‘ WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS WHAT IS LOOKING’

– St Francis of Assisi

There is now more than ever a deep need to come back to ourselves. Being grounded in this inner sense of connection. 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 to raise the volume of your inner world so that you can align with you you are truly are, without the constant stimulation of the outer world.

This is where you discover your being. Only from this place, you are able to bring that unique and authentic version back into the world -  to live your soul's path.

THE HERMITAGE IS A
INITIATION & DARK RETREAT CENTER

Set on the shores of Lake Atitlan in the highlands of Guatemala.

This is a place where you can befriend your fears, return to clarity and cultivate the inner connection you have been longing for.

what happens

DURING A RETREAT

During a retreat with us you will go through a three phase process which guides you from inner turmoil to inner connection.

ARRIVAL PHASE

Here you will begin a process of letting go, slowing down and disconnecting from the outside world in order to become more intimate with yourself.

INNER TRANSFORMATION PHASE

Connect, embrace, and turn towards what is alive, comfortable or uncomfortable. You will cultivate a daily practice of anchoring in awareness.

INTEGRATION PHASE

Here you will evaluate what tools you take with after your time with us. Establish a new found sense of trust and inner connection in how you move forward and take aligned action.
