Stay · Long-term
A month-long residency at Lake Atitlan for practitioners, teachers, remote workers, and seekers who want more than a retreat. Two tracks. Both rooted in community, practice, and the rhythm of the land.
Track One
For those who want to earn their place through service. 25 structured hours of work per week in exchange for 50% off accommodation and all meals. This is a practice, not a job, and not a free ride.
Track Two
For remote workers, writers, long-term practitioners, and anyone who wants to live and practice at the lake for a month or more. Light community contribution, full focus on your own work and practice.
What life looks like here
Residency at Alma Atitlan is not a holiday. It is a container, a month-long commitment to practice, community, and the particular kind of clarity that comes from slowing all the way down. You will have structure and you will have space. Both are necessary.
"Live simply yet beautifully, with nourishing meals, peaceful rhythms, and a community grounded in both the scientific and spiritual understanding of transformation."
Residents are not just guests. They are part of what makes the place work. Whether through structured work on the Karma Track, or through the quiet contribution of simply showing up and being present on the Standard Track, you become part of the fabric of the community.
Daily rhythm
What's included, both tracks
Who this is for
Residency at Alma Atitlan works well for:
Yoga teachers who want to deepen their own practice outside of teaching. Remote workers and digital nomads who want structure, community, and nature without constant novelty. Writers, artists, and creatives who need a contained and supportive environment. Practitioners going through a transition, between jobs, relationships, or chapters of life. People who have done retreats and want to stay longer, go deeper, and actually live somewhere for a while.
Residency is not right for people who need constant entertainment, who have difficulty with community living, or who want a service-heavy resort experience. We are honest about this because we want the right people here, for your sake and for the community's.
How to apply
We want to know who you are and what you are looking for. Residency requires a short conversation before we confirm a place, this protects you and the community.
