I’m Maria, founder of Luna Nueva Retreats. I first came to Peru in 2010 and instantly felt deeply connected to this extraordinary land. When I first arrived in Cusco I had planned on staying for a week and that turned into a year! Since then, I have spent my time living between Peru and Northern California, teaching and hosting retreats and workshops about herbalism, energetics and yoga.
