Ripples: An Intimate Retreat on Lake Atitlán
With Jessi and Zach
March 2 - 6, 2026
This all-inclusive experience invites you to explore the vibrant Maya cultures, traditions, and landscapes of this sacred region while reflecting on the ripples we can create within ourselves and in the world.
Each day offers a balance of movement, reflection, cultural exploration, and time in nature—allowing you to feel the subtle ripples of transformation that will extend long after your return home.
This retreat provides the perfect balance between rest and relaxation in one of the world’s most beautiful settings, engaging in cultural knowledge and making an impact in the community.
Our arrival day includes transportation from the airport and via boat to Casa Floresta. During our retreat, we will honor and learn from traditional Mayan Fire Ceremony guided by Tata Walter as well as traditional Mayan weaving and natural dying by Lema Women’s Cooperative. We will visit and build relationships with two long standing local NGOs: Konojel and Escuela Caracol. For decades we’ve been collaborating with these projects and are thrilled to be able to share with you all they are doing to create lasting impact.
Through shared meals, guided practices, and intentional connection, you’ll have time to pause, play and listen deeply to your own heart, the community, and the miraculous natural world that supports us all.
Come as you are.
Leave with a deeper sense of purpose, belonging, and the reminder that every ripple matters.
