flow arts gathering
Imagine sipping on a fresh coconut, with the best view ever… of loads of beautiful people spinning and dancing, hahahaa! It was hard to find a training space with a more mesmerizing and iconic view, and more volcanos than on Stromboli, but I think we’ve succeeded! Without jokes, we’re super happy to to work together with the resorts Eagle’s Nest and Starry Mountain to facilitate all the workshops and events we’re planning for you.
In March, Guatamala will have it’s dry season. So probably there won’t be any rain, and day temperatures average between 75°F / 23°C and 83°F / 28°C. So that should be perfect as a winter escape, but not so hot we won’t be able to move. Our epic-view training space at Eagle’s Nest has a roof, so we’re out of the full sun, also the yoga shala at Starry Mountain provides shade.
This event is slightly different from our previous retreats, as it’s almost a little festival! That’s why we’ve called it a Gathering instead of a Retreat. Also, there’s more flexibility for you to choose different workshops, food, and accommodation. You can book a ticket for the full program with all food included, or you could follow some workshops for fewer days, and have accommodation elsewhere.
– Over 7 hours of different workshops per day!
– Pick & choose based on your preferences
vibes
– Access to evening programs with many Performances and Dj’s on different locations
– Fire Jams, fuel will be provided
relax…
– Comfortable apartments with terrace, chill areas, and wonderful jungle views
– Go for a swim in the Atitlán lake

If you are staying at Eagle’s Nest you can go for a 1,5h yoga class with varying teachers. For people that don’t have their accommodation at Eagle’s Nest, the fee will be 10 dollars to join the class.
MORNING WORKSHOPS
After breakfast, the morning will be filled with Poi, Buugeng, and different Staff classes. These classes will be given both at Starry Mountain and Eagle’s Nest. It’s only about a 5 min walk from one location to the other.

SEE THE FULL SCHEDULE HERE This is the tentative schedule, there still might be some small changes.
poi – flow freely
Learn Poi from Vojta. We won’t only focus on tricks, but also on how to incorporate the moves you already know into your own flow, and how to beautify them. Poi isn’t only about tricks… It’s a state of mind and a liberty of expression.
Choose your Level; Poi Beginners or Intermediate and above
Every day, there will be 2 blocks of 1,5 hours of Poi Classes. This assures the classes will be catered to your level, and you’ll benefit the most from all the workshops.
For those who don’t yet have their own Poi, it’s possible to borrow them
buugeng – key movements
Learn Buugeng from Gustavo Ollitta
In these workshops, we’ll explore the different Manipulation Techniques. Get to know all of the beautiful patterns and dynamic geometries that can be created using S Staff or Buugeng.
The name Buugeng comes from the Japanese ‘Buu’ which is ‘optical illusion’ and ‘geng’ means ‘martial arts’.
This is a great opportunity for beginners to start the journey of buugeng, or for intermediate spinners to refine their moves. We’ll go into the concepts of 1 & 2 beats, finger-spins, liquid weave, and much more!
For those who don’t yet have their own Buugeng, it’s possible to borrow Buugeng (for a small fee) or to buy a pair of Gustavo Ollitta.
hula hoop – dance & play
Learn Hoop Dance with Lucero Ponce
The Hula Hoop workshop combines the art of dance, meditation, and a full-body workout!
An inner journey to connect more with our bodies, as for being able to spin the hoop at almost every point, we need to build awareness, strength, and coordination.
Being playful, just dancing and moving without judgment. Find the joy of this active meditation and experience you can release tension through Hooping. We will explore our own style of dance with more organic ways to play.
There will be different exercises; first the warm-up, some stretching, dance moves, and we will explore the different possibilities of manipulation and movement with the Hoop spinning around the body, and holding the Hoop.
The workshops are suited for beginners and intermediate Hoopers. It’s possible to borrow a Hoop if you don’t have one.
belly dance – sensuality & coordination
Belly Dance with Lucero Ponce
This powerful ancient dance tradition combines smooth, sensual, and waving movements with precise, rhythmic, and strong movements. Learn to develop coordination in different parts of the body to perform the staple technique of dissociated movements.
Of course, there’s a great focus on the pelvic and belly zone. This zone is the gravitation Center of the body and represents our primordial energetic area. Connect with your own femininity en sensuality through soft and gracious movements. Practising Belly Dance is a fun way to develop strength, flexibility and coordination!
The workshops are open to beginners and intermediate dancers.
silk fans – dance & expression
Learn Silk Fans from Lucero Ponce
In these workshops, you will learn the Silk Fans Fundamentals: basic wrist movements, flourishes, frames & turns. We will also create a choreography with all the different movements learned.
Come, practice, and experience the beauty of Silk Fans! ♥
For those who don’t yet have their own Silk Fans, it’s possible to borrow a pair, (for a small fee), or to buy a pair.
The workshops are great for beginners.
contact staff – basics and beyond
Learn Contact Staff from Luis Wachong and Miguel García
Here is an unique opportunity to learn from absolutely mind-blowing teachers, and even two of them!
Luis and Miguel will alternate giving Contact Staff classes, so you’ll get tips, tricks and training from both of them.
Learn the basics of Contact Staff, or if you’re ready for more, you virtually can’t run out of new techniques to learn from Luis and Miguel! As these two teachers really represent the top of possibilities, going into 5 staff multi-staff contact. Please bring your own contact staff.
double staff – manipulations
Learn Double Staff Manipulations from Luis Wachong
If you want to get new inspiration for Double Staff, and learn many cool tricks, you’ll love these workshops!
If you’re a beginner, and you know the basics of single staff spinning, you might also want to try Double Staff Manipulations.
The Double Staff style of Luis is really techy, making pretty geometrical shapes. For sure, there’s a lot you could learn from Luis, even for advanced spinners.
You can borrow simple Double Staffs to follow this workshop.
fish tails – meditative moves
Learn Fish Tails form Luis Wachong
No, we’re not talking about the animal, hahahaa. A Fish Tail is a move done with a Contact Staff. The staff is placed on the back of the hand, and without changing the position of the staff, a one-beat is made. The name Fish Tail derived from the motion, as the hand is just going from left to right, like a wiggling fish tail. Here is a video to see what the move looks like.
Both beginners and more intermediate staffers are welcome. There’s more to Fish Tails than the basic one, can you already change direction, and to other tricks?
Please bring your own Contact Staff.
dragon staff – contact & movement
Learn Dragon Staff with Miguel García
Dragon Staff has got ever-increasing popular the last few years! This is probably because it just looks so spectacular, the many fast spinning wicks at both ends of the staff… It’s such a dynamic prop, that’s relatively easy to learn. Once you figure out the spin, the contact is easier as with a normal contact staff, as the spinning gives it more balance. Leaning from Miguel García gives you the opportunity to really learn from a pro, who can give many tips and tricks to master your Dragon!
For this workshop, you’ll need to bring your own Dragon Staff.
club jugging – the basis of juggling
Learn Club Juggling with Miguel García
If you want to learn to juggle Poi, Staffs or any other prop, it’s a great base to start with balls, and Clubs! This prop really gives the foundation of the possibilities to juggle multiple objects. You’ll learn the basics of throwing a prop, and when you can juggle 3 clubs, you’ve learned another very valuable lesson of focus. The focus and speed you need to react to juggling multiple objects will benefit you greatly in all other areas of spinning and juggling.
And of course, if you’re already familiar with juggling clubs, there are many nice tricks and variations to learn from Miguel. Please bring your own Clubs.
borrow props for the workshops
Yes, you can borrow props, but not all of them…
We try to provide as many props as possible to lend for the people that don’t have their own. But, as most of the teachers and organization come from other continents, it’s getting really expensive to fly them in, especially for bigger and heavier props. There are so many different workshops, so we can’t offer to provide props for them all. Below is the list of which props you can borrow, and which not.
PROPS YOU CAN BORROW
Please indicate at the question form, after your registration which props you want to borrow, so we can prepare them for you.
Hoop
Poi – Vojta will be selling Sock Poi, great for beginners
Silk Fans – Lucero will be selling Silk Fans

this is what our past poi retreat
attendants say
From Vojta: Since I explored Guatemala in 2017, I always dreamt of organizing a retreat at the Atitlán lake. The combination of numerous active volcanoes, tropical nature and mountainous landscape gives this place a truly unique feeling. This video is partially shot in Guatemala and Costa Rica (majority of beach shots are from Costa Rica and all the volcano shots, waterfalls, and Mayan ruins are from Guatemala)
I’m happy to share my experience from this beautiful country – from the volcanoes of Atitlán to the beautiful colonial architecture of Antigua, millenniums-old Mayan ruins or incredible waterfalls and cascades of Semuc Champey.
Atitlán lake
is the deepest lake in Central America, with water that is clean and perfectly suitable for swimming. The culture of the towns and villages surrounding Lake Atitlán is influenced by the Maya people. Lake Atitlán is renowned as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, and is one of Guatemala’s most important national and international tourist attractions. In literature, it is often called “the most beautiful lake in the world”. It won’t look so far-fetched once you see it! The area around San Marcos (where the retreat takes place) has particularly tall cliffs abutting the lake and in recent years has become renowned for cliff diving. Despite that, there are many small beaches offering comfortable access to the water.
Surrounding the lake caldera, there are three volcanoes. Volcán Atitlán lies on the southern rim of the caldera, while Volcán San Pedro and Volcán Tolimán lie within the caldera. San Pedro is the oldest of the three and seems to have stopped erupting about 40,000 years ago. Tolimán began growing after San Pedro stopped erupting and probably remains active, although it has not erupted in historic times. Atitlán has developed almost entirely in the last 10,000 years and remains active, its most recent eruption having occurred in 1853.
If you wish to observe an active volcano doing its things, then we recommend visiting volcan Fuego or Pacaya, that are nearby.
Pacaya is an active volcano, which rises to an elevation of 2,552 meters (8,373 ft). After being dormant for over 70 years, it began erupting vigorously in 1961 and has been erupting frequently since then. Much of its activity is Strombolian – which is a rare type of frequent activity, perhaps the most interesting one, as it almost guarantees you to see lava. It’s not a coincidence that we organize a retreat in Stromboli and Guatemala 😉
Have you ever seen lava? If not, you might be really interested to see it. If you have seen it, you are probably interested even more.
Climbing Pacaya is relatively easy and suitable for almost everyone. The full hike can be easily done in half a day. The reward isn’t only seeing lava and the top of Pacaya, but also an amazing view of all the other surrounding volcanoes, as shown in the picture of the dude with poi (Vojta)
Antigua is an ancient city (originating in 1524) in the central highlands of Guatemala known for its preserved Spanish Baroque-influenced architecture as well as a number of ruins of colonial churches. It served as the capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is surrounded by three majestic volcanoes – Volcan de Agua, Volcan de Acatenango, and the most impressive one, Volcan de Fuego.
A volcano worth seeing – even from a distance – that is Volcan de Fuego. As the name tells, this is a furious one – it is famous for being almost constantly active, with small gas and ash eruptions occur every 15 to 20 minutes.
The best view is available from Volcan de Acatenang – a neighboring volcano with a similar height to that of Fuego. If you are into volcanoes and hikes, this is the right choice for you. However, this quite a challenging one, requiring certain equipment, and time to hike.
If you are interested, let us know, as we are probably going to climb this volcano before or after the retreat too 😉
Tikal, perhaps the most amazing Mayan ruins
A bit further from the Atitlán lake, there lays the ancient Mayan city of Tikal. It can be easily reached by an overnight bus to “Flores” – a city on a little island on a beautiful lake, which is the starting point of all Tikal expeditions. This Mayan city is definitely worth visiting. I’ve been to many Mayan sights in Guatemala and Mexico, but this is perhaps the most amazing one. I recommend going there early and spending a whole day. It’s not a bad idea to pay for a tour guide (which isn’t expensive) as the stories that come with each of the numerous pyramids or ruin in the city add another dimension to your experience.
The Cascades of Semuc Champey
Located in the middle of a tropical national park, surrounded by traditional villages and steep mountains of mid-land Guatemala, Semuc Champey offers perhaps to most tropical experience I can imagine in this country.
It’s not only this tropical paradise by a wild river but also the whole experience of getting there and seeing the local life. I remember walking in a random village near this place, observing some local religious ceremonies, eating in a small restaurant that perhaps wasn’t even a restaurant and staying in a little cabin just next to the river with a lot of fireflies all around!
It does take some time to get there, but it is worth it! It’s good to combine this trip with visiting Tikal – perhaps on your way back from Tikal to Guatemala city.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my little story about all the amazing spots to visit in Guatemala. I look forward meeting you soon, so we can climb a volcano together!
