March 16-23, 2024
About this trip
Escape with Georgette Yannetti and Sarah Bess Hutchison to Lake Atitlan, a magical crater lake located in the heart of Guatemala. This retreat will provide you with the perfect opportunity to invest in yourself, as well as explore a remote and sacred part of the world that will open your heart and your perspective to what could be.
What can you expect on this retreat?
Our journey begins with an overnight stay in the colonial city of Antigua, where our community will gather and connect for the first time. You'll have time to explore the unique architecture, rooftop restaurants, and boutiques of Antigua prior to meeting up for a welcome dinner that evening. We highly recommend coming in a night early, if you can, to enjoy even more time in this city!
On day 2, we will make our way to Isla Verde, a lakefront boutique retreat center with bohemian vibe, and stunning views of Lake Atitlan. Once there, you will have ample opportunity to experience the Mayan culture of Lake Atitlan, connect with nature, practice yoga in community, and create your own adventure.
Our time together will include daily yoga classes with Jacob, locally sourced meals, two included cultural and adventure-driven excursions, one included 90 minute Myofascial Release Bodywork Session with Georgette, and plenty of time for you to relax and recharge amongst the stunning grounds of Isla Verde and Lake Atitlan. Our retreat center features a lakefront hot tub and sauna, and restaurant / lounge area with fireplace, all available for you to enjoy!
Outdoor lovers will have ample opportunity to partake in many activities throughout our week including: kayaking, hiking, stand up paddle boarding, horseback riding, zip lining, and paragliding, to name a few. Cultural activities include local cooking and weaving classes, and coffee farm tours. Boat rides are readily available to visit neighboring Mayan villages where you can enjoy local foods, markets, and some of the best textile and arts shopping in Central America.
Come experience Guatemala with Georgette, Jacob and an amazing group of humans. This week will change your life, if you let it. ;)
