Rejuvenate with Charlotte Zeitel and Amber McBride to Lake Atitlan, a magical crater lake located in the heart of Guatemala. Together we'll remember how to face our fears through movement, self-inquiry and adventure. You'll leave with a deeper sense of Self along with the courage to follow your aspirations. Whatever you're yearning for in your life, it can be YOURS!
Our trip begins with an overnight stay in the colonial city of Antigua, where the group will gather. You'll have time to explore the unique architecture, boutiques, and bars and restaurants of Antigua. On day 2, we will make our way to Lomas de Tzununa, a lakefront hotel with a relaxing vibe, and stunning views of Lake Atitlan.
Our days will include daily and always optional yoga classes with Char and Amber, locally sourced meals, two included cultural and adventure driven excursions, and plenty of time to disconnect and recharge amongst the stunning hillside grounds of Lomas de Tzununa and Lake Atitlan. Our retreat center features an on-site pool, temazcal sauna, and restaurant / lounge area, all available for you to enjoy!
Love to stay busy? Your week will include opportunities for hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, horseback riding, zip lining, and cooking & weaving classes. Boat rides are readily available to visit neighboring villages and experience local food, markets, and some of the best textile and arts shopping in Central America.
Come experience Guatemala with an amazing community of like-minded people!
