A Retreat Designed Entirely Around You


The RISE & THRIVE Private Retreat isn’t a group program or a preset itinerary. It’s a deeply personalized, one-on-one experience designed to meet you exactly where you are… and guide you where you’re ready to go.


Hosted by Stephanie Kittell in the serene lakeside village of Santa Cruz La Laguna, this retreat blends inner transformation with meaningful exploration. You’re not just visiting Guatemala… you’re living it, feeling it, and reconnecting with yourself through it.


Each day flows with intention and flexibility, balancing deep inner work with cultural immersion and adventure.


What Your Days Can Look Like


Your retreat experience is a holistic blend of renewal, connection, and discovery.


• Daily deep-dive sessions (2–3 hours) focused on Empower Your Voice and Wild Wisdom Within mentorship, along with practices like cacao ceremonies, sound journeys, movement, meditation, mantra, and sacred song

• Daily mini-excursions (3–4 hours) where you explore the beauty and culture of Lake Atitlán alongside Steph; your personal guide and companion

• Experiences that may include paddleboarding at sunrise, visiting local villages, Mayan cooking classes, lakeside hikes, weaving cooperatives, sacred ceremonies, or even a sauna and plant bath

Every element is curated with care, while still leaving room for spontaneity, rest, and what your spirit needs most.


Your Private Sanctuary: Casa Dulce Vida


During your stay, you’ll have your own private guesthouse, Casa Dulce Vida, just steps from Steph’s home and a short walk to the lake.

It’s a space designed for both comfort and inspiration, where you can integrate, reflect, and simply be.


Nourishment on Every Level


Food is part of the experience, not an afterthought.

You’ll enjoy nourishing meals prepared with care, either home-cooked with Steph or shared at local restaurants. Along the way, you’ll also have the chance to learn vibrant, healthy cooking inspired by international and Guatemalan traditions.

Dietary needs are always honored, so you can feel supported in every way.


Seamless, Supported Travel


From the moment you book, you’re guided through every step of your journey.

Steph provides personalized travel support, including transportation guidance, packing tips, and local insights. Once you arrive in Panajachel, you’ll be personally welcomed and guided by boat to your new home in Santa Cruz La Laguna.

You’re never left figuring things out alone; this is a fully supported experience from start to finish.
