      About this trip

      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! 


      A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to reserve your space on this retreat. Your trip balance is due 120 days out from the retreat start date. If you would like to set up a payment plan for your trip balance at no additional cost, please email info@solseedretreats.com.

      Cancellation Policy

      All retreats include a $500 non-refundable / non-transferable deposit, which is required to hold your spot on the trip. Any balance payments made are also non-refundable / non-transferable. SolSeed Retreats can only make an exception to these terms if:

      2. The host government forbids our vendors from hosting us as tourists.
      3. The US government forbids us to travel to the host country as tourists.

      If SolSeed must further postpone or cancel the trip for any of the above reasons, all registrants will receive a refund of all deposits paid less $200.


      If you refuse to comply with the laws of the host country, region, town, etc; SolSeed will not consider this a valid reason for receiving any refund. SolSeed will ensure to the best of their abilities that all registrants comply with all then current laws and regulations. Registrants are personally responsible for complying to local laws, at their own expense. Such expenses may include, but are not limited to:

      1. Proving adequate vaccination status

      Required Travel Insurance

      The purchase of travel insurance is required for this trip. 


      Most policies protect you against potential trip delays or cancellations due to airline issues, family emergencies, illness, injury, etc. The travel insurance will also demonstrate to the host country that you are able to pay for any emergency services which may be necessary during your stay.


      SolSeed is not authorized to sell travel insurance. Any offer to purchase travel insurance that you encounter during the checkout process are third party offers. You are free to select your own policy provider. If you would like to review options in a convenient online marketplace, we like what www.insuremytrip.com has put together. We have also had great experience with Trawick International and their customer service, and heard very good things from AAA Members who have purchased their travel insurance through AAA.


      We strongly encourage you to speak with a travel insurance agent to discuss your specific coverage needs, and to clear up any questions you may have relative to travel insurance coverage, including questions about COVID-19

      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!

      Angela and acandance are amazing! I love all of their retreats, and this was a memorable experience for me. The location was breathtaking. But the food was very limiting, the 400 stairs should’ve been added in the trip info and the scorpions in the room made it imposible to sleep in.

      I had a wonderful time. The location, the Essaouira Lodge, was awesome: Beautiful bungalow, walk distance to the yoga outdoor arena, dining area, swimming pool...and quick ride to the Medina. The food was interesting and delicious...every meal a new experience! Best of all, was doing daily, breath, yoga and MELT sessions with Joyce and Rudy...and meeting a lot of really great folks and forging new friendships.
