INCLUDED ACTIVITIES:

1. Mayan Welcome Fire Ceremony: A Mayan spiritual guide will share a traditional Mayan Fire Day Counting Ceremony with your group. You will be encouraged to participate in this interactive earthworking ceremony. This ritual includes fundamental teachings on counting the days of the Mayan calendar and the co-creation of the sacred fire. In this colorful tradition, you will use chocolate, candles, cinnamon, myrrh, copal (tree resin), and the appropriate herbs to honor the energies of each day of the Mayan calendar.

2. Textile Workshop with Mayan Women: We will have the privilege of visiting a women's collective in the local village of San Juan La Laguna. These Mayan women are skilled weavers and design colorful textiles to support their families. It is an intimate and enriching experience. Chichicastenango Market Visit: Visit a famous market in the land of the Quiché Maya. After a quick boat ride to Panajachel, you will board a private van and drive for an hour through the fertile countryside. In Chichi, explore crafts, candles, flowers, and incense to find a special souvenir.

3. Visit to the Chichicastenango Market: Visit a famous market in the land of the Quiché Maya. After a quick boat ride to Panajachel, you'll board a private van and drive for an hour through the fertile countryside. In Chichi, browse handicrafts, candles, flowers, and incense to find a special souvenir.

4. Temazcal Session: A traditional sauna is central to our retreat, helping us release toxins from the physical body and bringing stagnant emotional energy to the surface. There's even a tropical pool on-site to cool off and enjoy the afternoon sun.

5. SUP Session (Stand-up Paddleboarding on the Lake): In the heart of Guatemala, Lake Atitlán boasts beautiful crystal-clear waters and views of three towering volcanoes. Suitable for beginners, this is a magical experience on the lake, and the best way to do it was on a Stand-up Paddleboard. We paddled and sat, contemplating the beauty and serenity of the lake. An unforgettable memory.

   Free time to walk, rest, use the pool, or engage in additional therapy.
