Guatemala – November 20 – November 25, 2023

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 Milan & Jenny.

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

Our first full day in Guatemala together will begin with a one-on-one sunrise surf lesson followed by a nourishing breakfast. After some relaxation, we’ll gather for a grounding movement and meditation practice.

In the afternoon, we’ll familiarize ourselves with our the local surroundings – journal on the beach in our backyard, cool off by the pool or relax in a hammock. We’ll end the evening with a delicious family dinner followed by a soothing Yoga Nidra with Jenny.

Mid-afternoon we’ll explore the beautiful mangrove-lined river on the edge of the Sipacate El Naranjo National Park for sunset. Option to explore via stand up paddle board (SUP), tandem kayak or by traditional lancha boat.

A local guide from La Choze Chula, a social enterprise seeking to ensure local communities and the environment benefit from the growing tourism of El Paredón, Guatemala, will guide us through the mangroves helping us to spot local wildlife and sea turtles.

We’ll start the day with a movement and meditation class followed by breakfast.

Enjoy some free time at the retreat centre before we head off for a local cooking class to experience the local culture and cuisine of El Paredon through an authentic cooking experience at a local family’s kitchen in the cozy local village. We’ll learn how to make traditional Guatemalan tortillas, empanadas, ticucas and more and then we feast.

Upon our return we’ll have some free time where you can opt for a massages or take a surf board onto the waves as you enjoy some free time before coming together for our Arm Balance + Inversion Workshop followed by dinner. 

Early morning we visit one of only seven sea-turtle feeding grounds in the world for sunrise. We’ll have the opportunity to witness the baby sea turtles hatch and make their way safely to the ocean. Upon our return to our retreat centre, we’ll enjoy breakfast followed by a hips + shoulders workshop.

After lunch, relax poolside, or in a hammock somewhere on the property, take time out for YOU. If there are any optional activities you’d like to partake in – today’s the day!

In the afternoon we’ll come together for an optional sunset surf session followed by dinner.

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

Our last morning together will include movement, meditation and connection. We’ll end our time with breakfast and goodbye’s (or see you later’s)!
