A Seven-Night Journey into Living Maya Wisdom
“There are places in the world where ancient wisdom is not history — it is still alive.”
Step into the living traditions of the Maya. Across seven nights on the shores of Lake Atitlán, you'll explore the fundamentals of ancestral Maya life — cosmology, the sacred calendar, ceremony, food, story and nature — guided by Tz'utujil spiritual guide Thomas and your host Sofia. A journey of deep rest, genuine cultural exchange, and remembering a wisdom the Maya have never stopped living.
The journey
Learn the sacred calendar, the 13 foundational and 20 daily energies, and discover your personal nahual in a private reading with Tz'utujil guide Thomas.
Take part in a traditional Maya sacred-fire ceremony and sound-healing journeys, held in the gardens and on the shore of the lake.
A guided day in San Juan with a backstrap-loom textile demonstration and mural tour, plus a hands-on Maya cooking class.
Daily movement and meditation, organic farm-to-table meals, and deep rest in a lakefront villa with volcano views.
