At Villa Sumaya RETREAT on lake atilian

with SARAH OLESON

AND guest teacher

ANNA SIMI

Lake Atitlán is a sacred place… believed by the Maya to be the center of the universe. Villa Sumaya is nestled in a gorgeous landlocked bay on the north shore of the lake, and on 18 acres in the traditional homeland of the indigenous Maya. Villa Sumaya looks directly across the lake at three spectacular volcanoes.

The proximity to the equator offers a high plane semi-tropical paradise and the lake creates a powerful inverse vortex to the volcanic mountains and ridges above, creating tremendous beauty and distinct natural challenges to work with.

“This will be my second time here at Villa Sumaya… The retreat itself is beautiful.. blooming colorful plants all over the property…the lake is healing and powerful, the food is divine…and the people are the most loving and happy people I have ever met.” -Sarah
