Life is full of twists and turns, but those twists and turns CAN lead us away from ourselves.
Years of relentless daily responsibilities, career challenges, immersion in the role of motherhood, and simply the “rules” of adulthood can make you feel numb to the magic of life that's all around you.
Daily practices like yoga and meditation can lighten the heavy energy of everyday life, but it isn't always enough. The pace and demands of modern life can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, from others, and from nature.
Even if you’re on a spiritual path, that path can be lonely and filled with self-doubt. It’s easy to feel that what once made you a vibrant, passionate, fully-alive woman has been lost.
Let’s find HER again.
Awaken your soul, uncover your inner wild essence, and step into your power as a confident and powerful feminine being.
Rooted in sisterhood and grounded in the natural world, Wild Soul Awakening is a spiritual yet rooted healing retreat set amongst the splendor of Antigua and the majestic holding of Lake Atitlan in colorful Guatemala. You’ll discover a fuller range of exactly who you are meant to be through powerful, soul-enriching experiences so you can authentically express yourself within that new, wider range of being.
You will be invited to play with authentic movement, cultivate embodied expression, and experience the power of plant medicines. You will get to land more deeply within yourself, your body, your breath, and your being. With plenty of laughter and tears along the way, you will create the foundation for a lasting and profound inner and outer transformation that enables you to reclaim the direction, experience, and power of your own life.

your soul

AN EXPLORATION INTO THE WILD HEART OF THE MODERN WOMAN

After meeting at a retreat right here on Lake Atitlan, Lily and Victoria connected over their passion and mission of bringing women together and curating deep soul-nourishing experiences.

WHAT OUR PAST RETREAT ATTENDEES HAVE SAID:
This Retreat has been completely life-changing and transforming. It was magical and almost like a dream I didn't want to wake up from. Thank you for creating such an unforgettable experience.
Retreat Flow
While we are here on these lands, we will be working with the sacred Mayan Calendar called the Cholq’ij, which is a lens into the Mayan Cosmovision. The Cholq’ij is a system of measuring time and honoring natural cycles that is still practiced today.
Each day holds specific guardian energies, called Nahuales, that represent different aspects of nature and human consciousness. These energies will help guide our retreat experience…
As these archetypes guide and support us, you will also get to learn about your own Mayan astrology, uncovering more meaning and magic in your life along the way.

Post-Retreat Support
You’ll return to your life feeling refreshed, reenergized, and ready to express more of your innate, wild-embodied wisdom, but reintegrating back into your daily life can be hard. It can be easy to fall back into old patterns.
We want the transformation you experience to have a long-lasting impact, which means helping you integrate what you’ve experienced into your “real” life.
After the retreat is over, we’ll schedule a post-trip reconnection circle providing an opportunity to reunite with the sisterhood we’ve all created, discuss challenges that may have come up after you returned home, and gain insights into how you can keep your spark alive as you are settling back into your re-inspired everyday life.
Lake-Front Retreat Home
Our beautiful retreat home offers incredible views of Lake Atitlan and nearby mountains. This magical property features landscaped gardens, private lake dock, and an outdoor cold and heated pool. The grounds offers ample space for outdoor exploration and relaxation.

Antigua & magical Lake Atitlan in Guatemala IS KNOWN as a vortex for deep healing, rejuvenation, and adventure
Our adventure begins in Antigua where you will find yourself surrounded by Spanish colonial architecture, handmade crafts, and colorful charm. A welcoming place that is not to be missed when visiting the country of Guatemala. Volcan de Fuego and Volcan de Agua are gorgeous sights to see in this enchanting town! It’s the perfect way to settle into Guatemala and prepare for the spiritual adventure ahead.
Then, we’ll make our way to Lake Atitlan, a wild and alive place of teal-colored waters surrounded by Mayan history and spiritual power. Regularly described as a vortex of energy that the Mayan culture has celebrated for centuries, it’s also a stunning natural location surrounded by volcanoes and culturally rich towns that we’ll get to explore together.
With its spiritual power and natural beauty, Guatemala is a life-changing, soul-enriching place to expand your consciousness, reclaim your vitality, and set your soul free.
RECONNECT to the core of
who you are,
reignite your spark,
& reCOMMIT TO the wild ESSENCE
within YOU
Modern society doesn’t leave much time for you to catch your breath. The demands of everyday life can dampen your connection to that unique spark that makes you, you. With work obligations, family stressors, and all the to-dos, tasks, and errands that living in the 21st century demands, it’s easy to give up on passion… on experiencing deep joy… on knowing you’re a powerful woman with wild wants, needs, and desires!
But NOTHING IS LOST…
The fire in your soul CANNOT GO OUT.
Join us at the Wild Soul Awakening Guatemala women's retreat and experience deep inner reflection paired with a profound sense of outer support.
Through deep nourishment, loving sisterhood, and daily connection to the power of nature, you can get re-acquainted with
your wild essence and start experiencing the full spectrum of life with more clarity, ease and joy!
Life is too short to not Come fully alive
