A RETURN TO THE WOMB OF THE WORLD
EXHALE
WOMENS RETREAT
NOVEMBER 14TH-19TH 2025
Join us for 5 nights at the Ixbalam retreat center, Located in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.
•
There is a lake in the highlands of Guatemala said to be the umbilical cord of the Earth—a place where the soul remembers her beginning.
Beneath her mirrored waters live the myths we forgot we were part of. The first song. The first story. The first thread of creation moving through a woman’s hands.
• •
In this sacred cradle of volcanoes and starlight, we gather not to become artists, but to remember that we already are. Through word, through voice, through laughter and rest—we soften, we open, and we listen.
• • •
Welcome to a sanctuary for remembrance.
A return to the mythic heart.
The place inside you that still believes in beauty.
That knows your voice is a gift.
That says: you were born to create.
Come write. Come sing. Come play. Come remember. Or just BE.
When + Where.
WHEN // NOVEMBER 14TH-19TH 2025
WHERE // Lake Atitlan, Guatemala on a secluded bay 5 minutes walk from the holistic town of San Marcos La Laguna, part of Cerro Tzan Kujil’s protected natural reservation.
The Intention.
