About this trip

Ignite Your Light: A Transformational Retreat in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala

Reclaim Your Radiance | Move, Nourish, Connect


Join us for Ignite Your Light, an unforgettable retreat set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala—a sacred place known for its healing energy, volcanic beauty, and deep spiritual roots. This experience is designed to help you shed the weight of everyday stress, reconnect with your authentic self, and step into your power with confidence and clarity.


Over the course of the retreat, we’ll use movement, mindful nourishment, and nature’s wisdom to restore balance, reignite your inner fire, and empower you to show up as your most vibrant self. 


Through movement, meditation, nourishment, and deep connection with nature, Ignite Your Light will guide you back to your inner power.


Mornings begin with meditations and movement, blending strength, mobility, and breathwork to awaken your body and mind. You'll fuel yourself with nourishing, locally-sourced meals, designed to restore and energize from the inside out.


Immersed in the lake’s healing energy, you’ll explore its beauty through guided hikes, paddle boarding, cultural ceremonies, and moments of stillness, allowing nature to support your transformation. Evenings invite reflection, soulful conversations, and the power of community—helping you peel back the layers and ignite your inner light.


This retreat isn’t just a getaway—it’s a homecoming to yourself! Leave behind the noise, step into your power, and return with renewed clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Meet Your Hosts

Meredith Nagel:

 

Coach Meredith grew up in Colorado, where she was always active—snowboarding, playing sports, and lifting weights—but her journey took an unexpected turn when she became a mom during her PhD program. Transitioning from academia to full-time motherhood left her feeling lost. But in 2020 yoga teacher training became a turning point, leading her to become a NASM-certified personal trainer and nutrition coach. For Meredith, fitness wasn’t just about getting stronger—it was about reclaiming her identity. She learned that prioritizing her health made her a better mom and a more confident, empowered woman. Now, she is on a mission to help other women break through barriers, tap into their inner badass, and create a life they love. She believes every woman is capable of more than she thinks, and she is dedicated to guiding and supporting them every step of the way.
