Attention to detail yields nourishing textures, symbols, colors & meaning to all of our senses.
The building of our garden, if we are gardeners in this life, starts with answering the simple
question... how do we plant and tend to our garden in such a manner that it becomes an
expression of what inspires us?
How then can our nourishing environment then become an encouraging support system
that plants seeds of positive feedback into our inspirational process?
Our garden is a masterpiece of self and collective expression.
Eagle’s Nest can be experienced as a garden of Eden, or a heaven on earth, representing &
symbolising the archetypes that are at its essence - the explorer & the creator.
Eagle’s Nest is a space to activate, inspire, & reconnect with the infinite creative potential we
all possess. Inspired by artwork & symbols such as:
The Little Prince (a story that reconnects
us to the creative intuition and innocent spirit we all possess as children, whilst recognizing
the pitfalls & wounded behavioral tendencies we can fall into as we grow up);
The Pilgrim (describing the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela).
Each allows our explorer qualities of journeying into the unknown, walking on our own & taking a step of faith, embracing nature & all of its precious gifts. We are reminded of the simplicity of not needing much in terms of creature comforts and personal items as the discoveries of places, people, sights, and the
moments of awe nourish us from the inside out & bring us back to our center - our truest nature in the present moment.
The Eagle is a power animal symbolising transformation of the self.
It is also the messenger between earth & heaven & has the ability to see the big picture
whilst simultaneously gifted with the capacity to detect & connect with small earthly details.
Tying all our symbols and inspirations together are the aspirations to (re)connect with
ancient (Mayan & others) rituals & practices to assist in calling in aspects, ideas & intentions
that can best serve ourselves with what is needed in the present moment.
These stories & symbols have fostered the impulse to create the adventure you will have at
Eagle’s Nest. An adventure filled with high-quality hospitality, playful community, natural
inspiration, and potentially mystical experiences & events.
Our hospitality is designed to provide the essentials for quality self-care: a roof over your
head, warmth when it gets cold, a comfortable & cozy bed, sacred spaces to be alone, safe
spaces to be in groups, & healing spaces like the sauna & health-focused therapies & classes
available to renew your mind, body & soul.
We are an example of Lifestyle Design
A question that has guided us: What makes us feel safe? Containment & care, comfort, light
heartedness, wider perimeters, a central social space, inviting areas & gardens to just be,
cleanliness & order with minimalistic touches, signs in a language you understand,
mothering & nurturing qualities in the signage & art, soft tone & fun & humoristic
instructions, pets that are friendly & hanging around waiting to be loved.
We are a Community + Crossroads of a Global Community
As you join our Eagle’s Nest family, you experience community - our community.
We are a multi-dimensional community - although experienced initially in a linear earthly
context of being at Eagle’s Nest with those that also happen to be there at the same time.
Don’t be fooled ;-) We are multinational, multi-lingual, multicultural, multi-racial, multi-urbanistic, multi-talented, multi-etc.
We all operate at multiple energetic, social & group levels to the point that we are connected
by the different networks we belong to around the globe. The unifying factor that brings us
all together is a desire to belong, to heal, to express, to be seen, to share, to learn, to solve
our pain-point or share what solved some of our past pain-points. To open ourselves to
trying new things & to give us a chance to revisit things we thought or felt weren’t for us at a
certain time in our lives - maybe these aspects are part of the self-imposed limitations that
keep us from being the real us. Here, Eagle’s Nest welcomes you to explore, experiment, and
soar beyond. Indulge your senses in the inspiring and powerful environment & community
that is the product of Lake Atitlán combined with Eagle’s Nest.
We Invite You to Experience Community, Playfulness + Movement
One of our cornerstone experiences are the Eagle’s Nest SunDance - intentional &
ceremonial, heart opening, alcohol-free, barefoot dancing, people hugging, body smudging,
face-painting, co-creative day of music, collaborative spontaneous musical creation,
performances, dance, stillness, movement, healing, connecting, sharing, café, tea corner,
sauna, fire pit, & live acoustic music.
It’s an event that’s always evolving, with each SunDance event unique and building on a spirit of collaborative and spontaneous musical creation ...
bringing the spirit of festival into everyday life.
We Offer a Space to host or Experience a Transformational Retreat
We offer a support system for facilitators to host experiences. Eagle’s Nest is always happy
to assist in co-creating the framework of retreats, exploring with a fusion of experiences with
the intention of yielding more potent overall effects, thanks to intentional curation.
We see our community-based events as part of a support system for retreat leaders to use
as leverage in offering those experiences or aspects of those experiences into their retreat
experiences to enhance, encourage & empower their participants.
We recognize the people who tend to value what we offer
Our Facilitators tend to be individuals motivated by a curiosity of how the world operates,
the evolution of self, & ways to best take care of ourselves. They are masters of a craft or
crafts, & individuals who are passionate about serving others with some of the wisdom they
themselves have acquired over the course of their lives. They are beings that love
collaborating, co-creating, and experiencing shifts in ways of being. Those who resonate
with values we embrace at Eagle’s Nest. Yoga teachers. Movement teachers. Dancers. Life Coaches. Holistic wellness lovers. Therapeutic modality practitioners. They incorporate mystical systems (tarot, human design, reiki, body talk, massage courses, teacher trainings, summits, conscious business summits, digital nomad summits) into their being to create magic for all those who sign up for their retreats, & enter into their transformative experience at Eagle’s Nest.
Celebrating creativity, freedom of self-expression
& inviting the ordinary into your everyday
We soar beyond, when we live out the intention of taking these experiences we have at
Eagle’s Nest back home. What you & our participants experience at Eagle’s Nest may feel
like a fairy tale at times. This is exactly the intention and vibration we curate. It is the
promise of heaven on earth and unlocking the keys to our hearts to ultimately connect
with our soul & with conscious oneness. This in itself is magic. The true miracle is
integrating this into our lives when we go home. Our premise & promise is that by focusing
on felt experiences, the transmission of wisdom & a roadmap to what we are looking for are
locked in. This is because we cannot easily forget a feeling. To this end, the quality of the
feelings felt here are yours to take home. The shift happens at that moment. Integration
takes longer, however it accompanies you forever.
This setting is one of Natural Inspiration
Lake Atitlan as a destination for consciousness communities. The vortex. A pilgrimage in
itself. By coming to Eagle’s Nest, you are also coming to Lake Atitlán. Eagle’s Nest is
immersed in the spirit & energy that the lake & its volcanic panorama emanates. Eagle’s
Nest is iconic of the Mayan heartland, Guatemala, & Lake Atitlán is quoted as one of the
most beautiful lakes in the world by many, including renowned writers like Aldous Huxley. It
is also a central inspiration to the story of The Little Prince, which is honored and symbolised
at Eagle’s Nest due to its powerful reminders of how humans can ere into erroneous lives &
forget that we are all powerful creators with limitless imaginations. The story reminds us
that it is with the heart that we can only truly see, a relevant reminder in Atitlán as it is
allegedly one of the heart chakra of the world, maybe energetically appropriate in the land of the Maya people, a culture infused with the heart opening medicine of cacao.
