This began in the afterglow of a sacred fire ceremony, still covered in the smoke that speaks of ancestors and folklore. As we talked about what it would mean to share these traditions, a vision started to come through.

The Magic of the Maya Retreat, Oct. 31-Nov.7
✨
Walther Thomas Mendoza Cholotío , a Mayan Ajq’ij (spiritual guide), and I are creating a container where you get to see what lies at the root of your being through the lens of the Mayan calendar, deep rest and nurturing, and sacred ceremonies.
🌀
The design of this retreat is to bridge worlds, to create more coherence, and to leave the container feeling more embodied and connected to all that is sacred.

Only a few spots left! 7 nights on the shores of Lake Atitlán exploring the wisdom, cosmology, and daily life of the ancestral Maya.

YOUR FACILITATORS 🇬🇹❣️
Your guides are two Guatemalans, from very different backgrounds, but with the same intention and dream for the future. Together, they invite you into a rare opportunity to learn directly from the living spiritual traditions of the people of Lake Atitlán and rest in the beauty of nature. Thomas and Sofia work in natural rhythm. There is an ease and joy to it, as though they have been weaving beauty side by side for lifetimes. This retreat is a sacred, heartfelt offering that they are honored to share with you. Thomas is a Maya Tz’utujil spiritual guide (Ajq’ij) from San Juan La Laguna and a descendant of a long lineage of Maya healers and wisdom keepers. Raised within the living traditions of his ancestors, he shares Maya cosmology, ceremony, and sacred teachings with authenticity, humility, and devotion.

You will be deeply cared for throughout the entire journey, from the moment you step off the plane, to the moment you board the next.

We have a few spots remaining for the Magic of the Maya retreat, Oct. 31-Nov. 7, on the shore of Lago Atitlan, in Guatemala. This is a unique opportunity to sit with a Mayan wisdom keeper, my dear friend Thomas @walthomas_mendoza , and journey through the world of ancient interpretations of life, the human experience, and how we are imprinted by the cosmos.
❤️🪽
I am not your teacher, Thomas is. I will make you feel nourished, held, and supported through it all.
🦋
We will also spend a day in Thomas’ village of San Juan La Laguna and sit with Socorro, a Mayan woman who carries on the tradition of weaving stories through botanical colors and cotton. She is credited with preserving this craft for generations and won the congressional Medal of Honor for her work in building the first women’s textile cooperative on Lake Atitlan.
🌀
Payment plans are available and I am offering a $222 discount if you book before Oct. 15th. Link in bio or just send me a message to book a clarity call.

I actually got to go on a retreat. Not host one. Not cook for one. Not hold space for everyone else. I got to be a participant. To receive. And it may have been one of the nicest things I have ever done for myself.

Dina and Kendra brought the Phoenix Retreat to Villas del Carmen last year, and when they invited me to join them in Indonesia, saying yes wasn’t easy. My schedule felt impossible, and if I’m being truthful, I still have some old blocks around spending money on myself. But something in me said GO. And I’m so grateful I listened.

This trip was devotional, magical, profoundly healing…and sooo much fun! We received a water blessing at one of Bali’s most sacred places, experienced scalar healing at the Pyramids of Chi, spent a day with elephants, hiked Mount Batur, explored Hidden Canyon (which made this Utah girl feel strangely at home), swung over rice fields and ate at a Tarot-inspired restaurant where the cards chose our dining experience.

Then we capped it all off at the incredible Cap Karoso on Sumba—riding horses on the beach, swimming in the most magical lagoon I’ve ever seen, laughing, playing, resting and just BEING.

Somewhere in all of that came a reminder I really needed: I am allowed to receive, too.

I spend so much of my life creating experiences for other people. It was profoundly beautiful to let someone else create that space for me.

Suksma Kendra, Dina, all of the beautiful Phoenix ladies, Gaia Retreat Center and Cap Karoso. My heart is very, very full. ❤️

And next year Phoenix returns to Villas del Carmen. I’ll be back on the other side, helping hold the space—but maybe a little differently now that I’ve remembered what it feels like to receive. ✨

Three volcanoes. One lake. No road around it.

There is no ring road here. The villages sit on the shoreline between the volcanoes, and the only way between them is by boat. Two of them, San Marcos and Santa Cruz, are on your itinerary.

Save this one. by @sofias_wellness_

Tomorrow we start our voyage home. My heart is so full, but my goodness, I miss my boys.

Sumba gave us a glimpse into a completely different way of life. Here you are a farmer or fisherman, there is limited access to water, children start school at 7 and traditional village life remains deeply rooted in the culture. A lot of mixed emotions witnessing such contrast from home.

We learned about traditions around life and death, animal sacrifice, Christianity, Islam and Marapu ancestral beliefs. On the trees they grow jackfruit, mangoes, avocado and coconuts and learned about sirih pinang, the betel nut mixture chewed as a mild stimulant that turns the mouth bright red.

But the highlight? Finding a hidden lagoon and meeting a group of kiddos there. Of everything I’ve seen on this trip, those little humans will stay with me. My hearts with little Vita. ❤️

I also heard there is a 125 year old woman on the Island named Yora!

What a beautiful reminder of how big this world is and how much we can learn from one another.

Maybe the mountain isn’t in the way. Maybe it’s the way.

The strength. The surrender. The discipline. The faith. It’s all built on the climb.

Stop asking for an easier path. Become the woman who can walk the one in front of her.

Devotion is choosing to keep showing up. Not because it’s easy, but because something in us knows it matters.

And I think part of devotion is remembering we were never meant to hold everything alone.

There will be moments when what we’re carrying feels too heavy. When we can’t see clearly, can’t find our way through, or simply don’t have the capacity.

That’s when the circle holds it for us.

When one woman can’t carry it, the circle can. When one woman forgets who she is, the circle remembers. When one woman loses faith, the circle holds the faith until she can find her way back to it.

Maybe devotion isn’t always about being strong enough to keep going.

Maybe sometimes devotion is trusting the circle enough to let yourself be held.

This is my container. I chose it. Through it, in it, with it, the truest form of freedom arises from a place of grounded stability. It is in the embodiment of flesh and bone and breath, fully immersed and held by the Earth, where I access the mystical, the magical, the interdimensional, the divine.
💃🏻
How cool is that!? Our doorway to connecting with Spirit is through our own, human vessel.
🧘🏻‍♀️
This pool fed by mountain spring water, sprinkled with sunshine is where I go to reset. This eclipse is a time for re-setting, reprogramming, and re-patterning. Use it to create fullness in your physical body and course correct. If you need rest, rest, if you need to move, move. Embodiment is the portal.

Sweet sis-star, Erin 🌟❤️🦋
You were born on July 25th, “The Day Out of Time”, the sacred pause between galactic years, a day of rest, a day where stillness creates space and the chance to start again. And in this stillness you came to Earth, a Starseed with a gift for creating beauty and spreading love. July 25th is the New Year’s Eve or “Weyeb” of the Mayan Calendar. It is a day to celebrate timelessness, that which has no beginning, and no end….like you.
🌀
They say that those born on this day are mystical beings, capable of tapping into frequencies from the farthest corners of the Universe. You were no exception. Everyone near you could feel the magic that radiated from your heart and it changed lives and made the world a better and more beautiful place.
✨
I would not be who I am if I hadn’t met you. You made me believe that I was as magical as you. What we created together lives and breathes and holds people in a container of magic and beauty that wouldn’t exist had it not been for the stardust that your sprinkled around the land at the edge of this sacred lake.
💃🏻
Thank you for so many sweet memories, for the lessons and contractions, the expansions, the laughter and beauty we shared, and for reminding me of timelessness. I love you. 🙏🏼❤️ by @sofias_wellness_
