When I joined Cinzia in 2019 on one of her spiritual retreats in Tulum, I was ignorant of shamanism, the Mayan culture, cosmovision, or Magik. Cinzia's knowledge is profound. Her inner strength, focus, and trust in spirit
is remarkable. Her courses and retreats are like Indira's Web, one jewel connected to another, delicately interwoven and neverending - simply said a treasure!
With Cinzia's help, I have recognized who I am and which path is meant for me.
I am a different person from who I was three years ago.
Thank you sister for your spiritual guidance and healing.

Take a deep breath
Reconnect to your core
Embodiment is a journey of healing and playing to restore your body and spirit power, resilience and capacity to enjoy life fully. A time to relax, stretch, explore new places and learn healing techniques to take home.
Private Sessions
Shamanic Healing
The 3 shamanic sessions will be:
healing, tutorial and reading.
Drawing on 20 years experience in shamanism,
I uses the voice, the drums, psychic channeling and ancient rituals to produce safe and effective results for your healing , guidance and transformation. Shamanic Healing is a deeply transformative practice that helps you regain strength, balance and vision. It promotes soul healing, helps you find direction in life and helps to remove negative imprints from curses, psychic attack and illness. The shamanic tutorial expands on the retreat classes and helps you establish or strengthen your personal spiritual practice. The reading is a channelling session where we call in your guides and the spirit of the land to get messages for your life path.
Structural Integration
We are students of movement living in a body. Sometimes after trauma, injury or illness the body develops irregular movement and static patterns. Come, learn how your patterns may be effecting how you relate to your body. Set up a Three Series with Lisa to see how the two of you can create new patterns in how you relate to gravity, exercise, and movement.
During your Three Series, Lisa will offer an analysis of your posture and gait, then through skillful touch, new options for movement and integration, as well as homework, you’ll discover more body freedom, less discomfort, and greater overall tranquility. Your first session is 75 minutes, with the remaining two sessions 60 minutes each

Guatemala
The Days out of Time
14-20 February
Lake Atitlan
Guatemala

A week out of ordinary time to unplug, dream, reboot and dive into the mysteries of the mayan cosmo vision. A unique chance to celebrate the New Solar Calendar in the home of the mayan time keepers. An empowering, heart warming experience on the shores of Atitlan to deepen your spiritual path and embody the beauty of your soul in all its colours. Fine tune your spirit through mayan cosmology classes, ceremonies and shamanic dreaming. Each day we explore the deeper meaning behind the mayan guardian of the day and apply it to our practices to promote vitality, inner peace and youthfulness. We explore the mayan solar calendar and practice specialistic shamanic tools; in sacred space we bring closure to old versions of ourselves and prepare for rebirth at Mayan New Year.
We work closely with the spirit of the volcano and the lake to create a brand new path for ourselves.
Lake Atitlan offers many opportunities to experience the cosmovision in everything around us, in the textiles, the people, the food, the landscape and the sacred ceremonies.
