Nestled on the tranquil shores of Lake Atitlán, just beyond the heart of San Marcos, lies Aurora — the newest jewel of Shamana Healing Center. This sanctuary, envisioned by Eran and Batya Dolev, is not just a retreat; it is a journey into self-healing, transformation, and rejuvenation. With their son, Pele (“Wonder” in Hebrew), they dream of growing their movement of body and mind while expanding their family within this serene paradise.
A New Standard in Healing Hospitality
Aurora is redefining hospitality with its state-of-the-art, private cabins designed to offer the ultimate setting for healing. Whether embarking on a personal journey of reflection or sharing the experience with a spouse, guests at Aurora are enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility.
The cabins are crafted with modern elegance, ensuring high standards of comfort while staying deeply connected to nature. A sunroof above each bed bathes the rooms in natural light, creating a space where the mind and body can harmonize with the rhythms of the lake. Compact yet thoughtfully designed, the small kitchens invite guests to prepare their own meals, fostering a deeper connection with the nourishment process. Each cabin’s private balcony opens directly toward the awe-inspiring San Pedro Volcano, offering a breathtaking morning panorama accompanied by the soothing sounds of chirping birds and vibrant, colorful wildlife.
The Vision Behind Aurora
Eran and Batya envisioned Aurora as more than a getaway; it is a transformative space for deep healing, small group retreats, and personal detoxification. By integrating mindfulness practices, body purification, and holistic therapies, Aurora serves as a sanctuary for those seeking inner balance. The center offers tailored programs that focus on mental clarity, emotional release, and physical rejuvenation through techniques such as guided meditation, breathwork, and natural detox treatments.
As they build their future home within this sacred landscape, Eran and Batya are extending their lifelong dedication to spiritual healing. Their journey has taken them from the forests of India to the highlands of Guatemala, where they now cultivate a space for others to rediscover themselves.
The Shamana Experience
Aurora is a natural extension of the renowned Shamana Healing Center, which has already established itself as a premier destination for yoga, meditation, and holistic wellness. At Shamana, visitors can immerse themselves in a holistic lifestyle, engaging in daily yoga sessions, meditation workshops, and personalized consultations. The center’s deep respect for Mayan traditions adds a unique cultural depth to its healing philosophy, allowing guests to experience authentic ceremonies and rituals that honor the land and spirit.
A Journey Towards Inner Peace
A stay at Aurora is an invitation to step away from the noise of daily life and reconnect with one’s essence. The fusion of breathtaking natural surroundings, cutting-edge accommodations, and intentional healing practices makes Aurora a beacon for those seeking renewal. Whether embarking on a solo retreat or sharing the experience with a loved one, each guest leaves Aurora with a newfound sense of clarity, balance, and inspiration.
For those drawn to the art of self-discovery and transformation, Aurora at Shamana stands as a luminous gateway to holistic well-being. It is more than just a retreat; it is an experience that lingers long after departure, nurturing the soul and inspiring a life of mindful presence.
