DESCRIPTION

6 Days / 5 Nights • Lake Atitlán, Guatemala • 20-25 October 2026
A 5Rhythms® Immersion into Belonging

There comes a moment when you realize you’ve been living a little “in the air.”
Capable. Moving forward. Doing what needs doing… yet not fully rooted.

ROOTS is for the in-between season—when the home you came from no longer fits, and the life you’re building hasn’t fully become home yet.

This retreat is an embodied return to belonging—not as an idea, but as a lived truth:
I belong here. In this body. In this heart. In this life.

The heart of ROOTS: 5Rhythms® every day

ROOTS is not a vacation with a little movement on the side. This is a daily 5Rhythms® practice retreat—a moving meditation that brings you home through rhythm, sweat, breath, and presence.

We’ll move what’s been held, soften what’s armored, and reclaim what’s been waiting. Through the body, we remember what the mind can’t force: belonging.

You will be held by two accredited 5Rhythms teachers—Vehllia Tranne and Alessandro Moruzzi—whose years of experience create a container that is devotional, skillful, and deeply human.

Why Guatemala. Why Lake Atitlán.

Lake Atitlán is raw beauty with a pulse; water held in a volcanic cradle, volcanoes standing like guardians, and a living Mayan cultural presence that you can feel in the land, the villages, and the sky.

This is a place that doesn’t just “help you relax.” It initiates you back into what’s essential.

Ceremony: cacao + the medicine of place

We will gather for cacao circle—a heart-opening ritual to soften what’s armored and deepen connection with yourself and the group.

And we’ll pair cacao with something even more powerful and inclusive:
the living elements of Guatemala—water from the lake, volcanic stone, firelight, breath, sound, silence.
This is a retreat where the land participates—where you don’t just visit Guatemala… you let Guatemala work on you.

Why October 2026

October holds a threshold energy—lush, alive, intimate. The land is still green, the air feels rinsed clean, and the season supports the inner work of shedding, listening, and rooting into what comes next.

This is for you if…

    you’re in transition and craving steadiness inside yourself

    you’re successful on the outside but unclaimed on the inside

    you’re ready to stop postponing your return

    you want dance as your path to clarity, healing, and belonging

Ready?

ROOTS is limited-capacity by design to keep the container intimate and the work real.
