A RICH AND UNIQUE EXPERIENCE LEAD BY YUVAL SAMBURSKI; ASSISTED BY GERMAN HENRY

Join Yuval on his 10th (!!!) Annual Guatemala Retreat to reconnect with your heart & soul in this magical week of transformative yoga, soulful music, unique cultural excursions, and ancestral Mayan ceremonies.

During our time in the breathtaking and powerful Lake Atitlán, you will have the opportunity to embrace a change of pace and breathe in harmony with luscious nature. Villa Sumaya is the perfect destination to feel truly immersed in the elements, while feeling well taken care of by the unique culture and our well-curated program. Come to strengthen your relationship with your true Self and experience the magic of a natural world like no other. 

Lake Atitlán is considered by many to be one of the most sacred places on Earth. For centuries, the Mayan civilization has considered this energetic portal to be the "the belly button of the world", a place of forward motion, where your intentions are supported to come into fruition in record time. From our experience, this is true. Lake Atitlán undoubtedly connects us with the power of the Solar Plexus Chakra, leading us forward, in support of stronger, healthier and more empowered beings.

During our week together, expect your senses to be nourished, as you feel your Prana, vitality, and spirits lift with each day. This special off-grid holiday is the perfect place to take a break from your daily stresses and to make room for your soul's wisdom to surface. You are on a new, inner journey. Self-love and joy are inherent parts of us and our aim is to help you activate those real qualities within you. We are here to support and help you integrate the magic, not just for our week together, but as lasting transformation into your life.
