the Healing Through Lunar Forces
Wellness Experience at Amanera,
a sleek oceanside luxury resort at theedge of the jungle on the northern
coast of the D.R. During the three-

a Palo Santo smudging ceremony and
a deep-tissue massage using therapeutic
herbal mixes. For a waxing moon, which
instills energy, a full-body coffee exfo-
liation blended with black pepper and
rosemary will help awaken your senses.
Throughout your stay, you’ll enjoy

chosen for their nutritional benefits
based on the moon cycle. Start your day
with sunrise yoga and meditation. Later,
hike through the jungle to experience
the rejuvenating qualities of nature.
