The Original Brujas are Awakening

And we’re gathering to Invoke the Witch Within.

We’re calling the women who’ve always known they were powerful and aren’t touching half of what they’re capable of.

The world taught you not to trust you’re intuition.

It disconnected you from your body and your emotions.

And made the unseen world and the earth your enemy.

But women like you are remembering the sacred arts of intuition, healing, and elemental magic that live within every woman’s body.

We’re gathering in the land of fire, water, earth, and spirit to reclaim what was once forbidden: our freedom to feel, to create, to know, and to wield our power without fear.

Mujer Bruja: Invoking the Witch Within


Over this 7 day initiation we'll invoke the 4 archetypes of La Bruja (the witch) inside you. Each archetype is anchored in a form of elemental magic. Each one showing you how to source your power from your body, your ancestors, the earth, and the unseen. 


Meet The 4 Archetypes 

of La Bruja :

The Lineage Holder (Earth)

We open with cacao and fire, offering to the land that holds us. You’ll step into ancestral veneration, drum, and rage work that cracks open what you’ve been carrying. You’ll feel the ground under you and your ancestors behind you. You’ll remember: Power lives in your roots, in your voice, and in the earth itself.

The Curandera (Water)

Inside the heat of the temazcal, you’ll meet your body as temple. Through womb healing, herbal allies, and ritual baths, you’ll reclaim your intuition as something you can trust. You’ll remember: Your womb is your compass, your waters carry wisdom, your body is medicine.

The Alchemist (Fire)

You’ll work with herbs, candle magic, and eros to transmute, turning what feels heavy into fuel, desire into creation. You’ll feel your body as the cauldron of transformation. You’ll remember: Your fire isn’t dangerous. It’s creative. You direct it.

The High Priestess (Air and Spirit)

We close with high magic: frequency work, ritual design, self-anointing, and unveiling. You’ll claim your authority not by being chosen, but by choosing yourself. You’ll remember: you don’t wait for permission, accessing your power and wielding your magic is your birthright.

The Retreat Center

Kawoq Forest
Nestled in the lush highlands overlooking Lake Atitlán, Kawoq Forest is a sacred sanctuary for renewal, remembrance, and return. Once known as The Yoga Forest, this eco-conscious retreat center now welcomes seekers from around the world to reconnect with nature, spirit, and self through transformative experiences rooted in Mayan land and lineage.

Built from adobe, bamboo, and palm, every space honors the Earth—each room adorned with handwoven Mayan textiles, soft linens, and open views of the forest, volcanoes, and shimmering lake below. Here, sustainability meets soulfulness, offering a rare balance of comfort, simplicity, and wild beauty. Kawoq Forest holds space for stillness, ceremony, and deep connection—a living invitation to slow down, breathe with the land, and remember the magic that lives within you.






Bonuses Included for Every Woman Attending The Retreat

Led by Clarissa, the Dark Alchemical Priestess, who walks with the medicine of shadow and erotic alchemy; Marcela, La Espiritista, who channels ancestral wisdom and guides women through the unseen realms, together we weave a field of transformation that touches every layer of the self.

Through ancestral veneration, womb healing, elemental ritual, herbal alchemy, and high-frequency initiation, this retreat opens the gates to the four elemental archetypes of the witch : Earth, Water, Fire, and Air, guiding each woman to source her power from within and to wield it with integrity, clarity, and wop.

Our mission is to remember what the world tried to erase: that the feminine is creation itself. That power is not dominance, it is devotion. And that every woman carries the blood memory of magic in her bones.

Here, we rise together, as women, as sisters, as curanderas, medicine women, as witches, as healers, as priestesses, restoring the balance between the sacred and the wild, between earth and spirit, between what was hidden and what is ready to be born.

We need you. You are La Mujer Bruja!

The Brujas Behind The Magic

La Espiritista Marcela Ortiz

Marcela is a spiritual healer and teacher devoted to helping women remember who they are at a soul level. Marcela accesses ancient wisdom through her relationship with her ancestors, a connection she has developed and strengthened over the past 8 years. Through this spiritual guidance, she has learned how to guide women to awaken their intuition, access their power of self-healing and activate their spiritual abilities. Through her women’s circles, spiritual development mentorships and sacred ceremonies, she teaches women how to listen to their intuition, connect with their ancestors and live in alignment with their soul’s truth. Marcela is also a practitioner of candle magic and the traditions of espiritismo. She handcrafts spiritual baños, infused with herbs, prayers and intention. These spiritual baños are prepared and blessed to clear blockages, heighten spiritual gifts, open roads to abundance and cover you in spiritual protection. Her work is a powerful combination of ceremony, energy healing, intuitive spiritual guidance and spiritual development mentorships. Marcela’s ultimate goal is to guide women to remember their magic within. To have so much confidence in their own power that they need not search for outside validation. Teaching these women that the answers they seek, the healing they wish to receive and the sacred connection they yearn for, already live within them.

Curandera and Priestess of Shadow & Erotic Alchemy Clarissa Guillen

Clarissa Guillen is an Alchemical Priestess, Ancestral Curandera, and initiated Myrrophore who helps women remember who they are. Blending ancestral hands-on healing, shadow work, emotional alchemy, elemental ritual, and the sacred feminine arts, Clarissa’s practice invites women to meet themselves—again and again—in the truth of who they’ve always been. She teaches women how to source, direct, and hold their power so they can finally free themselves to be who they really are—before the world told them who to be.
