REWILDING WITH CEREMONY, CONNECTION, AND CREATIVITY
Who is this for?
This retreat is for those yearning for a sacred pause from the routine of everyday life through a deep homecoming to the Earth, to the body, and to the spirit. It is for those desiring a reset, a full-body exhale, a change of pace, and a safe space to commune deeply with their essence, with community, and with the wisdom of the elements.
This isn't just a retreat to "get away", it's a rooting and a recalibration into harmony with the medicine of our natural world. With rituals to revive the soul and reignite pure connection to life, you are invited to restore a deeper sense of presence, purpose, and play to carry with you long after our 6 days together.
This retreat is a rewilding to our primordial wisdom that lives deep within the elements both inside and outside of us. It is rewilding to our undomesticated creativity, authentic expression, and life force energy as we receive the medicine of the land and of our own soul embodiment.
Together we realign with your innermost Self,
return to the wisdom within, and journey through the joys and depths of discovery, creativity, and transformation in community and belonging.
This is your sacred invitation to join us—wherever you are—to receive the medicine of Lake Atitlan and offer the medicine that lives within you.
This retreat welcomes all genders and ages 21+
5 NIGHTS, 6 DAYS
NESTLED IN THE HEART OF
LAKE ATITLAN, GUATEMALA
This is more than a retreat.
it's your full-spectrum recalibration...
Modern life is not set up for living in harmony with the Earth and therefore a pace that is essential for our ability to access creative flow, a sense of safety that allows us to open into authentic connection, or the space necessary to hear the wisdom from deep within our souls
Elemental Alchemy is your pattern interrupt supporting the crucial shift from perpetual "flight or flight" into embodied regulation - restoring nervous system balance, grounded connection to Self and other, and awareness of what rhythms deeply inspire us. This is your chance to experience yourself as the alchemist of your life through learning how to draw upon the wisdom of your own inner elements (emotions/water, breath/air, body/earth, fire/spirit), work with the elements of our larger body (Earth), and utilize creative expression as a gateway to transformation & empowerment.

Testimonials
ALEJANDRA
I loved the location, it was incredibly idyllic. The food was amazing. I enjoyed learning about somatics and receiving new information around how the body and emotion works. I really enjoyed the yoga and how interesting it was. I loved the wild ecstatic dance night. All the time we spent feeling in community and with soul fam.
JULIA
The Yoga Shalla made it so that all ceremonies were extra special. Lake Atitlan was also a fantastic spiritual experience. The music aspect was beautiful! I genuinely enjoyed humming different sounds and synchronizing the intonation of everyone's voice together. So much fun! Loved it and would be honoured to get to go back one day. Thank you guys!
SANTIAGO
I came to the retreat holding so much, my heart was so closed, and felt so not in my body. After the fire ceremony, water ceremony, and authentic relating group exercises Yiz guided I was immediately back on my feet, in my heart, seeing beauty again, and feeling authentic. In this safe, immersive space, I allowed myself to be seen, I was loved in my full-spectrum, felt emotions authentically, allowed others to greet me where I was at and learned that it's safe to be exactly who I am and what I am in every given moment. I'm so grateful for this experience and was incredibly blown away the facilitation and the balance of the space holding.
GÖKHAN
Reflecting on my time at the Gaia Circle retreat feels like recounting a dream too magical to be real. It was a space where I touched the divine, felt the depths of all human emotions, and witnessed them from a place of gentle detachment. It was magical, transformational, and indescribably deep. For a moment, I felt as though I had entered heaven itself. In that space, surrounded by nature’s purity and the wisdom of those around me, I experienced a kind of healing and rejuvenation I didn’t know was possible. The people, the energy, the moments—they all came together to create something truly unforgettable. I left this experience with a lighter heart and a deeper sense of gratitude.
