Inner Fire: A Retreat for Soul Nourishment, Deep Resilience, and Awakening Inner Leadership / Psychospiritual Institute

Ignite your Holy Fire for your sacred work in the world. Experience psychospiritual teachings, deep ecology, ceremony, authentic connection, and more, surrounded by an empowering group of soul-centered leaders.

Only a few spaces left!

Psychospiritual Institute invites you on a sacred journey into the heart of Guatemala at the magical Lake Atitlan and in the beautiful sanctuary of Villa Sumaya. Surrounded by volcanoes, the lake is known for its healing properties and offers the perfect space for slowing down, breathing more deeply, and coming home to our essential Self.

Together, we will:

• become more present and learn tools to deepen our ability to respond from the heart
• feel our interconnection with life and remember ourselves in Deep Time
• expand and widen our circle of compassion for ourselves and others
• connect with more clarity to our sacred work in the world
• become inspired in loving community with other emerging leaders, who care deeply about our world
• experience the rapture of being fully alive!

If you’re ready to feel rejuvenated, nourished, and inspired, and to thrive as a heart-centered leader, who can guide your life with more clarity and share your gifts wholeheartedly, join us for this immersive transformational journey.
