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.

What Awaits You

Elemental Alchemy Classes

Deepen your understanding of elemental magic. Earth, air, fire, water, and ether. You'll learn rituals using each element to manifest, clear, and protect. Using these practices, you'll be able to weave magic into your daily life. 

The Magic

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

Lake Atitlan is known as the Root Chakra of the Earth, calling souls to be rejuvenated, restored, and reminded of their magic. Those who experience Lake Atitlan are never the same again. Here, you can connect to the magic of life deeply and take a piece of it home with you.

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. An ancient Mayan heritage site and temple were discovered at the bottom of the lake, revealing that the ancient Maya also recognized this as a sacred site. 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.

Words from Past Participants

My experience in Tulum was not only the most beautiful experience of my life,

but the most important one, too. And it was absolutely flawless from beginning to end.

How Kalisee managed to design and guide this personalized retreat with such precision and thoughtfulness in such a short timeframe is beyond me. Every experience, including silent meditations, yin yoga, ceremonies, dreamwork reflections, cenote swims, sound healing journeys, beach trips, art gallery walks, handpan drum lessons, Temazcal ceremony, and even joyous moped rides, were imbued with deep purpose and design.

 

Kalisee's expertise and understanding clearly surpassed the typical mastery threshold of 10,000 hours in travel, guidance, and the keen ability to listen and meet the needs of those who answered her call. Her retreat didn't just offer a momentary escape from life's pressures. It was a guide, a forever North Star, pointing me back toward a life of wonder and joy. With her guidance, the broken strings of my heart began to weave together again. And I can say with absolute certainty that I’m no longer the same person who embarked to Tulum. I returned to Los Angeles transformed, filled to the brim with connection and wholeness.
