Eagle's Nest Atitlan

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.
