Join Jen Berres (Jenstar) and Lauren Erlandson for a transformative 7-night Women’s Empowerment Retreat at Lake Atitlán, where you’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery through daily yoga practices, invigorating stand-up paddleboard excursions, and meaningful cultural immersion experiences that uplift and support local indigenous women. Take in the serene beauty of Lake Atitlán, surrounded by majestic volcanoes and vibrant Mayan communities, as you deepen your connection to movement, nature, and personal growth.

JEN BERRES is a former professional dancer, who transitioned her passion for movement and wellness into the study of Yoga over 12 years ago. Jen owns Jenstar Movement Studio in Green Bay, Wisconsin (USA) where she teaches both alignment-based Vinyasa flow and energizing barre classes. Her gift as an instructor reminds people on the mat that even when life is messy- they can still show up and make a difference for themselves and others. Jen’s zest and passion for life inspires people to step out of their comfort zone and discover what is possible.

LAUREN ERLANDSON has enjoyed her marketing career but with a heart that beats for adventure, she is most passionate about travel and being outdoors. A Green Bay native, she called Guatemala home for nearly five years. Lauren has woven herself into the fabric of Lake Atitlán’s vibrant culture and natural beauty, and established San Pedro Paddle, the first woman-owned SUP tour company on Lake Atitlán.

Lauren now splits her time between Green Bay and Guatemala, carrying with her a wealth of local Lake Atitlán knowledge. She is thrilled to welcome retreat guests into this sacred space, where the energy is palpable and the possibilities for connection and transformation are endless.
