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.

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
Here you will start to 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.

They live with their children on the shores of Lake Atitlan and offer their beautiful property up for all those looking for solitude and peace.
