A Transformational Yoga + Wellness Retreat in Guatemala
Hosted by Jessi Rae | Kawoq Forest, Lake Atitlán | April 10th-17th, 2026
Eco-Conscious in the Heart of the Forest
Discover a sanctuary where comfort meets sustainability, and the forest itself is part of your stay. Nestled among the trees above Lake Atitlán, Kawoq Forest was built with reverence for the land — adobe, bamboo, cypress, and palm harmonize with the jungle, creating spaces that feel both grounding and refined.
Each handcrafted room holds a story — with views of volcanoes, forest canopy, or the glimmering lake. From cozy bungalows tucked into the greenery to airy suites that open to sunrise, this sacred space invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and return home to yourself.
About the Retreat
Over six nights and seven days, we’ll gather in community to reconnect with rhythm, balance, and vitality — through yoga, movement, nourishment, nature, and rest.
You’ll experience:
Daily Yoga, Breathwork, Meditation, & Movement guided by Jessi Rae
Guided nature hikes through the Guatemalan highlands ($75 value included)
Traditional Mayan Temazcal Ceremony — a purifying, heart-opening sweat lodge experience ($55 value included)
Ample time for stillness, journaling, and exploration around San Marcos La Laguna
Every element is crafted to help you unwild, re-align, and feel deeply rooted — body, mind, and spirit.
