the deep embrace of creation retreat
25 feb - 04 march 2025. Earth lodge, Antigua, Guatemala.
Come with an open heart or come and get your heart opened
The heart is a very special organ in the human body. It has its very own energetic field and It has cells that correspond to brain cells. the heart can still beat even if the brain dies. There is a very special place in the heart that no surgeon can or must touch, because if they do, we will die. It is from this place that all life comes. and it is from this place that we will delve deep into to remembering who we truly are.
the deep embrace of creation.
I am deeply delighted and grateful to be able to invite you to The second retreat in Guatemala in February 2025.
the deep embrace of creation retreat.
This retreat will lead you deep into your heart through meditation and Breath-work. ceremonial rituals and cacao. Yoga and sound healing.
We will work with ceremonial cacao directly from the rainforest and create a deep connection to nature and mother earth.
The yoga will be revealing and supportive, as well as transformative in its own right. And it will be a mix of flowing and strengthening hatha yoga. As well as opening melting and lubricating Yin Yoga. In addition to the yoga, we will also loosen and release via connective tissue massage, where we use balls to massage the connective tissue.
we will have two sessions of breath therapy to release traumas stored deep
in the body and tissue. and go deep in contemplation with one day of silence.
and for the adventures, we will journey together for a half day hike on the active volcano pacaya. feeling the ancient grounds roaring beneath our feet.
there will also be an opportunity to go to the historical marked in Chichicastenango. known as the most colourful market in Central America. Here different Mayan groups travels far and wide to trade their hand sown textiles, ceramics, traditionel medicines and more. it is a very speciel place and you will for sure be able to do a fantastic bargin.
