Retreat Center

The Huya Aniwa Retreat Center is a sanctuary for healing, learning, and connection, rooted in Indigenous wisdom and the natural beauty of La Noria. Situated on the edge of the Meseta de Cacaxtla Reserve, this sacred space offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the teachings of Indigenous elders while surrounded by the vibrant biodiversity of Northwestern Mexico.

Our retreat center is designed to host Indigenous leaders from around the world, creating a space for cultural exchange, deep healing, and communal learning. Guests will engage in ceremonies, workshops, and teachings led by Indigenous elders who bring generations of wisdom to guide personal and collective transformation. From traditional medicine ceremonies to hands-on workshops in sustainable land stewardship, visitors will leave with tools and insights to live in greater harmony with themselves and the Earth.

The retreat center's design reflects our commitment to sustainability and reverence for the land. Built with eco-friendly materials such as locally sourced wood, adobe, and bamboo, the infrastructure is a testament to Indigenous ingenuity and modern sustainable practices. 

At its heart, the Huya Aniwa Retreat Center is more than a destination—it is a movement. It is a space to cultivate relationships, learn ancestral practices, and build a future where humanity thrives in reciprocity with nature.

Located only a two-hour flight from Los Angeles, the Huya Aniwa Retreat Center will serve as a central hub for profound, extended retreats designed to deepen studies with Indigenous elders worldwide.

Some of these extended dietas will include offerings from: 

  • Benki Piyãko and the Yorenka Tasorentsi family (Ashaninka - Brazil)

  • Maraka’ame Casiano de la Cruz and wife Maraka’ame Wiwiama (Wixárika - Mexico) 

  • Mamo Rodrigo and family (Arhuaco, Kogi, Wiwa - Colombia)

  • Tata Mario and wife Nana Amalia and Maya family (Maya - Guatemala)

  • Inka Ttito and wife Mama Quori and Inka family (Inka - Peru)

Participants will have the unique opportunity to participate in weekend and up to month-long dietas, immersive experiences that integrate traditional teachings, plant medicine ceremonies, tree planting, and sacred practices to foster deep spiritual growth and healing. These extended stays allow individuals to cultivate a reciprocal relationship with nature and the wisdom of the elders, offering transformative insights and personal breakthroughs that unfold over time.
