Where Will We Wander Next?
ATMY+W Retreats Go Beyond
"Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat
at any time and be yourself."
~Hermann Hesse
Villa Sumaya, located in Santa Cruz la Laguna on the shores of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, is “the land of eternal spring”.
This natural refuge with 3 majestic volcanoes surrounded by tranquil, teal freshwater offers a mystical, enchanting, and soulful journey of the senses.
This retreat inspires devotion to oneself.
An invitation to pause, breathe, reflect, and discover yourself again through sacred connection with the magic of Lake Atitlán, Mayan culture,
and ancient wisdom…a harmonious journey calling you home to yourself.
The beauty is mesmerizing. You’ll breathe deeper and feel lighter
as the energy transforms you and the unhurried pace grounds you.
Our retreat home for the week is the spiritual sanctuary of
Villa Sumaya on Lake Atitlán, recognized as one of the most beautiful lakes on Earth.
In Sanskrit, Sumaya means a long-awaited dream come true, while in Arabic it translates as a little piece of paradise.
Both definitions mirror the hearts’ intentions and inspire the service of the many Mayan hands that brought this exquisite center to life.
The creation of this paradise and Villa Sumaya's ongoing connection
with their indigenous neighbors have been mutually respectful, rich,
and gratifying. Everything you find here – every brick, every paving stone, every piece of window glass and decorative tile — has been lovingly
transported to Sumaya by boat and then carried by hand
and on strong backs to its respective location.
Our Destination:
Traveling to the Mayan stronghold of Lake Atitlán is a pilgrimage into your heart center. The Heart of the Mayan world, Guatemala treasures a unique heritage. Traditions are closely tied to Maya ancestors, and mysticism is widespread throughout the country.
This land of eternal spring has average high temperatures between 70-80 degrees year-round. You will encounter a vibrant culture that blends
harmoniously with the country's natural beauty.
There are endless places to visit, including lakes, rainforests, exotic wildlife, indigenous markets, Mayan villages, colonial towns, and beaches
The lake is s urrounded by traditional Mayan villages, each with its
own language, customs, and colorful traditional dress.
The lake is surrounded by traditional Mayan villages, each with its own
language, customs, and colorful traditional dress.
Time seems to slow as you connect with living traditions passed down for generations. This enchanting corner of Guatemala’s western highlands doesn’t just leave an impression—
it stays with you, calling you back long after you’ve gone.
Join Tara Beaulieu and Michele Maker for a week filled with yoga,
meditation, exploring, hiking, swimming, and soaking in the culture
of an ancient, yet vibrantly alive civilization!
During our time together, we have the unique opportunity to participate
in a traditional Mayan day-count fire ceremony, a beautiful offering created and consumed by the fire, invoking awareness and connection with all that is. The Maya remind us to dwell in the innocent heart of the child, prompting us to leave behind our busy minds and conditioned concept of self.
Our time together also includes a guided tour of the Mayan village of
San Juan La Laguna, where we'll take in the fine art of naturally dyed and
expertly handcrafted goods created by the talented Maya who inhabit
this picturesque village.
A journey to Lake Atitlan is a soul-stirring adventure.
Here, the Mayan way of life endures among volcanic peaks and
shimmering waters.
Our private studio for the week, the Tara Temple, has breathtaking views
of the lake. We'll also have opportunities to practice outdoors on a
beautiful open-air yoga platform overlooking the lake and volcanoes.
Self-care comes in many forms here. In addition to abundant delicious, wholesome meals and snacks prepared daily, you can treat yourself
to several modalities of the Healing Arts. Harmony Spa offers individual, customized sessions and readings with skilled practitioners.
The Apothecary offers a variety of useful homemade herbal remedies for common ailments, personal care items, and custom-crafted elixirs.
The inspiration and knowledge for these panaceas draw from Chinese Medicine as well as traditional Mayan and European herbal lore.
Allow your days at Villa Sumaya to be slow and meandering, just like the pathways that wind through its lush, tropical surroundings.
Do as little or as much as you’d like, with plenty of time to rest, learn, commune, and explore both the inner landscape of your being
and the magical landscape of Lake Atitlán, which holds you softly,
so you can return home to yourself.
“The lake does not ask anything of you. It simply holds you —
and that, it turns out, is often exactly what is needed.”
– Atitlán Eco Retreat blog
See, Hear, Breathe, Feel, and Heal as your surroundings welcome you
on a path to inner peace.

A BENEFIT PRACTICE FOR NEPAL
with Cathy Cesario + Lauren Fiske
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8 | 1:00-2:15PM
What does it mean to belong to a landscape -
and to one another?
Join longtime All That Matters teacher Cathy Cesario and yoga teacher + Moving Mountains founder Lauren Fiske for a special evening of movement, breath, reflection + collective care in support of Moving Mountains: Rhode Island Moves for Nepal.
Inspired by the landscapes that shape us - from Rhode Island’s coastlines to the Himalayas - Cathy + Lauren will weave gentle yoga, somatic movement, breath, stillness + reflection into an embodied exploration of our relationship with the natural world and with one another.
Together, we’ll slow down, listen, move + rest. We’ll consider the places that have shaped us, what it means to care for places beyond our own doorstep, and how meaningful action can begin exactly where we are.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE YOGA FOR HAPPY HIPS
with Morgan Huling
Sunday, November 15 | 12:30-2:00pm
Expand your self-care routine and enhance your yoga practice with feel-good techniques that nourish your connective tissue!

It is not only excellent for relieving general discomforts, but also reducing chronic pain, enhancing athletic training and recovery, accelerating healing from injury
and surgery, and more.
This month, we're showing extra love to our hips!
Join us for a gentle, intentional practice of mindful stretching and self-massage. We'll get grounded and melt away tension, all while increasing flexibility, stability, mobility, and circulation in the lower body.

with Jennifer Sound Bird
Friday, November 13 | 7:00-8:00pm
Step into a deeply restorative sound journey at All That Matters Yoga + Wellness Studio. This sound bath is an invitation to slow down, soften,

No experience is necessary. Simply arrive, get comfortable, and allow the sound to carry you into a state of calm, balance, and inner spaciousness.
Perfect for stress relief, emotional release, and restoring harmony in body and spirit.

A SACRED MUSIC + CHANTING EXPERIENCE
with Sangita Sisters
Saturday, November 21 | 6:30-8:00pm
Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion
and is often practiced via kirtan – or chanting.
Kirtan is a call and response of Sanskrit chants or mantras.
The chanting is accompanied by guitar, drums, and often a harmonium. Songs are simple – just a few lines repeated over, and over, and over. In the repeating of these words, something truly magical happens; the pranic body begins to awaken. When our pranic body is strong, we feel less fear and more joy, vibrant and even youthful, healthy, and active.
Kirtan is one way to clear out blockages and make space for more of what you love in your life!
Join your ATMY+W Family in welcoming local yogi/musician friends,
Sangita Sisters, for an evening of community jubilation
and uplifted spirits.
Open your heart, feel connected, and find your voice!

PRANOTTHAN YOGA AND THE THREE ESSENTIALS
with Devarshi Steven Hartman
Saturday, November 21 | 10:00am-12:30pm
When was the last time you gave yourself a long, unhurried yoga class? No rushing to the next thing. No squeezing it in before work.
Just a full morning to breathe, move, and remember who you are?
This session is built around the three principles of Devarshi's new book, The Three Essentials:
Timeless Principles for Inner Peace and Self-Transformation:
Be Here Now. Feel It Fully. You Are Infinite, Eternal, and Whole.
You won't just hear about them, you'll feel them in your body,
breath by breath and pose by pose.

THE ART + SCIENCE OF PRANAYAMA
with Devarshi Steven Hartman
Saturday, November 21 | 2:00-4:00pm
Breathing is the one thing your body does automatically that you can also take the wheel on. That's not a small thing. It's a doorway. T
In this hands-on afternoon at ATMY+W, author, longtime teacher, and former Dean of the Kripalu School of Yoga Devarshi Steven Hartman guides you into the extraordinary intelligence of your own breath.
You'll learn what's actually happening in your body when you breathe: the diaphragm, the vagus nerve, how oxygen moves, and how the nervous system responds. Then you'll put that knowledge straight to work in five major Pranayama practices.

Reiki trainings and private Reiki sessions have been a part of the offerings in our ATMYW community since 1995. These workshops are an invaluable foundation for self-transformation, healing, and for anyone developing a healing practice.
