Overview
Lake Atitlan, a striking caldera surrounded by three volcanoes, is the ideal setting to blend adventure-filled days with time for reflection and personal growth. The lake is often described as having a magnetic pull and mystical air, inviting visitors to reflect while gazing into the deep blue water or mist that clings to the peaks surrounding the lake. Each small town around the lake has different character that you can experience easily as you take water taxis around the lake. We will stay on the quieter north side of the lake where we can enjoy stunning views of the caldera during the daily yoga practice. We'll travel between towns by boat for fun-filled adventures: paddle boarding, cliff jumping, swimming in the lake, mountain biking and a special sunrise hike to the rim of the crater. As with everything, the people you share the adventure with truly make the experience. We will cultivate an amazing group of women to talk through shared experiences as entrepreneurs and business executives. The retreat's dual focus on adventure and personal growth provides time to clear your mind through movement, as well as reflect in group sessions and through guided journaling.
