About this trip

Are you a writer looking for a little slice of seclusion and serenity to bring your words to life?


Perhaps you've had an idea brewing for some time, but haven't found the time and energy to just get it started?


Have you ever thought of just taking a break - a well earned escape - and truly taking space to dedicate your time, focus and energy to whatever it is you are seeking to birth into the world?


Whether you are a new writer or a seasoned pro, we invite you to the Mystical Yoga Farm nestled on the shores of the magical Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, to focus your creative energy on writing your next project into existence. 


All of our retreats are portals where we encourage disconnection from social media, a detox from digital dopamine addiction - a place to fully rejuvenate and recalibrate - calming your nervous system, allowing everything to unwind - liberating your soul and enriching your mind.


Choose from a selection of our different grass-roots accommodation options and allow our gourmet chefs to nourish your body with organic, freshly prepared meals each day. Experience the serenity that comes with being this close to one of the most magical lakes on the entire planet - surrounded by volcanos and immersed in a rich and ancient local Mayan Culture.

 

Your main host - Hart Floe - has been facilitating healing experiences for groups and 1-on-1s for over 6 years now - and it all began with writing workshops. At the age of 28, he discovered the healing power of putting pen the paper, and soon became passionate about reminding others of that power. Since then, he's written over a thousand poems, published his first book, has two more manuscripts almost ready,  and has continued to bring people together in groups to write - to ignite. 


This special retreat will include hikes guided by sacred grandfather medicine (optional), guided meditation, yoga practice, various writing workshops, solo writing time, accountability partners, feedback workshops, integration circles and more. Nestled into the breath-taking mountain sides of Lake Atitlán, this special lake is known to be a vortex where people come to find their voice, activate their creativity... a naturally inspiring place that's guaranteed to help regulate your nervous system and bring you into flow. 


Perhaps you have other projects or skills you'd like to practice while you are here too? If you also like to read, or perform, or sing, or play music, or do circus or stand-up - this is an opportunity to take 7 days out solely to focus on yourself - to cultivate and harness your own creative energy - and leave having transmuted and transformed that energy into something physical and tangible.


So why wait any longer - 


Flights to Guatemala City are accessible and affordable from most parts of the world... and we aim to make our retreats as budget friendly as possible with flexible payment plans.

It changed my life! Immersing myself in this adventure was something beyong my expectations. Since day one the magical place of San Marcos captured me making me want to experience it to the fullest. The enviroment, people, colors, volcanos, food... a whole espectacle to my senses. The stay a the Eagles Nest was just the cherry on top, having the privilige of seeing the sunrise every morning from such a view was in itself a miracle. Although I didn't take part personally in many of the main activities arranged by Hart Floe Poet as I felt the inner call for experiencing the retreat in a more "physical" way, I can say the Cocoa Ceremony trip on the first day was really something else for me. The power of the pen and paper focused activities felt at that time a time-consuming task in a my own opinion, but I must admit that they played an essencial role for many other people at the retreat and they are actually very well placed as a trigger for self-exploration and activation of the goal-cocreator mind. I totally recommend this experience in this wonderful location to anyone who feels the need for changing their lifes from their coures and beyond, because even the smallest resistence to it that could bring from home will be swallowed by the healing power of San Marcos. Once more, IGNITE changed my life!

Such a beautiful day, every effort had been made to make people feel as comfortable and as at ease as possible allowing us all to create, connect and share freely. Huge thanks to hosts Karima and Nial who went above and beyond everyone's expectations and facilitated a truly unique experience. Can't wait to do this again!
