Transformative Women's Healing Retreat | Lake Atitlán, Guatemala

You've Spent Years Surviving.

It's time to start living.

The Butterfly

Lake Atitlán, Guatemala October 9–17, 2026 Only Six Women

To the Woman Who Is Ready

It may not feel like readiness.

It may feel like frustration that will not lift. Pressure building with nowhere to go. A need for relief you can no longer ignore.

Or it may feel like you cannot take another day inside the same life. The same patterns. The same reality. The same version of yourself holding it all together.

There is almost a desperation to it. A desperation to change.

Not because you are failing.

Because something in you knows you were not meant to keep living this way.

You were not born to carry this much. The roles. The armor. The careful, constructed version of yourself you built to survive a world that asked you to be smaller than you are.

It isn't personality. It's armor. And armor that once saved your life becomes the very thing that keeps you from living it.

This is where you break through instead of break down.

The place you are standing in may feel uncomfortable, and that may be putting it lightly. But it is fertile ground, teeming with possibility you have not touched yet.

The contrast showing itself so plainly can feel like a slap in the face.

But it is information.

And when we lean in and meet what has been waiting underneath the frustration, you change. And your life changes with you.

This is The Butterfly.

She was born with everything she needed to transform already within her.

But before she can fly, she must dissolve.

Completely.

Caterpillar into goo.

Formless before she reforms.

The butterfly does not fight the cocoon.

She surrenders to it.

And then she flies.

This is your initiation.

Welcome.

What this actually is

A healing intensive,
disguised as a retreat.

From the outside, it looks like paradise. Volcanoes, sacred water, ceremony, rest.

And it is all of that.

But underneath the beauty, something far deeper is happening.

This is the work you have circled for years, held in a container beautiful enough, and safe enough, to let you finally surrender to it.

Where we go

Every Layer. Down to the Root.

We don't manage symptoms.

We follow the thread.

Down to the root.

Most approaches ask, "How do we make this feel better?"

We ask a different question.

Where did this begin?

Because the symptom is rarely the problem.

It's the messenger.

I

The Inner Child

The younger self who first learned to shrink, people-please, overachieve, disconnect, or survive.

II

The Ancestral Line

The inherited beliefs, grief, emotional wounds, and survival strategies carried through the family line.

III

The Soul

The deeper imprint carried beyond this lifetime, the pattern that seeks resolution through the soul's journey.

Ancestral ceremony altar and ritual setting

We meet the wound where it lives.

In the mind.

In the body.

In the energy.

In the lineage.

In the soul.

Because when you heal the root, everything above it changes.

Elemental Magic

The elements are our earliest ancestors.
They are the very fabric of our being.

Long before there were books on healing, therapeutic modalities, or names for trauma, there was Earth beneath our feet, Water flowing through our bodies, Fire transforming what no longer served, Air filling our lungs with life, and Ether holding the unseen intelligence that connects all things.

Long before we learned to heal one another, they were already teaching us how.

At Lake Atitlán, those teachings are alive.

Held within the embrace of three ancient volcanoes, this land carries a wisdom that cannot be explained.

It can only be experienced.

Earth

She teaches us to root before we rise. Earth steadies the nervous system, reconnects us to our ancestors, and reminds us that even after life's greatest storms, we are still held.

Water

Water remembers. She softens what has become hardened, carries away what no longer belongs to us, and restores the natural flow that has always existed beneath our pain.

Fire

Fire is sacred transformation. She burns away the identities, beliefs, and survival patterns that have fulfilled their purpose, revealing the truth waiting beneath the ashes.

Air

Air expands awareness. She clears the noise of the mind, opens new possibilities, and reminds us that every breath is an opportunity to choose a different way of being.

Ether

Ether is the unseen thread from which everything is woven. It is where healing becomes wisdom, wisdom becomes embodiment, and transformation becomes your new way of living.

They are living medicine.

Every ceremony, workshop, private session, and intentional moment of rest has been carefully aligned with the element it embodies.

The land is not merely the setting for your healing.

It becomes one of your guides.

The Thread

Ceremony is the thread that weaves everything together.

Every workshop.

Every private session.

Every ritual.

Every shared meal.

Every conversation.

Every moment of stillness.

Every element.

Nothing stands alone.

Each experience prepares you for the next, creating one continuous arc of transformation.

This isn't seven days of activities.

It's one sacred initiation.

The Arc of Transformation

Every day prepares you for the next descent.

Eight nights. Seven full days. One continuous ceremonial container designed to honor the rhythm of your nervous system.

Friday, Oct 9 · Arrival

The Soft Landing

Arrival day at Lake Atitlán
AfternoonGrounding arrivals, room check-ins, and settling into the land.
EveningWelcome dinner and meeting your retreat facilitators and guides.
CeremonyOpening Cacao Ceremony and traditional Despacho ritual to align our collective intentions.
NightDaily Integration Circle to anchor the container.

Why Today Matters

Before anything opens, your body needs to know it has arrived. This first evening is not about beginning the work. It is about landing safely enough to allow the work to begin.

Saturday, Oct 10 · Day 1

Earth: Roots & Ancestors

Traditional temezcal ceremony space
MorningEarth Yoga and Nervous System Grounding.
AfternoonAncestral Patterns Workshop, unearthing the inherited blueprints.
BufferA mandatory 2-hour hydration, rest, and personal reflection window.
EveningTraditional Temezcal Ceremony, a physical and lineage sweat lodge purge.
NightDaily Integration Circle for the physical and ancestral release.

Why Today Matters

Earth comes first because the nervous system cannot transform what it does not feel safe enough to touch. Before retrieval, before fire, before the subconscious opens, we root.

Sunday, Oct 11 · Day 2

Water I: The Retrieval & Mirror

MorningWater Yoga and Group Shamanic Soul Retrieval Ceremony for the Inner Child.
Buffer2.5-hour extended integration and lunch buffer by the water to let retrieved fragments gently settle.
AfternoonPrivate QRM Round 1 sessions to map core stories and current life blocks.
NightDaily Integration Circle to weave the retrieved fragments and mirrors.

Why Today Matters

Water begins the return. This is where we meet the younger self, not to analyze her, but to bring her back into the safety of the present.

Monday, Oct 12 · Day 3

Water II: Cleanse, Restore & Anchor

MorningWaterfall hike and sacred water cleansing ceremony.
AfternoonTrack swap: Deep Muscle Recovery Massages and private QRM Round 2 sessions.
EveningDinner and soft landing after the day's work.
NightMoonlight Sound Bath. No formal circle. You drift straight to sleep in a floating state.

Why Today Matters

After retrieval comes cleansing. The waterfall washes through what has been named, while massage helps the body release what the mind alone cannot finish.

Tuesday, Oct 13 · Day 4

Fire: The Sacred Crucible

Sacred rage and fire ceremony with volcano view
MorningFire Yoga and private boat ride to a traditional Mayan Fire Ceremony led by a local indigenous shaman.
Buffer2.5-hour grounded breathing space to integrate the shamanic fire.
AfternoonSacred Rage Workshop, moving stuck and suppressed anger out of the tissues.
EveningSacred Rage Fire Ritual and optional Hapé medicine.
NightDaily Integration Circle to hold the raw, post-rage release.

Why Today Matters

Fire does not come first. It arrives only after Earth has grounded and Water has softened. By then, the body is ready to release what it has been carrying in silence.

Wednesday, Oct 14 · Day 5

Steam: Subconscious Portal I

Steam day subconscious portal and somatic integration
MorningSomatic Yoga and Somatic Grounding.
All DayTrack A enters private 2-hour QHHT Subconscious Journeys with your lead practitioner.
All DayTrack B receives Sacred Mayan Abdominal Womb Massages with local practitioners and quiet lineage integration in the Sanctuary.
NightDaily Integration Circle to bring both tracks together.

Why Today Matters

Only after the body has grounded, retrieved, cleansed, and burned do we open the deeper subconscious. The portal comes when the system is ready to enter it.

Thursday, Oct 15 · Day 6

Air: Mental Clearance & Portal II

Air day breathwork and expansion image
MorningAir Yoga.

7 PMDinner together.
NightDaily Integration Circle. All 1-on-1 therapeutic work is officially complete.

Why Today Matters

Air clears the inner field. The mind opens, the breath expands, and the final subconscious work completes the deeper arc before the retreat moves into embodiment.

Friday, Oct 16 · Day 7

Ether: Pure Emergence & Celebration

Ether day zipline and joyful integration image
All DayZero processing. Zero sessions. Stepping out of the work and into living the shift through joy, nature, and play.
FlowMorning Ether Yoga, Butterfly Reserve, ziplining, and afternoon shopping and exploring town together.
EveningCycle Breaking and Lineage Blessing Ceremony, followed by the Final Sacred Celebration Dinner.
NightFinal Daily Integration Circle to seal the container and lock in the medicine.

Why Today Matters

The final day is not more processing. It is proof of integration. You practice joy, presence, sisterhood, and choice from the woman who has begun to emerge.

Saturday, Oct 17 · Departure

The Return

MorningEarly farewell breakfast, closing hugs, and coordinated airport transfers.
ReturnYou leave held by the thread of what has been revealed, released, remembered, and reclaimed.

Why Today Matters

The retreat ends, but the work does not disappear. You return with a different relationship to the patterns that once shaped your life.

The itinerary may soften slightly to honor weather, ceremony, and the needs of the group. The arc remains.

Why Six Women

Deep work does not belong in a crowd.

Your story has space.

Your nervous system has space.

Your silence has space.

You are not attendee number forty-eight.

You are one of six women we commit ourselves to fully.

In their own words

Women who crossed the threshold

"The healing I experienced, physiological, psychological, and spiritual, was immediate, profound, and lasting. Four months later, the shifts remain just as strong. I know they are permanent."

"Tori and Tye are truly all-in when it comes to supporting anyone seeking healing or spiritual transformation. Their connection to healing energy is real, powerful, and deeply felt. This retreat changed my life, and I am forever grateful. I believe in their work so much that I would gladly speak with anyone who is unsure about taking this step."

Karen B. — Butterfly Retreat

Held by the Land

The lake is not a backdrop.
She is part of the medicine.

Cradled in the highlands and encircled by three ancient volcanoes, Lake Atitlán has long been known as a place of depth. Water moves with quiet intelligence. Earth steadies. Fire rests beneath the surface. Air opens the breath. Ether weaves it all together.

This is not scenery.

It is a living participant in the work.

A Retreat Graduate's Words

"Worth way more than it cost."

"The level of healing and transformation attained in a single week astounds me. As a Nurse Practitioner, I can tell you that for deep healing, you can't do better than this. Areas of chronic pain have vanished. I feel lighter, clearer, and calmer."

"Tori and Tye are so beautifully connected to grace and to spirit that you will want to keep them in your life forever. And you get to do this in paradise, surrounded by the volcanoes and magical waters of Lake Atitlán. This was worth way more than it cost."

Book Your Complimentary Clarity Call

We begin with a conversation, not a contract. Payment plans are available. Your seat can be gifted or rolled to a future retreat if life shifts.

Before you ask

Questions, answered honestly

Is Guatemala safe?

Yes. We live here full-time and are raising our children here. Lake Atitlán is one of the most peaceful, conscious places we have ever known. We handle every transfer from the moment you land, so you are never navigating anything alone.

What if I have never done work like this?

You do not need experience. You need willingness. Some women arrive having done years of healing, others are crossing this threshold for the first time. The container holds both.

Who is this actually for?

The woman who has held everything together for a long time and can feel that something deeper is asking to be met. If something stirred while reading this, that stirring is information.

What is the group size?

Six women. Never more. Deep work requires a small, safe container where you are truly seen, not lost in a crowd.

What if I need to cancel?

Life shifts, and we hold that with grace. Your seat can be gifted to someone else or rolled forward to a future retreat. We talk through everything on your clarity call.

Getting Here

Once you land,
we hold the rest.

Fly into Guatemala City (GUA). Airfare is the one travel cost not included, and we help you plan it.

Your private driver meets you at the airport and brings you all the way to the lake.

You arrive at the residence, exhale, and let your body register that you are here.

Everything after that, every transfer and every logistic, is held for you.

We know this route intimately. You are guided through the same trusted arrival we use for our own family. You are never navigating anything alone.

The threshold

If you've followed the thread this far...

Perhaps a part of you already knows.

Trust that.

We'd be honored to meet you for a complimentary Clarity Call and help you discern whether The Butterfly is your next step.

We'll meet you at the threshold.
