Gateway Experience 2024 – Guatemala

Gateway to Your Greatest Potential in Guatemala
with Helen Rothberg and Paula Coyne

You are cordially invited!

You are cordially invited to experience the inaugural Gateway To your Deepest Potential at Villa Sumaya, Lake Atitlan in Guatemala on March 9-16, 2024. This weeklong experience will combine the life-long learnings of its guides Helen Rothberg and Paula Coyne amidst the beauty of Villa Sumaya and the Mayan culture.

A Gateway is an opening.

Stepping through a Gateway leads you to what’s next. Is your fullest potential limited by your beliefs about yourself and what is possible? This Gateway experience is an opportunity to access and activate your greatest potential. Potential for what? That depends on you. Whether you are envisioning career or personal growth or both, this Gateway will help you explore yourself and provide tools for your journey.

Meet Your Instructors

Helen and Paula, friends for over 20 years, are bringing together their collective experience and passion for supporting the expansion of human potential. You’ll have time to rest and be nurtured in this exquisitely beautiful retreat center and be energized by the dynamic experiences that we’ll weave together for you. Yoga, dance and other movement; breathwork, visualization, workshops, ritual, introspection, writing and collaboration will combine to open gateways.
