Awaken the Divine Within you

Come to guatemala

JULY 19 - 25th, 2026

Give yourself the gift of reflection and adventure immersed in the heart of Mayan culture, alongside one of the world’s most beautiful lakes.

Join us, along with 12 fellow beautiful women in the heart of Central America at Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. This is an opportunity for rest, movement with yoga, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and hiking, nourishment of body with exquisitely prepared vegetarian food, a nervous-system reset with the peaceful surroundings of the lake, time in solitude, and opportunities to connect and befriend others.

Lake Atitlán will capture your heart the moment you awaken to the sunrise peeking over the Atitlán and Tolimán Volcanoes.

It will transport you back into ancestral time as the Earth’s vibration activates the inner healer within. You can see the ancient lifetimes of humanity in the eyes of the Mayan people. Everything is illuminated…the colors of nature, the people, the animals, the streets, the sounds…and it will awaken your soul’s calling.

It is our honor to create an offering to bring you to this truly magical place on Earth.

Prior Guest experiences

  • Sarah A.

    TAOS Retreat

    “I didn't know what to expect on the Inner Wisdom Retreat, but after working with Sarah for the last few years, I trusted she would provide a safe, nourishing experience. As a busy business owner and mom of a toddler, the expansive space, incredible food, healing breathwork and massage sessions and thoughtful intuitive touches were exactly what I needed to make space to go inward and find pieces of myself - namely my creativity and intuition - to bring back to my everyday life and ground me in new ways. Even better was being in presence with other women, business owners and moms who I could relate to and connect with. All of the details were taken care of by Sarah, so it was a rare moment where I felt I could truly relax into the moment. I brought so much back from those four nights in terms of inspiration, business clarity, new friendships and a reconnection to my personal spiritual self. I highly recommend an annual retreat with Sarah - if you trust in the experience, you'll get so much out of it personally and professionally.”

  • Devon T.

    TAOS Retreat

    “Attending the Inner Wisdom and Wellness Retreat in Taos was exactly what my mind, body, and spirit needed. Sarah was communicative throughout the entire process of planning and participating in the retreat, and truly made each person in attendance feel comfortable and open to making the experience deeply personal for themselves. Through guided yoga, journaling, and meditation, I found space for inner clarity and personal reflection. There was also a nice blend of structured sessions and unstructured free time. Every detail that Sarah included—from the nourishing meals crafted by our private chef to the restorative massage and transformative breathwork session—supported our healing, insight, and deep rest. I left feeling grounded, inspired, and grateful and cannot wait for next time!”

  • Puja P.

    COSTA RICA Retreat

    "Don't think too hard about your answer to embark on this journey. Trust your heart and be ready to have it cracked open. You will come out on the other side reborn, released, and rejuvenated."

  • Bridgette M.

    TAOS Retreat

    “I want to take the time to express how much this retreat meant for me and how it has affected my life in positive ways. Abundant gratitude to you and the choices you made to make this all come together. To start, the selection of the home has so much connection, detail and made us feel welcome in so many ways. The property gave us the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Taos in the outdoors with walks, time by the water, and sessions by the rocks. Space for all to have what we needed daily. Room for all to spread out as needed and come together a the same time. The home brought connection to each of us in the way we built fast friendships. The way each room was hand selected and special gifts were placed upon our beds with our welcome note was quite lovely. Meals beautifully set each day by Chef Casey was by far one of my best food experiences I have ever had in my life. Breathwork with Aaron was a new experience for myself. It has truly helped me in daily life and how I can use breathwork to keep me better grounded as well as to be a better person.

    Thank you for making this retreat so special and life changing.”
