Unfortunately, societal norms, expectations, and past traumas often cloud this inner voice, leading us away from our true selves, causing confusion and doubt. Join an immersive retreat in Guatemala, designed to help you reconnect with your intuition.

In Sanskrit, Sumaya means a long-awaited dream come true, while in Arabic it translates as a little piece of paradise. Both of these definitions mirror their hearts’ intentions and inspire their service. The logo is a Mayan glyph found in Chiapas, Mexico representing the fountain of life or the budding growth of a flower, and this too moves them ever forward.
Many Mayan hands have contributed to the creation of this paradise and the ongoing connection with indigenous neighbors has been mutually respectful, rich, and gratifying. Everything you find here, every brick, every paving stone, every piece of window glass and decorative tile, has been lovingly transported to Sumaya by boat and then carried by hand and a strong back to its respective location. They are beyond grateful to everyone who has participated in this great feat of endurance and dedication.

Retreat location
Villa Sumaya is located on the shores of Lake Atitlan near the village of Santa Cruz la Laguna. The 5,000-foot altitude of Lake Atitlan and its proximity to the equator offers a semi-tropical paradise often referred to as “the land of eternal spring.” The deep caldera walls of the lake form a powerful inverse vortex to the volcanic mountains and ridges above, creating powerful energies and striking natural beauty in this play of opposites.
During your week, you’ll receive daily yoga classes and workshops, healing foods, and sacred Mayan ceremonies. There is plenty of time built in to rest, receive spa services, explore, play, and adventure! The opportunity to recharge in a natural setting such as this is a true gift from Mother Earth herself. Let the practice of yoga reflect the vision of your best self in this land of serene mountains and dancing waters.
