Locations
Casa Floresta, Pasajcap, Guatemala
The recently built Casa Floresta is directly on Lake Atitlan in Pasajcap, between San Marcos la Laguna and Tzununa. This is the home of the Forest Path Temple where Sound Ceremony courses and Forest Path ceremonies are held exclusively in Guatemala.
With lake access in a clean and quiet private bay for swimming, Casa Floresta is a beautiful space conducive for the transformational work.
To arrive, take the boat from San Marcos in the direction of Panajachel and be sure to tell the driver Casa Floresta Pasajcap (if they do not know it, say next to Casa Colibri Pasajcap) before you get on the boat, as it will be the first stop. You will need to pay Q5 to the driver. See the map location here.

Munay Sonqo Retreat & Yoga Center, Peru
Munay Sonqo Retreat and Yoga Center formerly named Sacha Munay is nestled in an oasis of native plants and fruit trees and is nourished by a magnificent waterfall. It is a place to connect to the incredible depth and beauty of what nature offers. The Sacred Valley of Peru, where we are located, is a majestic spot in the Andes Mountains and home of the twelve mountains known as “Apus” — “luminous beings” who are said to intercede on behalf of people. Those who come to our centre have the opportunity to commune directly with these mountains, as well as with the local curanderos and pacos (healers), who engage with us for rituals and ceremonies. We believe our world today benefits greatly from contact with these ancient sites and ways.
Munay Sonqo has the heart-felt mission to create a nourishing environment in which to experience this special place as well as the retreat you have come here for. Guests at Munay Sonqo Retreat and Yoga Center are served delicious meals with locally-grown and lovingly prepared ingredients. Each guest room is a reflection of the Peruvian culture of the Sacred Valley.

Forest Sanctuary of the One, Wimberely, Texas
The Forest Sanctuary of the One is a medicine temple nestled in the Juniper forests around Wimberley, TX. Their purpose is to inspire individuals to find harmony with themselves, nature, and the divine through sacred ritual and ceremony. It is equidistant (50 minutes drive) from the San Antonio airport and the Austin airport.
The temple is a dodecagonal Maloka with a 36’ diameter, loosely styled after the Munay Sonqo Maloka in Peru’s sacred valley. The temple features a beautiful spiraled roof design centered over a selenite altar.
The Temple comfortably hosts 28 people on 4” mats that are provided, though it can fit more with creative seating (i.e. adding an inner ring).The temple sits next to an outdoor fire altar that we call “The Nest,” which fits 40 guests in a circle.
Forest Sanctuary of the One sits on 10 acres of forested covered hills. The ecological “gem” of the property is a living spring that feeds the local creek, and is home to crawfish, turtles, snakes, fish and more. (The spring is extremely low and fragile with no flow because of the water table in Texas. No swimming and walk with intention please.) Other wildlife on the property include deer, wild boar, armadillo, red fox, snakes, a number of birds, and insects who migrate through the land on their yearly journey.
This spring has been continuously occupied for thousands of years, and features the archeological remains of many tribal peoples, most recently the Apache. These lands have a long history of traditional ceremonial work.
