Cayo Levantado Resort, a luxury all-inclusive secluded island resort in the Samaná Bay of the Dominican Republic, announces a brand-new celestial-themed wellness menu of moon ceremonies, exclusively available at the resort’s dedicated holistic wellness center, Yubarta.
The moon acts as a guide, marking the times to plant seeds, nurture growth and harvest, and its phases have shaped the rhythm of life. Yubarta has launched ceremonies created around the lunar phases to help guests reconnect with their hidden rhythm. By aligning with the phases of the moon and the changing seasons, balance and a sense of harmony is restored within.
Each month, a Full Moon (celebrating new beginnings and a blank slate) and a New Moon (marking the peak of the lunar cycle and a time for clarity and release) Ceremony will be offered based upon the astrological calendar. The calendar determines the specific intention and energy for each ceremony, creating 24 distinct rituals throughout the year. Programming will also honor major celestial events, such as the spring equinox and the winter solstice, with special ceremonies.
"When we align with the rhythm of the universe, we discover the harmony within ourselves," explains Claudia Sugey Villalon, Wellness Manager at Yubarta. "Our new Full Moon and New Moon Ceremonies provide powerful moments to release what no longer serves you and plant seeds of intention for your future. What makes our approach unique is that we've harnessed these ancient practices to create simple, practical rituals that guests can seamlessly implement into their lives. The moon's natural cycle can become your personal guide for renewal and growth long after you leave Cayo Levantado Resort.”
Set against the backdrop of Yubarta’s tropical garden-filled, open-air meditation and ritual spaces, guests will pause, reflect, and connect with their inner self. Upcoming ceremonies include:
