LAKE ATITLAN

LAKE ATITLAN IN GUATEMALA IS A SHIMMERING PORTAL WHERE THE MYSTICAL AND MAGICAL BLEND HARMONIOUSLY. NESTLED AMONG TOWERING VOLCANOS THAT WHISPER ANICIENT SECRETS, THIS SACRED LAKE IS REVERED BY THE INDIGENOUS MAYANS AS THE "NAVEL OF THE EARTH”. IT’S A PLACE WHERE THE VIEL BETWEEN THE MUNDANE AND THE MAGICAL IS DELICATE, INVITING ALL TO DISCOVER ITS TIMELESS WISDOM AND BEAUTY.

THIS LAND WAS ORIGINALLY INHABITED BY SEVERAL INDIGENOUS MAYAN GROUPS, PRIMARILY THE KAQCHIKEL AND TZ'UTUJIL PEOPLES. THESE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF INHABITING THE REGION AROUND LAKE ATITLÁN AND CONTINUE TO LIVE THERE TODAY, MAINTAINING THEIR CULTURAL PRACTICES AND TRADITIONS.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE ORIGINAL ONES WHO HAVE STEWARDED THESE ANCESTRAL LANDS FOR GENERATIONS. THEIR DEEP CONNECTION TO THIS SACRED PLACE ENRICHES THE CULTURAL AND ECOLOGICAL DIVERSITY OF THE REGION. WE HONOR THEIR ENDURING PRESENCE AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE VITALITY OF LAKE ATITLÁN AND ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.

“4 days of immersing myself in ceremonies, sisterhood, deep conversations, laughter and also a huge emotional release really changed my life. That was my first time attending a retreat and the first time traveling by myself. I’m also a person who doesn’t like to be surrounded by too many people but all the women I’m so lucky to meet there truly made me feel safe and feel like home. The experience we had together has a very special place in my heart. To me, I’ll never forget the ceremony we had on the second night. That was something that I’ve never experienced and it opened my eyes to what “surrender” truly means. The experience changed my life forever. When I got home from the retreat, I felt more open and brave to take action on the things I’ve always wanted to do but didn’t feel confident enough. Listening to other women’s stories and witnessing them standing in their power really pushed me to reflect on myself and the fears that were holding me back. I’m so so grateful that I got to be a part of the circle. The love I gave and received there made me become courageous to speak my truth and be myself! ”

TESTIMONIALS from past retreats

𓏋

“For years, I have patiently waited for the perfect opportunity to immerse myself in a healing retreat. As a fellow healer, I understand the importance of self-care and inner work. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with open arms and warm hearts. We danced under the stars, sang our souls out, and shed tears of healing together. Strangers at first, but by the end, we left as divine sisters, bonded through a powerful experience. The facilitators poured their hearts and souls into creating a sacred space for us to come together and heal. They held space for each and every one of us, guiding us back to our roots and honoring our ancestors. And through the power of plant medicine and sacred ceremonies, we were reminded of the value of self-love and worthiness. This retreat will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I am grateful for every single person I met there. The empathy and love that radiated from each person will stay with me always. Thank you for showing me the beauty of connection and celebration of life.”

“Attending the Daughter of Earth retreat was a life-changing experience for me. Going in with an open heart, I was able to release lifelong trauma and pain in a peaceful manner. It was a transformative journey filled with positive experiences and a deep sense of sisterhood among all the women present. The retreat allowed me to find renewal and embrace my femininity through heartfelt ceremonies tailored perfectly to my needs. At 50 years old, this retreat marked a profound turning point in my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking clarity and self-discovery.

“Literally, HEAVEN ON EARTH. When I go on these types of retreats, it is never planned, but divinely guided. I feel a heart pull + I follow it because my heart has never steered me wrong. I could go on about all the synchronicities+divine magic that occurred between the ♾️ of us but words do no justice. It was an experience of the senses, something magical to be felt deep within. Parts of me were shed+ left in the sacred vortex. I returned home with a huge expansion of Self+consciousness. I came home inspired with a feeling of coziness inside myself. I received the gift of connecting+bonding with women who I truly feel were my sisters in another lifetime.”
