Mystical Lake Atitlan Retreat
Create transformative changes within.
JANUARY 9-16, 2027
Join us on a deeply healing yoga retreat in Guatemala. Lago Atitlan is a very special and high-vibrational energy lake that is flanked by three volcanoes and is considered a sacred place for the local Mayans.
Discover the magical and miraculous, the wonders of nature, and connect to your true Self. These retreats create deep and lasting connections to other people. Your perspective will shift to be able to focus on the beauty of the world when we return.
We will learn about Mayan culture and have the opportunity to participate in Mayan Fire Ceremonies, Temezcals and explore local villages. In addition to the cultural immersion, you will also be able to go on volcanic hikes or kayak on the lake.
Our intention is to create an immersive and intimate retreat. There are limited spots available. We strongly recommend that you arrive a day early and spend it overnight in Antigua as the trip to the retreat center is long. We can help you arrange transportation from airport to Airbnb to retreat center and back at an extra fee (usually around $50 each way.) We may rent a group Airbnb in Antigua on the 8th for one night.
To reserve your spot, we require a $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit.
Please email Cat here to do so.
Immerse Yourself
ife at Lake Atitlan moves at a slow, relaxed
pace. This heart-centered perspective is
ideal if you are looking to unwind.
While Spanish is the official language of
Guatemala, Mayan dialects are spoken by
the majority of local indigenous people. The front desk staff at Villa Sumaya speak English and Spanish.
When you set heartfelt intentions for a week and sustain it, incredible things can happen for you.
Before departing for Guatemala, we will have a meeting in December to introduce you to other retreat attendees and to discuss travel plans, etiquette and a brief history of the area, its nature and people.
