Pilgrimage to You
Villa Sumaya, Lake Atitlán, Guatemala
March 23-30, 2024
For rejuvenation. For visioning. For your soul.
It's Time to Get Away
Away from shoulds. Away from obligations. Away from the everyday.
Away from anything that isn't pure YOU.
Imagine a week of nourishing yourself with perfectly prepared meals, moving your body with a balance of meditative hikes and skillful but accessible yoga, embarking on a boat excursion to a local village, surfacing your life vision through Soul Collage, and even shaking your @ss a little - if the spirit moves you.
Nestled in the highlands of Guatemala, Lake Atitlán stands as a shimmering jewel, cradled by three towering volcanoes and lush, terraced hillsides. Revered worldwide, for millennia it has been a site of reflection and ritual. Formed by volcanic eruption over 84,000 years ago, it's name translates to "where rainbows get their colors".
Join wisdom guide Tevis Trower, Balance Integration founder/CEO, lifelong student and teacher of multiple wisdom paths, and Nixa DeBellis, ritual keeper, certified arts therapist and master yogini for a week long dip into relaxation, invigoration, dreaming about the life you want, and surfacing a vision for your life's truth. We will luxuriate for the week ensconced lakeside at beautifully appointed Villa Sumaya, renowned for indescribable views, and delectable vegetarian meals..
Your Week Away
This is a week for following your most soul-satisfying bliss.
You'll have opportunity to enjoy fire circles, learn shamanic practices on meditative morning walks, engage in the local culture both ancient and present, sip cacao and blue lotus, tuck in after bedtime storytelling, take a dip in the lakeside pool, sweat it out in the sauna, receive treatments from extraordinary healers, and (for the bold) partake in exhilarating cliff jumping into the crystal waters of one of the world's most revered, sacred lakes.
Going on vacation should feel like a treat, so all of the above are optional! You only do the activities you choose.
We make it all available. You do you.
