Lake Atitlán and volcanoes — setting for the retreat programme

Programme

Six days held as one arc — clear structure, room for depth.

The spine of each day

Most days open with prayer and pranayama, then tea, movement or asana, breakfast, a strong daytime block, lunch, siesta, lecture + Q&A, dinner, evening ritual, and rest. Arrival day eases you in; closing day completes and releases you with ceremony.

Your six days, in order

No mystery about the shape of the retreat. You are entering a held arc — not a vague immersion. Times flex with the group and the land; the sequence stays true.

1

Oct 11 · Day 1

Death of habit

Release patterns that no longer serve. Arrival, settling in, opening ceremony.

2

Oct 12 · Day 2

Death of relationship

Let go of how you relate — to others, to yourself, to what was.

3

Oct 13 · Day 3

Death of ego

Somebody to nobody. The nervous system holds what the mind has forgotten.

4

Oct 14 · Day 4

Death of other

Everything is God in drag. Death of separation. Volcano hike. Ecstatic dance.

5

Oct 15 · Day 5

Death of self

Conscious Dying Ritual. Giving voice to pain. Completing the loop.

6

Oct 16 · Day 6

Going Home

White attire. Closing ceremony. You leave different than you arrived.

Chef-prepared meals — plated dishes, local produce, and nourishing drinks

Culinary experience

Daily chef-prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner served. All meals are locally grown, sourced, grass-fed, nourishing, and customizable to your personal retreat.

All of this is included in your retreat fee — nothing extra to budget for meals. Choose a vegan menu or meals with meat when you book; everything is hand-crafted, plastic and forever chemical free.

Yadi vatadi doshena mad bhakto mam na cha smaret aham smarami mad bhaktah nayami parama-gatim. (If My devotee is unable to remember Me at the time of death because of disturbances felt within the body, I shall remember My devotee and take him to My supreme abode).
