Mother Earth 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.
I am deeply grateful to be able to invite you to This retreat in Guatemala in February 2025.
This retreat will lead you deep into your heart through Yoga, meditation and Breath-work. ceremonial rituals, cacao and 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 supportive and transformative And it will be a mix of flowing and strengthening hatha yoga, As well as 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 and release toxins from deep beneath the skin, restoring flow and balance.
​
we will have two deep healing sessions of breath therapy to release traumas stored deep whit-in the body and tissue.
​
for the adventures ones, it will be possible to go for half a day hike on the active volcano pacaya. feeling the ancient grounds roaring beneath our feet.This is truly a Unique experience.
​
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.
