Embark on a journey of the soul, your transformation will last a lifetime.

Surely there is more to life than this? Like so many of us, despite our many successes, feel deep down in our soul that something is missing from our lives. A strong pull guiding us to search and ask for more out of this human experience. Many of us pour into others and not into ourselves, we become lost along the way. It is time to reconnect with your spirit, find peace, and rediscover your purpose.

Transform your mind, body, and soul by stepping out of your routine and into a beautiful and calm environment that empowers you to grow and to heal.  You will learn how to optimize your health for longevity and unlock your full potential, and you will quench your thirst for more out of this life.

Your eight-day journey of transformation takes place in Guatemala at the enchanting Lake Atitlan. embraced by three majestic volcanoes (Atitlan, Toliman, and San Pedro, the Three Giants). The Mayans believe that this beautiful lake is the navel of the world and have worshiped its healing properties for thousands of years. The lake is a healing vortex and a spiritual portal for transformation. This sacred place was nominated as one of the seven wonders of the world and is the perfect environment for healing.

Your presence is more than mere attendance; it's a call to ignite the change, reset your soul, and find your spiritual direction. Freedom, joy, happiness, and clarity await.

Stacey Nelson

I’m Stacey Nelson, an international yoga, meditation, and embodiment teacher, with over half my life dedicated to ancient wisdom traditions and cultures. My heart has a special connection to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, a place of magic, culture, and deep personal transformation.

 

In 2020, my husband and I felt an irresistible pull to Lake Atitlan after numerous serendipitous encounters. Our planned visit turned into an unexpected move, and for over a year Guatemala was our home. Surrounded by volcanoes and lush forests, the mystical lake inspires and transforms me, providing a sanctuary for growth.
 

The energy of Lake Atitlan and the rich local culture profoundly influence my practice. I share this powerful experience with others, guiding them on their paths of transformation and awakening. With extensive experience teaching worldwide, I see Guatemala as the ideal place for deep, impactful shifts—fostering healing, growth, and connection.

Come explore the magic of Guatemala with me, and let the land and culture transform you.

Cesar Lara

I am fortunate to have been born in Guatemala, with 49% of my ancestral genetic lineage being Mayan. Growing up in Guatemala City, I cherished childhood memories of praying to one day help those who were sick and in need. Fast forward to today: I grew up in Chicago and have become a successful physician, caring for thousands of patients with various western illnesses. My journey has led me to embrace functional medicine, appreciating that while the western model is effective at alleviating symptoms, it often falls short in addressing the root causes of ailments or achieving true healing.

 

Blessed with the opportunity to return to my roots, I now collaborate with Mayan Lightworkers to offer an awakening and healing experience for those seeking to heal their body, mind, and spirit. Together, we integrate the wisdom of ancient Mayan and Incan perspectives in one of the most beautiful, energetically charged, and serene places on Earth.
