Fly into La Aurora International Airport (GUA) in Guatemala City. No visa is required for US citizens. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after February 6, 2027.

From there, travel to Antigua Guatemala (~45 min by shuttle). We strongly recommend arriving in Antigua the day before the retreat begins (January 31) to acclimate, explore, and rest before we depart for the lake.

A full Antigua guide — including where to stay, eat, and how to get around — will be sent to all confirmed participants.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that includes trip cancellation, medical coverage, and emergency evacuation. Guatemala is generally safe for travelers, and this retreat takes place in an established eco-resort, but coverage protects your investment and gives you peace of mind.

This retreat is intentionally small — a maximum of 12 participants + guides and facilitators. The small group size is by design: it allows for genuine connection, personalized attention, and the kind of intimacy that makes a shared week like this actually transformative.

No — Rooted is a co-ed retreat, open to all, and we welcome anyone who feels called to this experience. No prior experience is needed.

Whether you cook every day or haven't turned on your stove in months, this week meets you exactly where you are. The goal isn't technique. It's a connection to the food, the land, and the people around the table.

First time for breathwork? No problem! Jadine Murray's sessions are designed to be accessible to all levels and all bodies. You'll be guided every step of the way. All you need to bring is a willingness to breathe, move, and be present.

Yes. All meals are prepared fresh on-site using locally sourced ingredients. Please note any dietary restrictions, allergies, or preferences in your booking inquiry and we'll ensure the kitchen team is informed. Traditional Mayan cuisine is naturally rich in plant-based ingredients, so most dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice.

You'll have a roommate for the week — 1-2 other participants in a beautifully appointed room, each with your own twin bed and access to shared bathrooms and common areas. Email mojaculinary@gmail.com to discuss room pairing preferences.
