REJUVENATE your body, reset your mind, rewild your soul
16-22 February 2023
Mystical Yoga Farm, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
♡
Note: this is a women only retreat
The sun breaks over a volcano, flooding the sky with light, as a golden glimmer glides across the oh-so-magical Lake Atitlan.
Sunlight sweeps across the sacred land where the Mystical Yoga Farm resides, warming everything it touches.
You awaken to the sounds of nature, feeling refreshed after a blissful sleep, held by the land, in the cool night air.
As you arise — it’s quiet, peaceful, serene.
You make your way to the community kitchen, sharing quiet morning smiles, and pour yourself a cup of fresh herbal tea.
Beverage in hand, you stroll to the yoga shala — soaking in the delicate beauty of the diverse gardens lining the pathway.
Our group morning practice begins with a guided meditation followed by yoga asana and pranayama — movement + breath.
You feel centered, grounded and clear minded.
The gong sounds. We all move back to the kitchen and are greeted with a spectacular vegetarian spread to break our fast.
You connect with your soul sisters and life is GOOD.
welcome to every morning of your retreat.

After breakfast you have some free time.
Maybe you explore…
You connect with sisters…
You write in your journal or read a book…
You simply soak in the sun or take a dip in the lake…
This is your retreat to do as you please.
Continue doing your own thing, or meet us for a playshop before gathering for community lunch!
After lunch there will be more free time as we prepare for our special ceremony of the day — some days ceremony will be held before dinner, some after. These experiences include:
Sound Healing
Cacao + Ecstatic Dance
Temazcal (Traditional Mayan Sauna)
Breathwork + Mystical Drum Journey
Sacred Fire Ceremony
We’ll gather again as a community for a delicious vegetarian dinner, prepared by our chef, with all local ingredients. Meals at the Mystical Yoga Farm are all vegetarian while also being balanced, filling and (omg so) delicious. Please let us know if you have any special dietary needs!
After dinner we will have Satsung — a gathering designed for connection and sharing. Activities will include:
Sister Circles
Song + Drum Circles
Music in the Om Dome (you’ll see)
More Sacred Fires (because they are the best)
sounds glorious — but want to know what you will take home from this experience?
keep going…

You will move and release stuck energy + trauma
You will discover your depth + your own magic
Our playshops will teach you the innate healing power of your own body + guide you in exploring more of the feminine way.
This is where we make sense of it all — where the mind gets to understand the mystical experience in a comprehensive way.
You will learn how to alchemize your emotions
You will connect with your feminine energy + power
You will experience new ways of BEing in life
Sisterhood and community living is the glue that holds everything together — the support, witnessing and mirror.

I spent an entire month living at the Mystical Yoga Farm in 2016, immersed in my Yoga Teacher Training. It was the most magical month of my life — and my life is often filled with magic! I cannot begin to express the joy I feel in getting to bring you back to this sacred land with me — to rejuvenate, deepen and awaken forgotten parts of yourself.

WHO AM I?
I am an Empowerment and Healing Mentor + Creatrix Coach for Soulful Women + Visionaries. For the Wild Women who are breaking the mold.
It is my mission to liberate the feminine and help women to reclaim personal power, pleasure, intuitive wisdom and raw creative life force — to unleash her from patriarchal conditioning; unbind her from generational, collective and personal trauma; and empower her to take back her throne as a true equal force in this world.
My own journey began when my life was taken from me through many years of domestic abuse (as a teen and young adult) followed by many more years suffering CPTSD. Coming from a very healthy and happy childhood, I KNEW that something had truly changed within me — and that I could change it back. I decided I’d stop at nothing to find healing, to find my way home to me. And so I did.
Over the past 6+ years I have studied and trained in the mystical realms of spirituality, meditation, Yoga, breathwork, ecstatic dance, sound healing and more - AND - the science and psychology behind why these things work. The integration of mind, body, spirit and emotions is at the core of my methodology — along with the marriage of science & spirit. I am trained in facilitating the healing of trauma through somatic processing and working within the body where trauma gets stuck. As a lifelong student in my craft — my healing becomes your healing; my awakening becomes your awakening — and I am so honored to be of service.
