About this Retreat
Matriarch, Grandmother, Medicine Weaver, Homeopath, Mystic & Eternal Student. Originally from the wild Highlands of Scotland, Abi has always lived her life on the wild edges. Since a wee lassie she was drawn to the mystical realms, to ancient places and fairy glens. As a mother of seven she has naturally worked in the realms of birthwork and female health. Her specialty as a Homeopath lies in the hormonal harmony, mentoring women through the stages and initiations that life offers through the blood mysteries. She has lived a rich and colorful life, She lived off grid in a yurt and trucks upon the ancient roads of the UK. She dancing to the beat of her wild hearted gypsy drum. Bone deep reverence for this life, thrumming with so much love, beauty and potential is her devotion. Helping others find their path to radiant health and abundance, her life work. Abi lives on Prince Edward Island with her beloved man and their 3 children.
Emily is a devoted student, and humble apprentice to the beauty, medicine and poetry of this sacred Earth. The profound connection Emily feels with nature was instilled from a young age while growing up on a small farm in rural Prince Edward Island (Epekwitk). This relationship naturally drew Emily to study Herbal Medicine and Cha Dao “The Way of Tea.” The practice of Cha Dao is an elemental dance between the sacred and the mundane. It’s a devotional practice that beautifully blurs the lines between what is ceremony, and what is not ceremony. Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a graceful, compassionate and strong (yet subtle) plant teacher that when approached with humility, respect, and honor can guide us deeper into true alignment, with ourselves and nature. Even after 5 years of committed daily practice, Emily is still in awe at how this beautiful practice continues to weave transformational changes into her everyday life.
A devotee of the sacred, of the living cycles of life, a student of the beauty path. Katlin finds her joy in holding space for humans to find their own relationship to these fundamentals through ceremony, ritual, and connective experiences. Her work revolves around aligning to the cycles of the earth and cosmos- bridging relationships to these ancient ways of life and knowing. Katlin has been sharing the medicine of Cacao through ceremony and within her cacao creations business Nurturing Essence for the last 9 years. The path of cacao is a heart path, Katlin facilitates ceremonial experiences with this medicine to assist others in accessing deeper layers of self and soul. Her other passions lie in weaving sonic soundscapes through the art of DJing under the umbrella of PURYA to create ecstatic dance experiences, allowing for movement through dance and expression to be a connection to the divine. A lover of the elementals, of poetry and music, Katlin weaves these threads into her everyday life as she commits to living life as ceremony.
Details of this retreat
The holy waters of the lake mother are whispering… are you hearing her call?
We are unbelievably honored to share with you a dreamseed that has been planted, nourished, and cared for with utter love. Daughters of Devotion is taking our immersion to the shores of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. For several years the three of us (Abi, Emily, & Katlin) have been pilgrimaging to these sacred lands. The mountains, waters, volcanos and forests have birthed each one of us again and again. Lake Atitlan truly is one of the unspoken wonders of the world, an energy vortex of sacred Mayan culture, a pilgrimage point of mystics, seekers, poets, artists, daughters of the earth, children of the cosmos. This sacred place is indescribable in its potency and beauty. It is with such great respect and excitement that we invite you to join us in sacred ceremonial immersion.
You’re invited to join us for 5 nights & 6 days for an all inclusive ceremonial women’s immersion on the sacred and magical Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
LOCATION
Mystical Yoga Farm | Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
The Mystical Yoga Farm is an off-grid permaculture based yoga center. The MYF is a spiritual sanctuary lovingly welcoming any and all beings who arrive at the farm. Focused on regeneration and organic connection with the environment, we strive to live in harmony with this sacred land. Our desire is to heal the earth and its inhabitants through connection with nature, Spirit, and ourselves.
MYF is home to an ever-changing, thriving, international group of volunteers, work-traders, community members and local Mayans, all gently and intentionally brought here. Together we form a small, conscious nomadic community dedicated to living the intentions of the Yogic path. Life on the Farm is a rare opportunity to slow down and appreciate the real, the true, and the essence of what it is to be alive.
THE JOURNEY
Our immersions are an invitation to live completely immersed in ceremony, to make life the ceremony. Each day will be filled to the brim with mystery, mysticism, depth, and raw power. Every day will have a theme, a pillar, that slowly and surely builds the temple of your Emerald Heart. We will chisel and shape the gem of our feminine embodiment and truth, together.
