LIGHT WEAVERS SACRED MEDICINE RETREAT

March 24 -31, 2026 in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala

Journey to the Land of Eternal Spring for a sacred pilgrimage designed to illuminate, inspire, and renew the innermost parts of your heart and soul in a loving community dedicated to healing. Lindsey traveled to Lake Atitlán in early 2025 with her partner, Fred and fell in love with this mystical place and the transformational medicine journeys offered at Casa Floresta. We’ve now been profoundly called to share the life-changing magic we’ve experienced here in stillness and holy presence with others.

In LIGHT WEAVERS we’ll embark into healing ceremony, nurturing practices, and awe-inspiring excursions while deeply immersed in the transformative energy of the sacred land and waters of Lake Atitlán.

Hosted by Lindsey Roach with support from Fred Hollman & Leah Lipson (who spends time in Lake Atitlán annually), we’ll be nestled in a private cove at the incredible lakeside retreat center of Casa Floresta in San Marcos la Laguna. We’re calling in a co-ed community of folks dedicated to their own growth who desire to adventure on the land, participate in supportive healing activities and workshops, and bravely commune with Ayahuasca in two nights of expansive and music-filled ceremony hosted by The Forest Path as the focal point of this retreat experience. Light Weavers is a journey for those desiring to be safely witnessed and supported in their authentic and individual healing processes in a sacred space that allows for true rest and connection.
