Four Pillars Retreats
The call to adventure signifies that destiny has summoned the hero. -Joseph Campbell
We started with the questions “What are our favourite Guatemalan experiences?” and “How can we make these experiences accessible?” In doing so, we have designed our Rebirth of Adventure journey.
We hesitate to call it a retreat, it is not about withdrawing from the world but fully entering into the experience of it. We aim to bring you to and remind you of the adventure that exists in all realms. From the physical journey through lush jungles and beautiful mountains to the spiritual journey to ancient temples and the vortex of Lake Atitlan, we have curated some of the most moving of our experiences and time here in this beautiful country we call home. All of these activities are achievable for those with a moderate level of fitness, although those with mobility challenges may find them unachievable.
As you can imagine, timing is one of the most important guides for us. This journey coincides with the end of the rainy season. It gives the lushest, most beautiful time of the year and usually abundant sunshine. We have chosen the thirteen-day period in the Maya ritual calendar which signifies rebirth, with the intention of rebirthing the spirit of adventure within all of us.
