    Mindfully Engaging Guatemala

    Practicing the art of mindful travel in Antigua and Lake Atitlan

    We know that magical, time-stopping moments in travel occur when we are fully present and fully attentive. We also know that even the most experienced travelers can find the goal of staying in the present moment to be elusive. Our minds are wild companions. They have a way of getting busy with worry or planning or comparison-making so that, for brief interludes, we forget where we are. On this trip, each day we practice various techniques for staying in the present moment, including mindful movement, sitting meditation and informal practice.  In so doing we set the intention to quiet our minds and create the space for full, multi-sensory, joyful engagement.

    Visit two spectacularly beautiful, accessible, and welcoming locales in Guatemala -- the charming colonial town of Antigua, and the stunning lakeside at Atitlan. Stay in two unique small hotels set in exquisite gardens. Enjoy hosted visits in traditional Mayan villages, hands-on activities with local artisans, guided explorations of ancient Mayan sites, and walks in stunning natural areas.

    Our mindfulness teachers are available to travel with your group, on your dates, for a unique experience of this beautiful country.
