Maya Summer Solstice Retreat 2026

We invite you to receive the blessed solstice energy in the sacred temples of the Maya ancestors. The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and its light is at its most powerful.

June 20th to 26th - Peten, Flores, Guatemala

This is a time of abundance, vitality, and heightened energy, a moment to honor the life-giving force of the sun that sustains all living beings.

Set between the jungle and the sacred waters of Petén, this retreat is a guided journey into balance, healing, remembrance, and right relationship with life.

Itinerary:

June 21 - Uaxactún - Solstice Ceremony

A time of celebration and gratitude for the movement of the stars, honoring Grandfather Sun, Grandfather Fire, and our inner fire, our hearts open to self-love and love for all of life as we connect with the ancient teachings embedded in the pyramids.

The pyramids of Uaxactún are among the oldest known in the Maya world, and are especially significant for their role in astronomical observation.

It was designed to track the sun’s movement, marking solstices and equinoxes, showing the deep relationship the Maya hold between cosmos, time, and life on Earth. Uaxactún is a place where time, sky, and human consciousness align.

June 22 - Tikal - Ceremony to reaffirm each person’s mission

At Tikal, above the jungle canopy, we gather to reaffirm our mission and path, give thanks for all we have, our work and our role in the world and receive guidance and insight

In the Maya tradition, this is a day of self-knowledge, healing, and flourishing, a space where each person reconnects with their purpose and responsibility within the greater whole.

A space for cleansing emotions and bringing fluidity into our lives.

Honoring all waters, both physical and energetic, and cultivating awareness in how we care for and use them, as well as how we relate to our emotions, our bodies and the sacredness of water.

We will make offerings. Water guides our emotions, teaches us how to cleanse, and flow.

At Yaxhá, we enter a space of emotional purification, renewal and softness, reconnection to the medicine of the water within and all around us.

June 24 - Actun Kan Caves - Ceremony to connect with the spirit of Mother Earth
