A Sacred Shift

A Somatic Women’s Healing Retreat

Experience a Somatic Rebirth through Awakened Embodiment

July 13th – July 18th, 2025

Ekumal Eco-Sanctuary Retreat Center in Maya Riviera, Mexico

A Sacred Shift is a holistic retreat designed exclusively for women, offering a unique opportunity to experience profound healing, deep self-discovery, and a nervous system reset.

This retreat will be led by Ifé Mora, healer, spiritual teacher, trauma-informed educator, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and assisted by Luz Esmeralda, music therapist, ceremonial guide, and medicine music healer.

Why Join This Retreat?

This holistic retreat is a carefully crafted prescription for healing, detoxification, and transformation. Created by Ifé Mora, it draws on her extensive experience as a somatic clinical practitioner, retreat facilitator, spiritual teacher, and her own healing and deep connection to the sacred healing traditions of Maya ceremonial healing and sacred Indigenous healing traditions.

Through a Somatic Embodied mind-body-spirit approach, we will address the trauma and chronic stress stored in the body and mind while harnessing the profound, sacred energy of the Maya jungle to guide us on a journey of spiritual awakening and inner transformation. This experience will leave you renewed, joyous, and deeply connected to your authentic self. This journey also restores self-empowerment through meaningful connections with other women on the same path of growth and rebirth.

Activities

Day 1: Somatic Inner Child Work
Led by Ifé, this collective healing session will guide you through resolving the inner child wounds that may be hindering your ability to release stored trauma. Somatic inner child work can unlock suppressed resentment and grief, which may be obstructing your path forward in life. Heal your inner child and set yourself free.
Following this, experience a soothing Inner Child Sound Healing Meditation led by Luz. Luz will lead you to unity and harmony with the child within. Somatic Experiencing touch work will be integrated with sound healing, deepening the healing process.

Day 2: The Temazcal Rebirth Healing Journey

Early-Rise Yoga & Somatic Body Movement led by Hannah Alice and Ifé Mora

Late morning Temezcal, Led by Luz, with Somatic Experiencing touch work and nervous system regulation facilitated by Ifé, this sacred ceremony will cleanse and renew you physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Cenote Excursion in the late morning. cool off, relax, and bathe in the healing waters of a private Maya cenote. Cenotes are sacred underground caves once used by the Maya people for healing rituals and daily sustenance. These natural formations were believed to be portals to the divine and supernatural realms. Many cenotes were associated with Chaac, the Maya deity of rain and storms, symbolizing the balance between survival, spirituality, and our connection to nature.

In the evening, you have the option to participate in a Spiritual Ceremonial Journey that extends through to sunrise (Please inquire for details. this will be an additional cost).

Day 4: Rest & Relaxation at Lunah Elkumal

Led by Luz, this session is a unique space for healing and transformation, aimed at releasing emotional blockages, connecting with your deepest essence, and harnessing the healing power of your voice. Through a combination of relaxation, song, and group energy, we harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. Somatic work and sound healing will be integrated into this experience.

Day 5: Maya Traditional Cacao Ceremony

Early-Rise Yoga & Somatic Body Movement led by Hannah Alice and Ifé Mora

In the afternoon, join us for a profound Maya Traditional Cacao Ceremony led by Shaman Juan Manuel and Medicine Woman Misrayim of Somos Avalon.
This sacred ritual involves the use of cacao, a raw form of chocolate, to facilitate spiritual connection, healing, and transformation. Revered by the ancient Maya, cacao was considered a divine gift that opens the heart chakra, allowing for deeper emotional connections and inner healing. This ceremony helps release emotional blockages, trauma, and stress.

Ekumal is an ecological sanctuary nestled in the heart of the Akumal jungle, in the Maya Riviera, Mexico. It is a sustainable community within an eco-incubator, focused on creating a positive impact on both the planet and the people who inhabit it.

Ekumal is a sacred space, designed to foster safety and tranquility. Far from the distractions of everyday life, this magical place has the power to unite people, connect them with their inner selves, and create lasting transformations for all who visit.
After you sign up you will schedule with Ifé Mora two health intakes via Zoom. One intake will be with Ifé Mora and one with Luz Esmeralda. In these intakes, we will go over with you your stress history, and your mental, emotional, and physical health history, and any medications and supplements that you are presently taking. We will also go over any traumas that are significant to address that you may want to work on or that may be triggers for you. We will also discuss your dietary needs, food intolerances, or food allergies.

Why? Because we are working with trauma and healing with a holistic approach, so we have to be mindful of the entire mind and body organism, and what you as an individual might need support with as we move into this healing. My goal is to create a safe container without retraumatization, so we have to collaborate on understanding your entire system of health to give you a positive transformative experience grounded in holistic trauma-informed wellness in a safe supportive container. -Ifé, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
