminine wisdom of the body, and the land. I create spaces for soul remembrance, and the return of beauty, truth, and soul to everyday life.
In 2013, I began a pilgrimage with one burning question: What else is possible in this life? That question carried me across remote wildernesses, sacred sites, ancient cultures, and into the elemental presence of the Earth herself. What unfolded was not only a world-wide journey, but a profound remembering of my spiritual gifts, ancestral inheritance, and the way I am meant to serve.
My work is deeply informed by the healing traditions of my Lebanese lineage, passed down through my parents - herbal medicine, energetic cleansing, dream interpretation, and the ancient art of reading symbols in the grounds of morning coffee. It has also been shaped by more than a decade of apprenticeship across Earth-honoring traditions, plant medicine paths, and embodied spiritual practice.
Death and grief have been of my greatest teachers, and allowing myself to be molded by grief has been the greatest pathway I know yet to becoming more shamelessly human and embodying this life on earth with grace.
I am a lifelong student of sound, movement, mysticism, and ritual, guided by the quiet intelligence of the Earth and the timeless rhythms of the feminine.
I offer a grounded space to reconnect with the magic within your lineage, honour your ancestors, and be held with warmth, presence, and deep care.

Mar
Psychedelic Facilitator, end of life doula
I was born in Mexico City and have lived in San Pancho for the past ten years, where the jungle, ocean, and community have deeply shaped my way of living, loving, and listening.
For the last eight years, I have accompanied people through some of life's most meaningful thresholds: grief, recovery, transformation, and the ongoing process of remembering who they are.
My path has been shaped by personal evolution, years of therapeutic and ceremonial work, and the teachings of sacred allies such as Kambo, 5-MeO-DMT, and Cannabis. Through these experiences, I have witnessed again and again that remembrance becomes possible when we meet ourselves with honesty, compassion, and presence.
Grief and death have been some of my greatest teachers. They have invited me into a deeper relationship with life, revealing the preciousness of each moment and the resilience of the human heart. It is this reverence for both life and loss that inspires me to offer this work.
My approach is trauma-informed, heart-centered, and grounded in creating spaces where people feel safe enough to soften, express, and reconnect with themselves. I weave together therapeutic presence, ritual, breath, movement, and deep listening to support meaningful and embodied transformation.
I do not walk as an expert with answers. I walk as a fellow human being who has known both darkness and light, and who believes that grief can become a doorway to love, gratitude, and a more authentic relationship with life.

Together
friends, sisters, weavers
Nura and Mar's friendship began as neighbours and slowly grew into a relationship rooted in trust, mutual support, and a shared devotion to meaningful service.
Over the years, they discovered many common threads between their paths, but perhaps the most important is their commitment to creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and genuinely welcomed.
Together they have co-created retreats, ceremonies, workshops, and community gatherings. Their collaboration is grounded in authenticity, care, and a deep respect for the uniqueness of every person's journey.
What participants often experience in their spaces is a sense of connection, belonging, and the simple joy that emerges when we gather with intention and open hearts.

You know this retreat is for you if you feel ready to move on, to change a the page in the sorry of your life and start rewriting it in a way that honors your ancestry, life and mostly you. This retreat is for you if you are willing to go in to your own depths, to remember and let go
What if I don’t consume cannabis or plant medicine? Beautiful. All experiences are invitational. While we offer ceremonial moments with sacred plants like cannabis, cacao, blue lotus and rose in a respectful and intentional way, you are never expected or required to participate. Your sovereignty is honored at every turn.
Can I bring my kids or partner? Your partner is welcome! and, for the depth and content in this retreat is better to leave kids in safe care.
Where do I fly into? Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). We’ll provide more detailed travel instructions once you’re accepted into the retreat.
Is transportation from the airport to the retreat included? Yes. Group shuttles will be arranged on the arrival and departure days. If you arrive outside of those windows, we can help coordinate a private transfer (not included in base cost).
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions? Yes! Our private chef will lovingly prepare meals that are nourishing and able to accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, or other specific needs. Just let us know in advance.
Is it safe to travel to Mexico? We are located in a peaceful, nature-rich coastal area of Nayarit, away from tourist zones and urban density. As with all travel, we recommend standard precautions, but this region is beloved by travelers and retreat goers alike.
What is the weather like? Expect warm, tropical weather in October around 71–85°F (22–29°C) with occasional rain. The jungle is alive and lush at this time.
What should I pack? A complete packing list will be sent after you apply, but think: breathable clothes, a bathing suit, journal, water bottle, light shawl, deet-free bug spray, eco-friendly toiletries and an open heart.
What if I still have more concerns? We know saying yes to a retreat like this can bring up all kinds of feelings like excitement, uncertainty, even fear. Here are some common concerns we’ve heard, and our responses: “I’m not sure I can take the time off.” This retreat is a deep investment in your well-being. Taking time to step away from daily responsibilities can help you return with greater clarity, energy, and resilience not just for yourself, but for the people who depend on you. “I don’t think I’m spiritual enough for this.” You don’t need to subscribe to any particular belief system to join us. This retreat meets you exactly where you are and gently invites you to explore at your own pace, in your own way. “I’m concerned about the intensity of the emotional work.” The healing work we do together can be powerful and bring up big feelings. That’s part of the process, but you won’t be doing it alone. The retreat is intentionally designed with nervous system support, grounding tools, and skilled facilitators to help you move through whatever arises safely and compassionately. “I’m worried I won’t fit in.” This is a welcoming space for humans from all backgrounds and life paths. Whether you’re new to inner work or a seasoned seeker, you’ll be met with warmth, respect, and heartfelt community. “I’m worried about being away from my family and work.” Taking this time for yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. When you return more grounded, nourished, and connected, your loved ones & career benefit, too. You come back with more to give. “Is it really worth the investment?” Only you can know what your healing is worth. This retreat is designed to create lasting transformation, not just temporary relief. The tools, insights, and shifts you experience will stay with you long after the retreat ends. Still have questions or concerns? Please reach out to mar@findyourtruenature.com, we’re here to help.
We look forward to honouring the ancestors with you
If you have felt the call for grief to be a doorway to love instead of fear, this is for you.
You don't have to arrive with the answers. You don't have to be "ready." You only have to be willing to meet yourself with honesty, and allow yourself to be held in a space where nothing needs to be forced.
For four days, we will slow down enough to listen to the language of the heart, uncover your ancestral gifts, and allow the space for your sovereignty to guide your life.
If your heart recognizes this invitation, we would be honoured to welcome you.
