‘ WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS WHAT IS LOOKING’

THE HERMITAGE IS A
SOLITARY & DARK RETREAT CENTER
Set on the shores of Lake Atitlan in the highlands of Guatemala.
Come befriend your fears, return to clarity and cultivate the inner connection you have been longing for.
Why do a retreat with us?
Most of us have grown up learning to outsource our inner sense of truth and are now in desperate need to come back to ourselves again. Being grounded in this inner sense of connection is essential to our ability to thrive in life.
The Hermitage provides a safe place to retreat from your daily life. Here, you have the unique opportunity to cultivate inner stillness and align with who you truly are without the external noise of the outside world.
This is where we return to the truest version of ourselves, and only from this place we are then able to bring that unique and authentic version back into the world to live our soul's purpose.

ACCOMODATION

All cabins and rooms have a stunning view of the surrounding volcanoes and lake, access to our extensive gardens full of fruit trees and flowers and a private beach front for swimming.
Our two purpose-built Dark Retreats offer those with a steady meditation practice the opportunity to retreat alone in complete darkness and sensory deprevation.
