Elemental Harmony Retreat
November 3rd - 8th, 2019
@ Casa CobAnanda, Lago Atitlan, Guatemala
with CJ Ananda & Coby & Gaiaji
Join us in the magical lake town of Tzunun'a where we will explore the transformation that is brought by each of the elements. We approach our studies holistically, delving into the true nature of being by examining how we resonate with Earth, Water, Fire, and Air.
You will be guided through this transformative experience at our brand new retreat space in the mystical town of Tzunun'a (Kaqchikel for "Home of the Hummingbird"). You will arise to epic views of Lake Atitlan where you will enjoy the peace and quiet of a true immersion with nature. Our accommodations are rustic (tents) but comfortable (futons, blankets, shelves etc.).
The natural world is our greatest teacher and our new space is a harmonious co-creation with the Spirits of the land. Purify thyself with Western, Ayurvedic, and Shamanic cleansing techniques and discover the perfection that lies within. Immerse in daily lessons to discover ancient Shamanic teachings.
Each day we will participate in activities that facilitate the purification and harmonization of the elements in the body. Activities Include:

Day 3
Element: Air
Activites: Yoga, Sweat, Plant Bath, Tai-Chi, Cacao & Sound
Description: A full day of rest and restoration. In addition to journaling and sharing about our washuma experience, we will have time to hike, bathe, sweat, practice yoga, tai chi, and come together at night for a singing circle. During this epic day of relaxation, we will focus on the Energy of Air, allowing ourselves to be guided by our breath, opening up communication, flowing with movement, and surrendering to the omni-present energy of change.
Day 4
Element: Fire
Activities: Yoga, Rest, Plant Bath, Darshan and Grandmother AYA!
Description: Offering.... We will spend much of the morning resting in preparation for our final offering to the land. In order to court the local spirits we will take plant baths. Finally, we will sit together with Grandmother Aya in ceremony and celebration!
Day 5
Element: Ether
Activities: Darshan, Sharing, Journaling, Closing, Plant Bath
Description: Ether is formless and so to is day 5 of our retreat. It is a day for reflection, contemplation, processing, and preparing for integration. We will sit quietly and allow the wisdom that has been shared during the week time to integrate into our being. With little structure, we will offer meals and plant baths. All will be welcome to stay on the land and integrate, or transition onward.
*Our last formal activity is a sharing circle over brunch on Day 5 after which the circle will be closed. We highly recommend staying an extra night for a slower reintegration (no additional cost).

The Venue: Casa CobAnanda

This unique space was designed by Coby and Ananda in collaboration with our great Mother Earth. It is not a retreat space, but a home built for our community, and we welcome you with open arms and great love. In order to build in harmony with nature, Coby and Ananda are employing natural building techniques. This organic construction process is intensional and slow, so all rooming will be in tents for this retreat.
Enjoy short walks to beautiful waterfalls and the magnificent Lake Atitlan or relax on the property and enjoy the incredible view of the Volcanoes Atitlan and Toliman. |

Testimonial

Hi Tribe,
I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that my path has crossed with Coby and Ananda. Since the Elemental Harmony Retreat I have felt a huge shift already (just ended a week ago!), feeling more open, lighter and true to myself. As a result i have made some beautiful connections and friendships and it was so special to share with these wonderful souls. Everyone who attended the retreat had a beautiful, powerful and transformational experience. This time for me, every ceremony we've shared, has been all about expansion, connection and release. I walk away with new lessons and plenty of homework to work on before my next retreat... I can't wait! I’m so excited! Thank you thank you thank you!
