The Adventure of Transformation and Spirit Exploration
Tzunana, Lago de Atitlan, Guatemala
October 1-7, 2022
Would you travel to a magical place surrounded by volcanoes to discover a renewed sense of self empowerment, learn spiritual tools and be supported?
The ability to fall in love with life again and step into your path as a divine being is absolutely possible. Join a passionate group of women who are seeking grand adventure, exploring new expressions of being, and reactivating long hidden gifts of inner knowing.
Our women’s retreat provides a place for laughter, joyful expression, and spiritual practices that help bring forth your highest self. When we can revitalize that connection to ourselves, we have the power to create our dream lives.
In our modern world, the ability to practice connection to our inner knowing is stifled. We are told what we should want and the limited view of how to achieve it. When we open ourselves up to greater flow with the universe, then we are given more potential routes to fulfillment and happiness.
The Adventures in Empowerment retreat provides a safe space to learn and practice techniques of connection, vision, healing, laughter, love, joy, expression and maintaining balance.
We create a space for learning and letting go. A space to tear off the facade society has made us think we need to be accepted. The best time to begin living the rest of your life in a way you truly desire is now.
We welcome you to join our women’s spiritual retreat at gorgeous Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. We will spend healing time in natural places and support one another in intentional practices to bring us more fully into the versions of ourselves that we want to be.

Krystalyn also supports students and clients as a meditation teacher, ceremony leader, artist and sometimes with comedic relief. https://www.instagram.com/krystalynheartformations/
"Krystalyn is amazing! She is a very warm and welcoming person. She also is a great teacher! Professionalism, yoga history and research, a deep understanding of yoga, approachability, and a multi-faceted approach to teaching; that truly are embodiments of someone I value as a teacher."
"Krystalyn is a beautiful shining soul that exudes the essence of a buddha. Light-hearted, cheerful, extremely wise. She brought many thought and soul provoking insights into class, encouraging self-inquiry and self-reflection with every turn. Her care-free and childlike joy encouraged a container for trusting self-expression. Krystalyn's light spirit was the uplift we all needed."
Rosemary Kimble has been facilitating sacred ceremonies for more than fifteen years, assisting those seeking to go deeper on their spiritual path. As an intuitive healer she acts as a witness and a guide to help clients in their transformation and healing. It is her greatest pleasure, as an animal communicator and medium, to help connect people with their souls’ purpose and to help heal human and animal relationships. Drawing on numerous years of experience as an event planner, Rosemary finds joy in creating memorable and exciting retreats to share with others. Rosemary also offers her artistry in henna and body art to help empower people to better love themselves. https://www.visionsandreflections.com/
"Rosemary is a wonderfully talented and expressive multi medium artist. She has now begun to share another dimension of her being with us, while maintaining her stylish and creative approach.
Unlike many today who are offering workshops after having been “certified” at a weekend seminar, Rosemary has done her work quietly and humbly for years and now brings us stories, gems and insights from over 15 years of study with indigenous peoples and years of working with animal populations in remote regions around the globe.
Join her for a variety of enjoyable explorations into the ceremonial, esoteric and healing arts.You won’t be disappointed."
"Rosemary is a delightful, gentle and enthusiastic teacher/facilitator. Through her insights from the online "Honoring the Five Elements as Medicine" course, I was able to identify several practices that helped me to tune into the elements more closely and that I can use regularly. Rosemary understands the Earth's elements because she honors them and utilizes their wisdom both ceremonially and in her own practice. She deeply cares for the Earth as evidenced in her passionate activism outside the classroom."
"Rosemary is a gifted, insightful, knowledgable, and passionate facilitator. I have had the opportunity to attend multiple virtual workshops led by her, and every time I have left feeling empowered, and with such incredible knowledge on our workshop subject! Her workshops are interactive, fun, and Rosemary brings such beautiful energy to the class."
