Sabrina - Guatemala 2023
I spent three months with Salma last winter and I always felt so supported by her. She has led me through many classes in yoga and meditation and I am always so inspired by her way of holding space so beautifully with so much love, care, and presence...Her classes are so creative and like something I have never experienced in my years of practicing yoga. She took me on a journey through the class for an experience much deeper than the physical asana, it was chance for self discovery.
Emily - Tulum 2023
My retreat with Kristen last year was such a blessing. yoga, ceremony, ritual, tarot, meals…. all designed for me by a woman who pays beautiful attention to detail and is generous in the sharing of her many gifts. Her ability to hold space, create ritual, and channel the things you need is incredibly special and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunities to experience her!
Aspen - Guatemala 2024
Salma is an extraordinary spaceholder and yoga teacher who creates a sanctuary for transformation...Her passion radiates through her practice, creating a space that feels both grounding and expansive.
What sets Salma apart is her ability to truly listen. She holds space with an open heart, offering valuable feedback that feels deeply attuned and supportive...If you're considering attending her retreat, I can't recommend it enough-it will be a soul-nourishing experience you'll carry with you long it's over.
Enter a dream world of nourishment, relaxation, and elemental magic
In this immersive retreat, you’ll be led through a journey of ceremonies, meditations, yoga classes, and elemental practices to help you remember your inner light, joy, and magic.
We’ll work with one element a day to heal and rejuvenate on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. You’ll learn practices you can use in every day life that call upon each element’s wisdom to protect, clear, and manifest.
You’ll also get time to bask in the beauty of nature from a hammock, eat nourishing meals made with love, and spend time lounging in the hot tubs or swimming in the lake.

The Magic of the
Magician card
Awaken the Magician Within
The Tarot is a sacred technology based upon the Tree of Life that maps our soul’s journey into the world and its process of ascension. By studying and communing with the Tarot, we are looking into a magic mirror, which helps reveal to us where our soul is upon its journey. We can see ourselves from other perspectives and help find our next steps in evolution. This process of changing challenges into growth opportunities is often referred to as inner alchemy. This is the work we will embark upon together.
The Magician Key of the Major Arcana, is the path that reveals to us our power as divine sparks. The Magician is often depicted as having 4 tools upon an altar. These tools represent the four elements and the four sides of humans (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). By learning to wield the elements present in our world, we quite literally become magician, able to protect our energy, clear blockages, and manifest our dreams with their wisdom and help.
We open the retreat by contemplating the mystery of the Magician and then each day we’ll deep dive into a different element, learning practical rituals to apply the wisdom and energy of that element to your daily life.

A Sacred Site Like No Other
Renowned as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, ‘Atitlan’ translates to ‘between the waters’. A most alluring destination to connect with nature's elements, Lake Atitlan is surrounded by picturesque volcanos and lush mountains. The lake basin was formed from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. During this retreat, we will be blessed to partake in a traditional Mayan Fire Ceremony led by a local Tata and share in ancient wisdom and healing in a Mayan Temescal Sweat Lodge. Considered a magical portal by locals and visitors, lake Atitlan is a sacred site like no other.
