Meditation Retreat Sanctuaries of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala
The mystical energy of Lake Atitlán naturally facilitates unique meditation retreat immersions, those that are centered on healing and opening of the heart, connection to the ancestors, nurturing the soul with the surrounding beauty, remembering with the ceremonies and somatic practices with yoga and other modalities.
The beauty and stillness of the rain forest and the enchanting views of volcanoes and the lake help to slow down the nervous system and bring the attention inside for an inner spiritual journey.
Approach to Meditation
Our meditation practice is rooted in learning to peacefully co-exist with thoughts and emotions while simultaneously having the ability to deeply sense the mind and body. We have found that such an approach is significantly more meaningful, personal and connected.
It is advised to be very discerning with the use of technique-based or mechanical, repetitive meditations that are focused on quieting the mind as such approaches may lead to emotional disconnect.Â
More Than a Retreat
Each meditation retreat is facilitated with deep care and empathic connection to every participant. Our retreats are envisioned and structured with a syllabus to guide a profound internal journey toward authentic depth.
Our Philosophy
Learning cannot take place without freedom. While every retreat offers a structure, please feel free to make a retreat your own as you see necessary.
Nature’s beauty is the nourishment for the soul – it provides the necessary energy for inner work
