Guatemala – Regeneration Retreat / Magdalena Daniłoś & Bartosz Jakimiec

Imagine a place where nature, spirituality, and culture blend harmoniously. Guatemala—the heart of Central America—invites you to a unique 7-day rejuvenating retreat to Lake Atitlán, considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Surrounded by three majestic volcanoes and colorful Mayan towns, the lake provides the perfect backdrop for rejuvenation, relaxation, and self-discovery.

Welcome to Villa Sumaya, our home for this extraordinary experience. Tucked away in the hills on the shores of crystal-clear Lake Atitlán, Villa Sumaya offers everything you need to fully rejuvenate your body and mind: luxurious rooms with lake and volcano views, healthy organic meals and a rich program of activities to support your spiritual growth and relaxation.

What awaits you during your trip?

• Regeneration of body and mind: daily meditation and mindfulness practices in pavilions overlooking the lake.
• Closeness to nature: walks through lush gardens full of exotic plants and fruits, relaxing in hammocks and sunbathing with a view of the volcanoes.
• Finding Harmony: group classes that will help you calm your nervous system and deepen your relationship with yourself.
• Exploration of the local culture: encounter with Mayan traditions, participation in a fire ceremony and sound healing, and a visit to picturesque towns such as San Juan la Laguna and Santiago Atitlán.

Magdalena Daniłoś

Magdalena always dreamed of working with others, but lacked the courage to apply for psychology. Instead, she chose philosophy. Her career path led her to marketing, where she worked for years as a trainer and strategist. In 2019, she experienced burnout, which prompted her to reconsider her career. It was then, despite her fear, that she decided to pursue her dream of working with people.
Today, she works as a trainer, coach, and courage mentor. She also began training in ACT psychotherapy and earned a certification as a mental resilience coach. She leads her own workshops, such as “Dare to Change,” “Mind Over Emotions – Beliefs as a Compass in Life,” “Taming Emotions,” and the “Journey to Yourself” retreat.

Since May 2023, she has regularly organized 7-day “Fear and Do” challenges, which help participants achieve their goals with courage. Several thousand people have already participated in these challenges.

The pillars of her work are based on the “Be Afraid and Do” philosophy, change through action, mindfulness, compassion, stoic philosophy, emotional empowerment, and self-care. Her values include freedom, courage, kindness, curiosity, and experience. She is a TEDx speaker, a graduate of MBSR and MBCL courses, and a yoga nidra teacher. She also works as a marketing strategist.
