The Dance of
The Hummingbird
Under The Broken Moon
5 DAY RITUAL IMMERSION FOR WOMEN
IN THE FOREST OF MEXICO
Step into a 5-day immersive retreat in the forests near Mexico City, designed for a small circle of 10 women to reconnect with their creative voice, emotional depth, and inner direction.
Through ritual, sound, and embodied practices, you will explore the archetypes of Sun, Moon, Stars, and Earth as living forces within you—guiding you toward clarity, expression, and aligned action.
20 to 24 October 2026 Mexico - Huitzilac
The Dance Flow:
For five days, a small circle will step into a living ritual, walking among trees, stones, and fire, opening to the presence of sacred plants, the temazcal, and the dance of creation itself. Through shared meals, quiet, sound, movement, writing, plants, and acts of imagination, each experience becomes a mirror and a key, guiding participants to discern their path, awaken intention, and inhabit the fullness of their will, body and spirit.
The Sacred Steps:
DAY 1 – Coatlicue: The Devouring Earth
The earth swallowed the drum and began to breathe.

DAY 5 – Mitōtiliztli: The Dance of the Hummingbird under the Broken Moon- Tepoztlán

Huitzilac, whose name comes from Nahuatl and can be translated as “in the water of the hummingbirds,” is a corner in the Mexican forests, 40 minutes from Mexico City. A nest where the land, the trees, and the birds seem to whisper ancient stories.
The flora consists mostly of oak and pine forests, guardians of memory, where sunlight filters through leaves that breathe, and the shadows of the mountains invite contemplation.
Nestled within this serene landscape, the boutique house occupies a comfortable 800 m², offering space to live in harmony with nature. Surrounded by the tranquility of the forest, it is a perfect refuge for those seeking privacy, comfort, and a deep connection with the land and its timeless whispers.

Cristina Bucardo is a Mexican contemporary multidisciplinary artist working with ritual, sound, and Mexica philosophy. Founder of Mitotili, her practice explores ritual as an aesthetic and experiential structure through which perception, memory, and identity can be reorganized.
She works between artistic and therapeutic contexts, creating guided ceremonial processes that engage participants at psychological, symbolic, and sensory levels.
Her work in Berlin has been presented in institutions such as Charité and the International Society for Arts and Medicine. Since 2017, she has accompanied individuals through ritual-based processes rooted in Mexican traditions and contemporary artistic practice.
The Dance of the Hummingbird emerges from a site central to her biography the house where she grew up in the forests of Mexico, that has become today a retreat house and used as the setting for this structured ritual experience.
Irma: Mazatec Traditional Healer
Irma is a Mazatec healer from the Huautla de Jiménez region, in the Sierra de Oaxaca, a land where ceremonial knowledge lives in deep relationship with earth, spirit, and ancestral memory.
She walks within a lineage of healing carried through generations, where plants, and prayer become pathways of connection. In this retreat, she holds a ceremonial presence that invites inner listening, expanded awareness, and a return to the subtle intelligence of the heart.
Flor: Urban Shamanism

Florencia Ondona is an Argentine audiovisual artist, Akashic Records researcher, and Urban Shamanism practitioner whose work explores perception, the invisible quantum field, and expanded states of consciousness through film, performance, and hybrid narrative forms.
Her practice includes an extensive archive of more than 500 pages of drawings and automatic writing developed through her exploration of non-ordinary states of perception, gathered in her ongoing research projects “Everything is Connected”and Cinema Meditation. Now based in Berlin, she facilitates meditation and sound journeys, inviting participants into what she calls the “Inner Cinema”: a living space where perception, imagination, and consciousness meet through image, sound, and inner vision.
Nina: Sonic Artist

Nina Pixel is a sound artist, composer, and creative researcher exploring resonance, intuition, and collective imagination. Through gong, voice, and participatory listening formats, she creates immersive sonic environments that invite deep presence and subtle transformation.
Her work moves between performance, spatial sound practices, and community-based ritual formats, investigating sound as a living architecture that shapes perception and relational space. She has collaborated on interdisciplinary projects such as The Enclosed Garden in Armenia and Witches on the Run, engaging public space, memory, and collective storytelling. Within retreat settings, she holds sonic spaces for reflection and creative emergence, inviting participants into a field of listening where new inner landscapes can unfold.
