DIVE DEEPER INTO THE POWER OF YOUR VOICE AT LAKE ATITLAN IN GUATEMALA…
For our next Voice Retreat offering, we are excited to present a new collaborative team for a transformative 6-day voice medicine retreat at Lake Atitlán in Guatemala with Hayley Saraswati & Ayana Codoner, presenting the unparalleled power of your voice as medicine. Explore a rich fusion of ritual, ceremony, song, and voice work all to unearth authenticity, expression, and connection. In the protective embrace of our retreat community, you'll traverse self-care, intimacy, vulnerability, and the profound depths of music and singing. This is more than just a retreat – it's a journey into untapped levels of consciousness, rich with inspiration and connection.
Self-Discovery and Transformation through the Power of the Voice…
This unique voice medicine retreat is not just about self-discovery — it's transformational and healing. We offer a safe and nurturing environment that encourages change, helps in shedding old beliefs, and paves the way for new insights and fresh perspectives around your voice.
Whether you're bathed in bliss the whole time or navigating inner purification throughout the journey, you will be supported and held in a loving family container. As you return to your Self, you will take with you unforgettable memories, new community, soulfully rich music, and integrative exercises to elevate your everyday life and connection to your own voice as a powerful healing tool.
This retreat is Yoga Alliance Certified as a 30 hr Continuing Education course for techniques & practice of Mantra, Nada & Bhakti yoga.

Hayley Saraswatī
Hayley Saraswatī embodies the essence of the creative Mother, balancing loving softness with a graceful strength. Her powerful presence inspires and empowers others to step into their full potential, through vibrant authenticity and awakening to the expansive joy of the heart.
Since creating The Yoga Forest, the Conscious Living Retreat Center she founded in 2009, Saraswatī has wholeheartedly offered herself through the path of devotion; offering kirtan, sound ceremonies, voice workshops and singing circles, Forest Path medicine retreats and Sound Ceremony Trainings for the past decade and a half. Her dedication to creating and holding a safe space allows the veils to fall away, inspiring spontaneous expression and the authentic embodiment of the Truth - all is Love.
Weaving together her passion for ceremony, beauty and natural design, she has since designed and created Kula Maya Boutique Hotel & Spa, and the recently built Casa Floresta family home and Ceremonial Center.
Hayley Saraswatī is also one of seven co-founding members of the Kula Collective, an organization weaving together diverse holistic experiences and educational yoga offerings through combined passions and a collective intention of global awakening.
