We want to hear from YOU.

This is TA’s ultimate playhouse. We have a makers space, a boutique, a yoga shala, and fully equipped outdoor gym.

There are so many gorgeous properties out there for you to choose from when booking your retreat/event/immersion. We want to know what is most important to you? I have a feeling it’s more than amenities

Please share what matters to you when choosing your location?

I was molded into a model that was taught to model a model that does not exist. The model is perfect, forever young, impossibly attractive, educated, not too educated, independent yet co-dependent, a boss babe but not a bitch, entrepreneur, mother, wife, selfless, susie homemaker, a feminist but not too feminine and a listful of contradictory models that change with whatever is on the market at the moment.

If I am forever confused as to who I am supposed to be then who I really be, remains a mystery. But what I will for sure forever be is a customer. I will forever be a customer grasping for the next gadget that will finally get me to nowhere. And every time I arrive at nowhere, there will be a roomful of Barbies assuring me that my happy is waiting for me on the side of my next credit card swipe. I will forever buy, and scroll, and numb and dumb myself into the next fix, the next product, and the next distraction to keep me in the dark of my very own light.

Today, because of my journey of embodying the yamas and nyamas, I know that I am not some bu****it Barbie Doll in a box on a shelf that can be bought or sold, but I am Divine, of Goodness, and connected to a Source greater than me. And I believe that you are too.

Happiest of happy birthdays to this Cowboy. My partner in crime. This man has walked through hell and high water with me to create a life that most wouldn’t dare even dream possible. He makes s**t happen like no one I have ever witnessed before. He doesn’t bat an eye when obstacles arise, takes life on head on, and remains calm and patient through it all. Needless to say Matthew Bartlow I adore you.

I am in awe of what we/you have accomplished these past 5 years and holy Guatemoly, am so excited to see what transpires in the next 5 years.

Here’s to YOU, your strength, capacity to expand, can-do attitude, our Wolfpack, your sense of fun and play for all that is life, and the love and support you give me daily to live the life of my dreams.

Mi hombre
Love,
Your mujer

TA tips to feel more JOY

1. Touch the earth today. Touch the dirt and decide it’s not dirty, it’s earthy.

2. Replace your screen with the sky and scroll through the cloud formations.

3. Listen to life. No response necessary.

4. Smile at every tree you encounter.

5. Repeat, repeat, repeat

PS: that’s more than enough to reset and remember that outside always helps us go inside 😉

One of the most common obstacles I hear from creatives is the “getting started” block. Excuses pour like rain…I’m not exactly sure what I’m making, I need to finish x,y,z before I can allow myself to create, who would buy it?, I’ve lost my spark, I’m all out of ideas….

The perfection plague has hit your household and it’s time to quit placating procrastination. Create to create. No one gives a s**t but you, you are the only one holding yourself back from shining like the magnificent star you are.

Sometimes leaving the conformity cast upon society is necessary to light your spark and help you remember that you are literally creation herself.

This is your invitation to invite creativity and joy back into your being as your natural baseline. The vibrant colors of Guatemala will wake you up, the ancient intricate weaves will thread you back to your roots, the simplicity of life will show you where you are using distractions to numb, and the nurture of nature will wrap her arms around you and allow you to surrender your defenses.

Jubilance this July will be life-changing. Not because you will walk away different, because you will remember who you really are and free yourself of the chains choking your soul. The time is always right MEOW.

Jubilance 2026 is the last opportunity to retreat with me this year and I am so excited to connect with other creatives and shower you with nature, nurture, and remembrance.

Oh annnnd one of my VERY FAVORITE creatives/maker/epic human will be here pouring her magic in your cup:for.joy make sure to follow her and see what she’s up to.

If you are feeling the heavy, the weight of all the crazy ass world drama….the time to remember who you are and BE the lighthouse is Now.

How you ask?

When you walk through TA’s doors it is a portal to another world, another dimension and you get to completely leave your current reality right where it is and journey into a land of wild imagination, passion for life, an untamed flame of inspiration that burns so dang bright it lights up the universe.

All of the heavy is immediately dispelled and there is an overwhelming sense of awe, wonder and jubilation that is palpable in every aspect of TA from the wagging tails of the wolfpack to the lush fantastical gardens, to the fresh homegrown foods, to the mystical essence of lake Atitlan, to the artwork that weaves it all together.

TA will transport you to your true home, one where limitations are irrelevant, laughter is the main course, and imagination is the only network broadcasting.

The past several conversations I have had with people from the states have revealed to me that many of you are feeling so many feels, heavy feels and for some time now. This is smothering you. Your light just cannot shine as bright when the weight of the world is on your shoulders. It occurred to me, this is exactly why we have been building and creating TA.

Why come all the way to Guatemala??? Here’s why…

Take a break, take space, remember your baseline is JOY, remove yourself from the muck so you can remember and reinstate yourself as a lighthouse in the dark.

Our sacred roots, are our sacred reasons, and it is the strength, depth, and width of our sacred reason roots that determines our power to go from acorn to oak. There is no question of the potential itself, that’s a given, weaved into the very fabric of our beings. The question lies in whether or not we choose to play out our passions or pass them up, like last night’s leftovers. The question lies in the realness of our reasons. When we give to get, or perform to be seen, or speak for approval, sacred is stifled, and our potential becomes paralyzed.

Today is the day that we affirm our roots as sacred. Today, we, made of stardust, stand before the Van Gogh sky, encircled, grounded, and held by all of our reason roots. We behold them with honor and respect and we consciously choose to activate our snake named Passion to energize and actualize our vast potential, for ourselves and for all of humanity.

Top 3 tips on How to E N J O Y Guatemala ASAP

1. Stop trying to make it make sense to you: it’s not supposed to make sense to you, it makes sense to them- the faster you can drop into observation and awe, the better time you will have.
2. You can pretty much guarantee, no guarantees! You can plan plan plan, it won’t ever work out that way, leave your expectations and timelines at home, oh yeah, and politics too!
3. It is serene and gorgeous and wonderous, AND it can also be loud, all night fiestas, fireworks bc it’s Tuesday, chicken bus horns playing musical tunes and dog fights….the more you are bothered, the more bothered you will be!

Adopt the mantras:
1. I always figure it out
2. I can do hard things
(What we live by)

Cheers!
