Fire of Transformation Retreat
Alchemy in Action at Villa Sumaya, Guatemala
February 27- March 6, 2027
In February 2027, we gather on the shores of Lake Atitlán — a place of extraordinary natural beauty and deep spiritual heritage — for a week of focused practice, meaningful connection, and conscious transformation. This is more than just a yoga retreat; this is an investment in your path of self-actualization. This retreat is designed to increase physical, energetic, psychological, and spiritual harmony and vitality.
Nestled between powerful volcanoes and rooted in living Mayan culture, Villa Sumaya offers more than stunning views. It offers a container — peaceful, intentional, and quietly potent.
Fire of Transformation is my signature retreat offering. It is about working skillfully with the inner fire of practice. This is a week-long, immersion-style retreat designed to support the transformation of stuck or stagnant energy and cultivate a more harmonious way of living. Through intentional practice, guided inquiry, and embodied experience, participants will develop deep introspective awareness of the areas of life that are in harmony and those that are calling for realignment. Together, we create a focused container where insight becomes integration, and inner work translates into meaningful, sustainable change.
Throughout our time together, we will explore fire on many levels:
Each day will include:
Morning Sadhana practice
Afternoon practice, including workshops surrounding lifestyle and philosophical exploration
Time to rest, swim, journal, or simply sit by the lake
Nourishing vegetarian meals
Space for genuine community and quiet restoration
This retreat is immersive. It is designed to challenge you in ways that feel constructive and supportive. We will generate heat—physically, mentally, and spiritually—but always within a thoughtful, grounded framework.
Included in the Retreat:
7 Days of Alchemical Practice and Workshops
Beautiful accommodations
3 Vegetarian Meals per day
Transportation to and from the retreat center from Guatemala City or Antigua
Mayan Fire Ceremony
Excursion to a local community of artisans

Throughout our time together, we will explore fire on many levels:
- Through Practice – Daily Tantric Hatha–Raja Yoga is designed to build strength, clarity, and energetic precision. Expect intelligent sequencing, breath-centered movement, and meditation that steadies the mind.
- Through Reflection – Guided inquiry and contemplative sessions that support psychological integration, trauma release, life transition understanding, and meaningful insight.
- Through Ceremony – Participation in a traditional Mayan Fire Ceremony led by local wisdom keepers, honoring Indigenous culture and the sacred relationship to land and element. The retreat will also include options for sacred sweat in a sweat lodge as well as other healing ceremonies.
- Through Place – Lake Atitlán was formed by volcanic force. The land itself teaches renewal, resilience, and transformation.
