Transformative Journey into Ancient Mesoamerica

Join Earth Ancients' host Cliff Dunning and Geophilia's founders Dr. Lydia and Arturo de León for a once-in-a-lifetime 12-day adventure through Guatemala's sacred landscapes, ancient cities, and living Maya traditions. This exclusive retreat blends archaeological discovery with spiritual immersion, offering you a rare chance to experience the profound wisdom and mysteries of the Maya.

Guatemala is a cradle of ancient civilization and a haven for spiritual seekers. From the mirror-like waters of Lake Atitlán, ringed by volcanoes, to the jungle-clad temples of Tikal, this magical country offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect deeply with both Earth and Spirit. The legacy of the Mayans, with their cosmic wisdom and sacred rituals, continues to resonate in the land, providing a profound backdrop for transformation and renewal.

Guatemala + Atlantis: Many believe that the Mayans inherited their advanced knowledge of astronomy, sacred geometry, and spiritual practices from Atlantean teachings. Lake Atitlán, revered as the "Navel of the World," is often seen as a spiritual portal linked to Atlantis. As you journey through Guatemala's sacred sites, you'll feel the threads of this ancient lineage awakening within you.
