Mornings in the Jungle

Wake up to the gentle sounds of Tulum’s jungle as the first light touches the trees. Begin your day with a soul-nourishing practice that awakens body and spirit, followed by a wholesome breakfast shared in community.

Afternoons of Learning & Rest

Dive into inspiring sessions that feed both mind and heart. Practice Lomi Lomi hands-on, join meaningful rituals, and allow space to simply be. In your free time, relax by the pool, wander the lush grounds, or feel the sand beneath your feet at the nearby Caribbean beach.

Evenings of Connection

As the sun sets, gather for nourishing dinners made with fresh, vegetarian ingredients. On special nights, join magical evening programs that deepen connection and presence. Finally, retreat to your charming cabana, where the sounds of nature guide you into deep, restorative rest.

Why join this retreat?

Learn the traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage techniques
Step by step you’ll be guided into the sacred art of Temple Style Lomi Lomi. From flowing full-body strokes to the presence behind every touch, you’ll learn to create a safe and deeply healing space. This isn’t just massage, it’s a ceremony that restores balance and connection.

Deepen your understanding of Hawaiian spirituality
Lomi Lomi is rooted in ancient wisdom where body, mind, and spirit are one. Through rituals, chants, and teachings you’ll connect with Aloha – the essence of love and compassion – and bring this into both your practice and your daily life.

Guidance by Ricardo Balkhoven
With over 35 years of experience and direct teachings from Hawaiian elders, Ricardo embodies the depth and authenticity of Lomi Lomi. His heart-centered way of teaching is safe, inspiring, and filled with reverence for the lineage.

Magical Mexico setting
Held in a peaceful beachside retreat center with lush jungle and the Caribbean Sea nearby. Relax by the pool, walk in nature, or simply rest in the stillness that surrounds you.


More than a training – a life-changing journey
You’ll not only learn the techniques of Lomi Lomi, but also how to integrate its healing power into your life. Many participants leave with new skills, inner clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose and joy.

Your power lies in daring to be who you truly are, unapologetically.

The Location: Lunita Jungle Retreat

Hidden in the lush jungle of Tulum, Lunita Jungle Retreat is a sanctuary designed for deep rest, connection, and transformation. This eco-conscious haven offers the perfect balance between nature’s raw beauty and mindful comfort.

Wake up to the sounds of birdsong and gentle breezes through the palms, and fall asleep under a sky full of stars. Charming cabanas invite you to slow down and recharge, while nourishing vegetarian meals bring body and soul into harmony.

Between sessions you’ll find space to simply be — whether that means swinging in a hammock, journaling under the trees, or taking a short trip to Tulum’s world-famous white sand beaches and turquoise sea.

Lunita Jungle Retreat isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a home for your journey inward. A place where nature holds you, community surrounds you, and your inner world unfolds in its own rhythm.
