Itinerary

Day 01 - Arrive + Ceremony

After arrival into Guatemala City International Airport, you’ll be whisked away and dropped off at our beautiful boho beachside retreat centre. After a few hours of relaxation and getting to know your new friends, we’ll head to our opening ceremony with Jamie & Jaclyn.

A welcome dinner and a good night’s rest follows.

Day 02 - Sunrise, Meditation & Breathwork

Our first full day in Guatemala together will begin the morning with a sunrise meditation followed by a nourishing breakfast. After some relaxation, we’ll gather for Jaclyn’s Release Workshop – a somatic healing meditation and movement class.

After lunch, we’ll have time for integration and familiarize ourselves with our local surroundings – journal on the beach in our backyard, cool off by the pool or relax in a hammock. As the sun sets, Jamie will guide us through a soothing yin class, facilitating a deeper connection with our bodies. After a delicious dinner we’ll gather around a bonfire for a fire release ceremony.

Day 03 - Into the Wild

At dawn, we’ll embark on a serene journey to one of the world’s rare sea-turtle feeding grounds to witness the magical hatching of baby turtles making their way to the ocean. Following this awe-inspiring experience, we’ll engage in a peaceful meditation and gentle movement session as the sun ascends.

Following a nourishing breakfast, we’ll convene for another insightful workshop. After a satisfying lunch, immerse yourself in relaxation amidst the peaceful surroundings.

As the afternoon unfolds, we’ll embark on an enchanting kayak journey along the scenic mangrove-lined river at the edge of Sipacate El Naranjo National Park. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, we’ll navigate through the mangroves, spotting native wildlife and sea turtles.

We’ll reconvene at the property for a delectable in-house dinner, followed by a rejuvenating Yoga Nidra session to unwind and prepare for a restful night ahead.

Day 04 - Reset & Tune In

Enjoy a leisurely morning with the option to sleep in before we gather for a delightful breakfast.
Following breakfast, join us for ReWild Breathwork led by Jamie, a transformative somatic experience weaving breath, sound, and movement.

After lunch, take time to unwind and rejuvenate with massages, leisurely beach walks, or lounging by the pool.

As the sun sets, we’ll reconvene for a serene sunset meditation followed by a shared dinner.

Day 05 - Reflect & ReWild

On our last full day together in Guatemala, you’ll have the opportunity to experience surfing if you wish. Following a hearty breakfast, we’ll convene for our final workshop.

The remainder of the afternoon is yours to reflect and integrate the experiences we’ve shared during this retreat. We’ll gather once more for a heartfelt closing ceremony, followed by a final farewell dinner.

We’ll culminate our retreat with a beach bonfire where we will come together for a closing ceremony, and a night of fun and dance under the stars.

Day 06 - Until Next Time

We’ll conclude our time with a heartfelt breakfast and farewells (or “see you later”s) as we part ways or if you’d like to keep going – join us for an optional night in Antigua!
