The Soul Playcation: A Transformative Week of Deep Rest, Healing & JOY in Magical Guatemala / Kara Latta

A soul-deep exhale. A full-body yes. A playful, powerful return to YOU. The Soul Playcation is a 7-night retreat for women craving rest, radiance, and real joy. Held at the stunning Villa Sumaya on the sacred shores of Lake Atitlán, this immersive experience blends restorative stillness, playful embodiment, creative expression, and soulful connection.

You’ll enjoy a curated mix of gentle movement, sacred ceremony, hypnotherapy, and spontaneous fun, with plenty of spacious downtime to just be. This isn’t a retreat where you’re booked from sunrise to sunset. It’s your sacred pause. A chance to slow down, remember your aliveness, and reconnect with the playful, radiant version of you that’s been buried under responsibilities, expectations, and burnout.

By the end of the week, you’re not just rested… you’re lit up from the inside out. Come home to yourself in one of the most magical places on Earth.
