Whatever the form of creative expression, it is encapsulated in the state of flow consciousness, a trance-like state of divine connection where time and space disappear and a portal is opened for channelling. The Shamanic Creativity Retreat offers a sparkling container for tapping into a shamanic state of connection to ignite creative freedom. Fed by the wide open views of the stunning Lake Atitlan, one of the most energetically powerful places in the world, this week-long Guatemala journey is designed to awaken the subtle receptors within us that ‘plug us in’ to nature, ourselves and to our sacred creative expression.
Dive deep using the indigenous medicine of cacao to sharpen your sensitivity and open your awareness. Explore shamanic techniques such as journeying, visualization, fire ceremony, medicine walks and traditional temezcal sauna ceremony with medicine songs from around the world. Work through the four directions of the Andean medicine wheel to draw up fuel from within. Activate your energy through practices such as yoga, dance, creative writing, musical jam, freeflow art, kirtan and flow consciousness exercises, based around themes designed to help you go deeper into your spiritual and creative process. Connect with the land and the lake through a memorable sunrise paddleboard journey, as well as free time in local indigenous villages, markets and in the beautiful Yoga Forest grounds.
Whether you are experiencing physical, emotional or creative blockages, or simply looking for reconnection and space, this magical retreat offers a haven of inspiration. We will work with you to support your creative visions and offer a space for cultivating energy, imagination and motivation around your manifestations.
Spark the wonder back into your daily experience. By creating space, we allow new creation.
