Earth Medicine
Guatemala Ceremonial Retreat
- 11-17th February 2026
- Casa Kula, Lake Atitlán
Return to the Earth
Remember Who You Are
There’s a place where the mountains speak, where the waters listen, and where your breath and your body finally soften.
A place where community feels like chosen family, where voices rise in song, where plants become teachers, and where ceremony opens the door back to your soul.
This is your invitation to come home. To yourself. To the Earth. And to a circle of like-hearted souls walking the path of healing and remembrance.
Earth Medicine is a week-long retreat on the sacred shores of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala – designed for you – who is ready to reconnect with your inner wisdom, regulate and recharge your nervous system, expand your creative expression, and root into the healing power of nature and plant magic.
This retreat is also a love note to the land we’ve each spent years healing, growing, and evolving upon – and now, with full hearts, we are honoured to share it’s magic and some of the teachers here who have shaped our paths.
Lake Atitlán
This land carries an ancient frequency – alive with Mayan tradition, volcanic power, and plant spirit medicine The lake herself is a potent teacher, great revealer and healing mother. She cleanses and restores all hearts who meet her
If you’re feeling the call, trust that it’s for a reason
We were both called here once upon a time and have found a heart home upon these shores
At Casa Kula, a beautiful earth based retreat centre, nestled above the crystalline lake and surrounded by medicinal gardens, we’ll spend seven days immersed in the elements – singing, moving, praying, creating, resting, and listening.
This is a place to clear the noise, soften your edges, and remember what it feels like to live from your heart.
