Release. Renew. Begin Again.

There’s something magical about the turning of the year—one chapter closing, a new one waiting to be written. It’s a threshold moment, a chance to pause, let go of what no longer serves you, and step boldly into the next cycle with clarity, joy, and intention.

Join us on the shimmering shores of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, for a transformational week of yoga, meditation, soulful reflection, and sacred ceremony. Together, we’ll celebrate the close of 2025 with gratitude and set powerful intentions to welcome 2026 with open hearts, clear vision, and vibrant energy.

Guided by longtime teachers Charles MacInerney and Michelle Margaret Fajkus, this retreat blends grounded practices with mystical wisdom. You’ll explore yoga, meditation, journaling, and goal-setting as tools to create a life you love—while also learning from the Mayan cosmovision, a living tradition that reveals how to live in harmony with nature, spirit, and purpose.

Why This Retreat?

The Mayan calendar teaches that time isn’t linear—it spirals, inviting us to return again and again with deeper awareness. This retreat is designed to help you:

✨ Reflect on the year that’s closing with compassion and gratitude
✨ Release habits, patterns, or “toxic goals” that no longer fit
✨ Clarify your soul-aligned vision for the new year
✨ Anchor your intentions through ceremony, community, and practice

As we cross into 2026, you’ll feel more aligned, grounded, and ready to create from a place of flow, freedom, and fulfillment.

What to Expect

Each day we’ll weave together movement, reflection, and inspiration:

• Energizing + restorative yoga and meditation sessions

• Creative writing prompts + life design workshops based on Charles’ book, Toxic Goals, Flow & the Pursuit of Excellence

• Tools for clarifying your deepest desires (mind mapping, visioning, action planning)

• A personal Mayan day sign reading to illuminate your path

• A sacred Mayan fire ceremony to ignite and bless your intentions for the year ahead

Plus, plenty of free time to rest, explore, and soak up the magic of Lake Atitlán.

Who It’s For

Whether you’re craving a fresh start, navigating a big life shift, or simply longing to reconnect with your inner spark—this retreat is for you.

Solo travelers, couples, creatives, caregivers, teachers, seekers—all are welcome. No prior yoga or writing experience required. Just bring your open heart and your willingness to step into the new year with joy and intention.

This is your invitation to reset, realign, and rise into 2026!
