Open Heart Retreat

Lake Atitlán in Guatemala

January 29-February 4, 2027

Come away with us to Lake Atitlán for a week of movement, connection, adventure, and deep rest.

The Open Heart Retreat is your chance to step out of your everyday routine and reconnect—with yourself, with nature, and with a group of incredible women doing the same.

Our days will start with energizing vinyasa flows overlooking the lake, followed by time to journal, reflect, and just be. Throughout the week, we’ll drop into breathwork circles with Kristin Royseland, creating space to release, reset, and open up in a deeper way.

Evenings are all about winding down with slow, grounding yin before bed.

What’s included:

  • 1 Night in Antigua, 5 Nights at Casa Paloma

  • Daily vinyasa + nightly yin

  • Meditation, journaling and breathwork sessions

  • Chef-prepared meals

  • Lake access right from the property

  • 10 min walk to San Marcos

  • 2 curated excursions and 1 ceremony around Lake Atitlán

Come with an Open Heart.

This week isn’t about doing more—it’s about making space for more.

More connection. More rest. More clarity. More time for yourself.

Come ready for adventure, a lot of presence, and the kind of reset that actually stays with you.

Casa Paloma

The Main House

Pajaro: The Aviary in the Sky

  • Pájaro sits at the very top of the villa, reached by a spiral staircase, with treetop views and a private balcony perfect for morning coffee or stargazing. The room has a lot of personality — a living tree branch forms a bench beside an avocado-wood writing desk, and a skylight lets the moonlight in. A grand balcony looks out over the lake and volcanoes, and if you sleep with the windows open, you'll wake up to birdsong.

    One thing to know: Pájaro's private bathroom is reached by a second spiral staircase leading back downstairs. It's part of the charm, but if stairs are a concern, this one might not be the right fit.

    Capacity: 2 double beds

    Bathroom: Private (down a spiral staircase)

    Location: Main house, near the shores of the lake

  • Shared with one other person. $0 per person.

Estrella: The Stargazer’s Sanctuary

  • Estrella is a second-floor room with sweeping views of the volcano and lake — and a skylight perfect for stargazing. The room features antique furnishings, a balcony with hand-carved coffee wood railings, and a deep soaking tub. Just outside is a private garden with a hammock, outdoor shower, and fireplace. Fair warning: there are no curtains, so early risers will feel right at home.

    Capacity: 1 queen

    Bathroom: Private

    Location: Main house, on the shores of the lake

Bambu

  • Bambu is a cozy, simply appointed room with a queen bed, a small desk, a private bathroom, and a lake view. A great choice if you're looking for the most economical option — comfortable, private, and with that view, anything but lacking.

    Capacity: 1 queen bed

    Bathroom: Private

    Location: Main house

  • Private room for one person. $00

Tuk Tuk (a sunny haven)

  • Tuk Tuk is a ground-floor room full of color and handcrafted detail — named for the painting of the little vehicles that zip through town. The room features a built-in desk, handcrafted wall art, handmade Mexican dolls, and a gorgeous hand-crafted candelabra. Both beds are draped with curtains, so sleepers can rest easy while the morning sun does its thing.

    A wall of windows opens onto a private patio with a hanging basket chair and built-in bench — a lovely spot to unwind. Even the bathroom has a view.

    One practical note: Tuk Tuk has limited internet, but step out to your patio and you'll have a signal — and a pretty great view to go with it.

    Capacity: 2 queen beds

    Bathroom: Private

    Location: Ground floor, main house
