About this trip
Revival: a restoration to life or consciousness, activity, or vigor after a period of obscurity or quiescence.
Escape with Autumn Scanio to Lake Atitlan, a magical crater lake located in the heart of Guatemala. The intention for this retreat is to rest, recharge, regenerate, and revive the soul with the activating energy of mama Atitlan and the volcanoes surrounding her. Disconnect to reconnect to your truth north while connecting to similar souls out in nature. Through reflection and exploration we will plant seeds for our year ahead.
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, funky 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 yoga classes with Autumn, locally sourced meals, one included hiking excursion, 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 kayaking, hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, horseback riding, zip lining, and cooking 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!
