This Solstice Retreat at Lake Atitlan was my fourth retreat with Tamika. I LOVE her retreats, especially in Spanish-speaking locations! Her background includes teaching Spanish professionally and she effortlessly weaves in learning about the culture and history of the country in an authentic and respectful way. For Guatemala, we got to experience a Mayan Fire Ceremony with a local Indigenous healer, indulge in a gentle Temazcal sweat lodge and Cacao ceremony. You're consistently being invited into ceremony which raises each moment into a heightened spiritual experience if you're looking for it. With any of Tamika's retreats there will be some adventure, maybe a few uncomfortable moments (winding mountain roads make me queasy!) and it will all be worth it. We journeyed across Lake Atitlan in water taxis and stayed at Villa Sumaya, a maze-like eco-palace accessible by boat built into the volcanic mountainside. This place is stunning (and she's going back in 2025!). The lake and surrounding volcanoes are mesmerizingly gorgeous (every room seems to have a stunning view) and the beautiful architectural design of the villa is surrounded by lush flora. It was rainy season when we went but that made it more vibrant, more verdant. It was an invitation to rest which is one of the tenets of Tamika's approach to yoga. Tamika will hold space for you in so many ways (you can relax knowing that logistics have been carefully curated and researched and the yoga will be LEGIT whether more active but accessible yang or a delicious inspiring yin).She is always honing her craft and you will receive some world-class yoga, skillfully adapted from world-class teachers and workshops because she is consistently in the study of yoga. Another benefit of these retreats are the people - deep connections will form at the dining table. You will be inspired! You will be encouraged! You may quit your job and follow your dreams! Also a plus yummy vegetarian food and lots of unstructured time to be in self-study, community or deep-rest is built in. Villa Sumaya has a slate of wellness experts available to you from Astrology, Reiki, massage and more. Do yourself a favor and book a retreat with Tamika. You won't regret it and maybe it will change your life!

We had a great time. We were well taken care of in our lovely room. The food and yoga was excellent. The ceremonies were opening and enlightening. The sweat lodge and the cacao ceremony were my favorites. The architecture and layout of Villa Sumaya it's very beautiful and picturesque.

What a fantastic trip! From the arrival to the departure I felt cared for. The experiences we shared there were ones I’ll take with me for a long long while. From the amazing new friends to the reconnection with old ones, Tamika knows just how to cultivate a group. So so happy I joined.

I had a wonderful experience on this trip with Tamika! Everything from the airport transfers, accommodations, food, yoga practices, ceremonies and healers were well planned , thoughtfully chosen, and nourishing for the mind, body, and spirit! I would definitely participate in a retreat led by Tamika again.

I had the most amazing time on this retreat. Yoga everyday and the opportunity to experience other amazing modalities in a tropical paradise. Although we encountered lots of rain, it was refreshing and cleansing for my soul. Tamika is one of the most incredible human beings I have ever known. The privilege of learning from her in an intimate group setting is priceless. The food, fellowship and fun were top tier experiences. I am ready to place my deposit for her next offering. I have been home for two days and I still feel uplifted.
