Welcome to Okan Healing Center—a serene jungle retreat designed for deep restoration of heart, mind, and soul.
After six years of managing Hawk’s Nest Healing Gardens, Hector and Phoebe are opening Okan Healing Center. The work of healing our bodies, the land, and our communities continues from Hawk’s Nest to Okan.
Okan Healing Center—a serene jungle retreat designed for deep restoration of heart, mind, and soul. Just two kilometers from town and five kilometers from the beach, it offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. Designed for both retreat and exploration, this space allows you to unplug from daily life while staying connected to vibrant local culture, cleansing waters, and nearby sacred sites known for their powerful energy.
Named after the Yoruba word for “heart,” Okan Healing Center is a sanctuary for deep connection with the divine energies of Mother Earth. We chose this name to honor all our ancestors who walk with us, the wisdom carried through the African diaspora, and the heart-centered healing that has guided our spirits across many lifetimes. We acknowledge that we are on ancestral Maya land and honor the centuries of traditions through which the Maya people have stewarded and cared for this magical jungle.
Our eco-friendly center is intentionally set off the beaten path, inviting the land itself to become part of your healing. The open-air design reduces the need for air conditioning keeping guests connected to nature while minimizing environmental impact.
"I loved waking up to the sounds of the jungle, the morning breeze and bird songs. I felt peaceful and connected. The location is a perfect distance to be away from town, but close enough for a quick bike ride to dinner."
– Mary Oxendine
