Join Zoë of Flow With Zoë for a transformative week at Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.

This week will be a journey in one of the most expansive, sacred, and breathtaking places on Planet Earth. Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime BOTH externally (through the landscapes we’ll explore) and internally (through reconnecting with ourselves).

Surrounded by three majestic volcanoes, vibrant Mayan communities, and centuries of ritual, connection, and wisdom, Lake Atitlán has a magnetic energy that invites you to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what truly matters.

This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and create intentional space for yourself. A space to nourish your body, quiet your mind, reconnect with your intuition, and return to the parts of yourself that often get lost in the endless doing.

Together, we’ll explore one of the most beautiful corners of the world while practicing yoga, sculpt, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness, journaling, and intentional self-study. Through movement, introspection, reflection, and community, we’ll create space to explore new perspectives, cultivate mindful thought patterns, and deepen our awareness of ourselves and the world around us.

What Can You Expect?

Our journey begins in the charming colonial city of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with colorful architecture, cobblestone streets, rooftop cafés, and rich history. This is where our group will gather for the first day. We will share a beautiful welcome dinner, meaningful conversations, and the first moments of connection that will carry us throughout the week!

If your schedule allows, we highly recommend arriving one day early to experience even more of Antigua’s magic.

On day two, we’ll make our way to our home for the week: Isla Verde, a peaceful lakefront eco-retreat center nestled on the shores of Lake Atitlán. Surrounded by lush gardens, breathtaking volcano views, and the calming energy of the lake, Isla Verde is the perfect place to unplug, recharge, and settle into the rhythm of the week. Throughout our time together, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and culture of Lake Atitlán through daily yoga, sculpt, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness practices, journaling, and intentional moments of reflection.

Our days will be balanced with nourishing locally sourced meals, meaningful cultural experiences, adventure, and plenty of time to simply be. Whether you’re relaxing by the lake, soaking in the hot tub, enjoying the temazcal sauna, journaling with a cup of tea, moving your body, hiking through the jungle, or watching the sunrise over the volcanoes, each moment is an invitation to slow down and savor the experience.

Adventure, Culture & Connection

Lake Atitlán is a place where nature, culture, and community intertwine. During our week together, you’ll have the opportunity to explore landscapes, paddle across the crystal-clear waters of the lake, hike through the surrounding mountains, jump off waterside cliffs, and discover the beauty of nearby Mayan villages.

Our cultural experiences will invite us deeper into the heart of Guatemala, from connecting with local artisans and women’s weaving cooperatives to learning about Mayan traditions, sharing meaningful conversations, and supporting the communities that make this place so special.

There will be moments of adventure and exploration, challenge, moments of stillness and reflection, moments of laughter, and moments of deep connection.

A week to MOVE your body, to OPEN your mind, and ARRIVE back in your heart center. This week will stretch you,  expand your perspective, build lifelong friendships, and bring you  magic that happens when you give yourself permission to slow down and simply be.

Come exactly as you are. Leave feeling more connected, inspired, and deeply dropped into the beautiful home thats been within you this entire time.

Lake Atitlan is a magical, 50 square mile, crater lake located in south-east Guatemala. At its deepest point, it’s over 1,100 feet! It’s approximately a 3.5 hour drive from Guatemala City and 2 hours from the beautiful colonial city of Antigua. Surrounded by majestic volcanoes and cultural Mayan villages, Lake Atitlan is the perfect place to disconnect, explore, and open your heart and perspective to what could be.

The climate at Lake Atitlan is also perfection, and incredibly complimentary for yoga classes, as well as outdoor adventuring. From January - April, daytime highs average a comfortable 75 - 80 degrees. Evenings are cooler, with temperatures in the low 60’s / high 50’s, perfect for sleeping. At a mile high in altitude, warm days of swimming and exploring are followed by cool nights in flannels by the fire, or relaxing in the wood-fired sauna.

We rank this itinerary as Activity Level 4 - Active, however, modifications are available to make it Activity Level 3 - Moderate. The retreat center is situated on the side of a hill, and participants will need to be comfortable climbing flights of stairs throughout each day. You will also need to be comfortable getting in and out of boats, and navigating unpaved, narrow pathways.  

Participants should have an expectation for climbing 8-12 sets of stone steps *without railings* if they opt for the Single Occupancy or Double Occupancy Cabins. Additionally, maneuvering around the historic, cobblestoned city of Antigua requires excellent mobility on uneven surfaces. This trip is not advised for anyone who has trouble walking or climbing without assistance.

Activity Level 1 - Easy: Expect only short walks, and short flights of stairs.

Activity Level 2 - Relaxed: Expect short walks, slight inclines, and sustained activity for only a few hours.

Activity Level 3 - Moderate: Expect slightly longer walks, and activities that correlate to a semi-active lifestyle. Participants should be comfortable with half days of touring, and walking up and down steeper inclines.

Activity Level 4 - Active: Expect longer walks, steeper inclines, and 4 - 6 hours of sustained activities, with appropriate rests. To take advantage of all the offerings, folks should lead an active life style.

Activity Level 5 - Challenging: Expect vigorous walks, hikes, kayaking, etc. Participants should be experienced in outdoor activities, and know how to prepare for, and endeavor upon full day adventures in the wild!

If you have any questions or concerns about this itinerary's Activity Level, please contact info@solseedretreats.com for more details prior to registering. 

You must have a valid passport to travel to Guatemala. Please check your passport expiration date and make sure it is valid for the time you are on your retreat.

Terms & Conditions for Retreat Participation

The purchase of travel insurance is required for this trip.

Most travel insurance policies can help protect you in the event of unexpected trip delays or cancellations due to airline disruptions, family emergencies, illness, or injury. Coverage can also help demonstrate to the host country that you are financially prepared to cover emergency services that may be needed during your stay.

SolSeed does not sell or provide travel insurance. Any insurance offers you may see during checkout are provided by third-party providers, and you are free to choose the policy and provider that best fit your needs.

If you’d like a convenient place to compare options, we’ve found InsureMyTrip to be a helpful online marketplace. We’ve also had excellent experiences with Trawick International and their customer service, and have heard consistently positive feedback from AAA and American Express members who have purchased travel insurance through those organizations. Additionally, some travel-focused credit cards—such as the Chase Sapphire® cards—may include built-in travel insurance benefits when trip-related expenses are paid with the card. Coverage and eligibility vary by card and issuer, so we recommend reviewing your card’s benefits guide or contacting the card issuer directly to confirm what protections apply.

We strongly encourage you to speak directly with a travel insurance agent to discuss your specific coverage needs and to make sure you understand what your policy does—and does not—cover.
