💫 Semillas de Luz
Equinox Retreat in Ecuador
Plant the Seeds of Light Within You
March 20th - March 27th, 2026
From the heart of the Andes, at the base of the sacred mountain Ilaló, we gather to honor the North American Spring Equinox and the South American Fall Equinox — a threshold of balance, where day and night stand equal.
This is the perfect moment to release what no longer serves, align with your true essence, and plant new intentions that will blossom throughout the year.
Semillas de Luz is a 7-day retreat designed to guide you back into balance with nature, your body, and your spirit.
Through ritual, ceremony, and embodied practice, you’ll be supported to open your heart, reconnect to your ancestral wisdom, and step forward with clarity.

💫 Why the Equinox?
The equinox is a cosmic invitation to pause, reflect, and rebalance. In the land of the equator — the middle of the world — this energy is amplified. To be in Ecuador at this time is to be at the very center of balance, receiving the medicine of the earth and sky in equal measure.
This retreat is a portal: a moment to let go of heaviness, to return to your essence, and to plant semillas de luz — seeds of light — that will continue to grow long after you leave.
