Voyage Into Verse
A Journey into Word, Movement & Play

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
We all live by the way of our own personal mythos. We are all storytellers.
​Simply by choosing to be a part of the human experience, we become the greatest poetry of our inner poet. The way that we see color, the way that we hear music, the ways in which we create and experience love, the ways in which our bodies move to a unique rhythm.
We all have a personal story to tell, a legend to be left behind. A perspective on the world that is undeniably unitary. Something that says, I was here and this is how I allowed the world to affect me.
Here is what I learned, here is what I found, and here is what I will leave behind in the echo of my departure.
Retreat hosted by Our Echo and Luke of Karuna Atitlan

Karuna is a forest Retreat Center in The Valley of the Hummingbirds above Lake Atitlan. Here birds sing, a brook babbles, and humans who have left the grind create and contemplate. Karuna is a place for artists, writers, and yogis to live in a supportive community and have the right conditions to dive deep into their art or practice.

If you desire the opportunity to play with the mythos of your own mind, come journey with us into the unknown. This retreat is not only a mental space of verse and rhyme, it is a place of experiential movement and play. Each day we will journey into further and further recesses of our mind, body, and heart. All parts of you are welcome here to indulge in the depth of your everything. Through dance, written and spoken word, through mindfulness, silence, intentional eating, and living, we will take a voyage somewhere delightful through the senses.

In our supportive container, Luke will open space for writers to step out of what blocks their expression and into their authentic voice used in various forms from poetry, to songwriting, and creative narrative. 
  • Learn literary tools of the trade
  • Dedicate time to make progress on a writing project(s)
  • Receive daily feedback on your writing
  • Grow through writing prompts
  • Learn the backend business of writing and publishing

Our daily meditations, and yoga are conducive to creating the right conditions for creativity to flow and our group and personal accountability help ensure you show up 100% for your unbounded creativity. 
Take time for yourself, disconnect from the daily grind, and reconnect with the creative and talented writer within.
