      We had a wonderful time! Everything was organized well - and communication before and during the event was great! The excursions and meals off property were perfectly executed. The guides they hired were friendly and very knowledgeable.

      Kim was amazing! Alex was amazing! Give them both a raise!
      By Cheryl H for Adventure to Atitlan with Kim Bauman & One Love Movement on Apr 16, 2024
      It was incredibe and life-changing. Alex, our Guatemalan guide is my hero. Helping families and kids, thanks to Fredy made the trip feel like we have a greater purpose in this world. A few dificulties at the resort itself were masked by the beauty of Lake Atitlan and the warmth of the locals. I will happily travel with Sol Seed and Kim on future adventures. The yoga and service aspects were a perfect combination to bring me back home as a changed person., a better, kinder, patient, and more appreciative person. I needed this trip more than I knew. Thank you eternally for the endless organization and connections to make this all happen!
      By Neda I for Adventure to Atitlan with Kim Bauman & One Love Movement on Apr 15, 2024
      I had a great time on this trip - wonderful and peaceful location with comfortable accommodation. The team had thought of and taken care of everything. Grace and Alex were an amazing resource to ask questions and learn from and definitely made this trip memorable - they ensured we were safe, took the best photos, and advised us from shopping / dining. The team at Lomas de Tzununa were friendly - the meals were delicious however catered more for the vegetarians on the group (an option to have meat based proteins on some meals would have been ideal for me). The 350+ steps from the dock to the entrance were challenging but at the end is part of the experience that we all bonded with. Rachel, our inspiring yoga leader was just simply amazing - thank you for your kind words and leading us to into a week of self reflection and relaxation.

      I loved the accommodations at Santa Barbara Beach resort, and all of the activities that Sol Seeds provided. I also loved Micah‘s outdoor guidance experiences and the nature excursions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!
