Mystical Yoga Farm

Calling in Aligned Investors!

Dear farmily, we are excited to announce that we’ve got some big projects coming up as we close out the rainy season and prepare for the high season. Our high season is set to be busy, so we have alot of BIG upgrades and maintenance we are looking to complete by the end of Oct.

So we are seeking ways to fund these projects, as the farm doesn’t have any guests now, so we are calling on the support of our community! We have 2 different kinds of investment opportunities available.

Permanent investments -available anytime- timeshare model, meaning that your investment goes towards 10+ years of farm stays! also include discounts on retreats, hosting, healing services, discounted +1, and some discounted ceremonies.

Temporary investment plans - available only until mid-October - that include being paid back in full plus interest. We will pay you back in simple monthly installments, with an added 10% on top of what you give. This can be paid back as farm credits, or cash, or a combination of the two.

Here’s what projects we currently have going on, that your investments will directly fund.

Rebuilding and upgrading the Jag showers (that have become destroyed)
Building new cabins by the Water Temple (estrellita and lunita cabins are being moved down by the lake!) water themed named “Yemanja” and “Yacumama”.
General cleans, repairs, upgrades on all cabins including new beds, new sheets, better furniture, sealed cracks, etc
Upgraded laundry station!!!
THE LAND NEXT DOOR!!! That’s right, we are FINALLY Buying the land next door! Our dear sister (and soon to be co-owner), Kasia, is buying the land directly next to the farm, in Early October. The plan is to make big gardens with organic vegetables by the lake, a few super nice cabins, extending the trash temple, and general conscious land development.
Our goal is to receive these investments ASAP so that we can get moving forward with this long list of BIG projects, so that we can complete them by the start of the high season.

It is with great gratitude and extreme joy that we offer this opportunity to join our membership program and to be one of our valuable partners and collaborators.

🌿 The HeartSong Gathering 🌿

Our HeartSong Gathering is where festival magic meets retreat depth. With an intimate cap of around 100 people, this experience is all about deep connections and meaningful friendships. Unlike most festivals, there’s no electronic music, only pure, acoustic sounds of medicine music, rainbow songs, heart songs, Red Road melodies, jungle tunes, and “singing alive” style sing-alongs.

Each night, we gather around the Sacred Fire for an open share song circle, a safe, judgment-free space where everyone is encouraged to share a song, whether you’re a seasoned musician or just want to sing from the heart.

We’re excited to team up with world-class facilitators (to be announced soon!) who will offer workshops throughout the day, including cacao ceremonies, acoustic dances, vocal activations, themed song circles, water blessings, songwriting, rhythm workshops, kirtans, yoga with live music, and so much more.

Join us for a soulful journey of music, connection, and healing! Grab your Super Early Bird ticket before September 6, and save 100$! The link is in our bio!

🪶Our Scared Songbook 🪶

Over many years we have created a sacred song book comprised of hundreds of heart opening, beautiful songs from many different cultures and corners of the earth.

It is no secret that here at the Mystical Yoga Farm we LOVE singing, we believe it is the gateway to the divine. We sing songs day and night here at the farm, and everyone who comes is encouraged to sing. We believe in the practice of Bhakti yoga, which is devotional singing, and through this practice we open our hearts, unite our spirits and empower our voices!

You can download this epic book for FREE by using the link in our bio! We also ship hard copies of our songbook to the USA! You can find the books on etsy along with our beautiful ceremonial cacao!

Lots of love ❤️‍🔥

🤍 Copalero 🤍

If you’ve ever sat in one of our sacred fire circles, you’ve likely noticed the beautiful Mesoamerican ceramic vessel we use to burn copal. This vessel, known as a copalero, is designed to hold the copal resin, allowing it to smolder and release its fragrant, purifying smoke during our rituals and ceremonies.

In Mesoamerican legend, copal is revered as the “blood of the trees,” a sacred offering to the gods. When burned, its smoke carries prayers and offerings to the heavens, making it an essential part of ancient spiritual practices. Traditionally, in Aztec and Maya civilizations, a copalero was used in temples, during festivals, and at sacred sites, serving as a vital instrument for purifying spaces and connecting with the divine.

This ancient sacred artifact is handcrafted with intention and reverence. Made from clay, each copalero is shaped and fired with care, often adorned with intricate designs or symbols that reflect the spiritual beliefs of its creators. The copalero serves as a bridge between the material and spiritual worlds, where the sacred copal resin is burned to communicate with the gods and ancestors.

Here at the farm, we continue this sacred tradition by using our copalero to cleanse our sacred fire circle and invite in pure, uplifting energies. We take coals from our sacred fire, infusing the copalero with the fire’s energy, prayers, and intentions. Our locally sourced copal, sticky and wrapped in leaves, is placed inside the copalero, helping to energetically open and close the space, clear any dense energies, and call in new light and divinity. The subtle energy of copal simultaneously clears away darkness and welcomes in new intentions, creating a harmonious balance of renewal and connection.

The copalero, with its ancient legacy, continues to serve as a powerful vessel for transformation and spiritual connection.

We are deeply grateful to the lands of Guatemala and the indigenous peoples who have preserved these sacred traditions that have healed and inspired so much within us. As we humbly engage in these ancient practices, we honor their origins and the wisdom they carry.

❤️‍🔥Sacred Fire ❤️‍🔥

A sacred fire is a ceremonial fire used in various spiritual and cultural traditions to facilitate connection with the divine, cleanse energies, and create a space for ritual and prayer. Here at the farm , our sacred fire holds deep symbolic significance, representing purification, transformation, authentic connection and the presence of the divine spirit.

Gathering around our sacred fire in prayer is a treasured part of life here. We pray, sing, and connect to this element on this beautiful land, experiencing its powerful and deeply healing energy.

The sacred fire is a powerful symbol of life, energy, and the cyclical nature of existence. It brings us together, fostering unity, purpose, and profound spiritual connection.

Our HeartSong Gathering in January 2025, is filled with amazing nightly sacred fire circles where we come together to pray, connect and sing our heartsongs! You can find more information in the link in our bio!

✨ Prayer ✨

What does this word mean to you? Is it a quiet moment of reflection, a heartfelt wish, or a deep conversation with the universe?

Prayer isn’t bound by religion, it is a connection to something greater, a way to center ourselves and send out our intentions, hopes, and gratitude. Whether whispered in solitude or shared with others, prayer is a powerful tool for grounding, healing, and manifesting. This post in an invitation to take a moment today to pause, breathe, and offer your own prayer, in whatever form feels right to you.

And remember, song is a prayer too, a melody that carries our deepest feelings and desires into the world, so sing your heartsong!

✨🙏✨

🌲Gracias Pachamama 🌲

To walk this earth is to understand that we are not separate from her for we are her caretakers, her kin. She offers us everything, asking only that we honor the connection. When we tend to the land with love, respect, and gratitude, we realize that belonging is a shared experience, a dance between us and the earth. She belongs to those who know, deep in their hearts, that they belong to her.

Thank you, Mother Earth, for all that you give us, for holding and loving us, and for the flourishing abundance and beauty that we humbly witness each day. We pray for your healing, your resilience, and to live in purer and greater harmony with you.

Viva Madre Tierra!

🌺Your HeartSong 🌺

Singing your heartsong doesn’t necessarily mean with a guitar, it can be anything, any instrument, it can even be a poem or a rap, we don’t care we just wanna hear it!

The concept of a heartsong is an aunthentic sharing where the sound, tone and pitch of your voice isn’t the most important, what matters is the feeling, how you feel when your raw and real voice is free to flow out of you when sharing your heartsong, how it moves you, how is becomes you, how it is you.

Inspiring the creative life force in all beings is one of the sacred missions of the Mystical Yoga Farm and so it is our deepest hope to inspire the courage within you to open your voice and let your heartsong flow! We can’t wait to hear your heartsong around our sacred fire soon!

🌺🌷🌺

We are so incredibly blessed with the honour and gift of having this beautiful lake right at our doorstep. Every swim is a reminder of the natural serenity that surrounds us here. Thank you for this paradise, and all this beauty that holds us here.

Gracias Lago Atitlán!

We pray for the healing of the waters, the purification of the lake, and the harmony we envision for this place. May the relationship between this sacred lake and its people strive to always nurture and heal each other.

🌀 Circles 🌀

Sitting in a circle holds deep spiritual significance across many cultures and traditions. It symbolizes unity, wholeness, and the interconnectedness of everyone present. The circle embodies the cyclical nature of life, where there is no beginning or end, allowing energy to flow freely between individuals. For us, this formation enhances the collective spiritual experience, creating a sacred space for sharing, listening, and connecting on a deeper, more soulful level. It amplifies our sense of community and shared purpose, making it easier to tap into collective wisdom and healing. Here at the farm, almost everything we do, except for eating around our rectangular rancho table, takes place in a circle. The power of sitting in a circle is subtle yet profound, and it’s a significant part of life here at the farm. We are grateful for these gatherings where geometry quietly, yet meaningfully, connects all our hearts!

These pictures are from our epic January HeartSong Gathering where we sing in circles all day long! Come visit us and discover the healing power of community in a space where every voice is heard, and every heart is connected!

🌄 Gracias Lago Atitlán 🌄

At the Mystical Yoga Farm, we believe in the power of nourishing our bodies with food that is in harmony with the earth. That is why we eat three delicious vegan meals a day, made from our garden and locally sourced, single-ingredient foods. This approach not only supports our health but also honors the land and the communities around us. By choosing plant-based meals, our environmental impact is reduced and our diets are aligned with the principles of compassion and sustainability. Using locally sourced ingredients means our food is always fresh, vibrant, and in tune with the seasons. It’s not just about eating; it’s about nourishing our bodies, honoring the planet, and deepening our connection to the earth.

❤️‍🔥 Sacred Sauna ❤️‍🔥

Our beloved sacred sauna is an integral part of our life here on the farm. It offers a unique opportunity to connect with ourselves, our voices, our dreams and intentions, each other, and the land.

Interestingly, it was one of the very first structures to be built on this land, even before the rancho! If that doesn’t describe its significance, then what can? This traditional Mayan sweat is built from volcanic stones with Mayan symbolic carvings and concrete. This building process is traditional to this region, and each carving represents a unique aspect of Mayan spirituality and cosmology, adding to the sacredness of the experience.

The sauna has a metal oven in which we burn wood to heat the volcanic rocks surrounding it. Purifying steam is created when water is poured over the hot stones.

This weekly sweat ritual allows us to pray in the presence of intensity, sitting in the discomfort to be reborn and revitalized. Praying in this sauna we often find ourselves entering a meditative state, where we are able to release both emotional and physical toxins.

We go in to purify ourselves, to release our sweat and, with that, what is no longer serving us. It is a place to connect with the Creator, the divine, Pachamama, Great Spirit, God, or any force you believe in. It is a space to connect with nature, helping to restore order and balance in our lives. By immersing ourselves in this ritual, we honor the traditions of the land and foster a deeper connection to the earth and each other.

For those new to the sauna experience, remember to stay hydrated, listen to your body, and embrace and surrender to the healing energy of the space. Whether you seek physical detoxification, spiritual renewal, or community connection, our sacred sauna is a sanctuary for all.

🌞 The Power of Community 🌞

Living in community has the profound ability to heal our inner child, mind, body, and soul. As social beings, we thrive within the support and connection of others. Historically and traditionally, we’ve always relied on community for survival, growth, and emotional support. Returning to this way of living brings us back to our roots, fostering deep healing and true belonging.

In a world that often values independence and self-sufficiency, we sometimes forget the incredible strength found in unity and the profound healing that comes from being held by others. When we share our joys, challenges, and experiences with others, we create a space where vulnerability is welcomed and healing is abundant. It’s in this shared space that we find the safety to explore our deepest wounds and the encouragement to grow beyond them.

Being part of a community also reminds us that we are not alone in our journey. We lift each other up, celebrate each other’s victories, and hold space for each other’s struggles. This collective energy not only nourishes our souls but also ignites our potential, helping us become the best versions of ourselves.

🌝Frozen Bliss Ball Recipe 🌝

One of our favorite and most delicious ways to enjoy cacao is by making bliss balls!

To make this yummy treat, you will need:

- Ceremonial grade cacao
- Coconut oil
- Bananas
- Oats
- Cinnamon
- Cardamom
- Fresh mint
- Shredded coconut
- Sesame seeds
- Honey, panela, or sweetener of choice
- Optional: macadamia nut butter and/or chopped macadamia nuts

You can experiment with different flavors by omitting ingredients and adding peanut butter, other nut butters, nuts, seeds, raisins, goji berries, maca—really, any superfood you find delicious!

The quantities for this recipe will depend on how many bliss balls you want to make and your preferred texture and consistency. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste and the number of servings you need. If you like a firmer texture (perhaps you need to keep them out of the freezer), add more oats or dry ingredients; for a softer consistency, use more bananas or add more wet ingredients like nut butters. Experiment to find the perfect balance that works for you!

Instructions:

- Melt the cacao, coconut oil, and panela together (if using honey instead of panela or sugar, add it later).
- Mash the bananas well, then combine with the spices and oats. The ratio of bananas to oats should be 2:1.
- Add the sesame seeds, shredded coconut, and any other dry ingredients you’ve chosen. These combined should be equal in mass to the oats.
- Combine well and add the fresh mint (apple mint is our favorite).
- Pour in the melted cacao and mix well. Ratio of cacao to other combined ingredients is about 1:4 / 1:3. The consistency should be quite sticky in order to create a delicious ice-cream texture when frozen.
- Add honey to taste.
- Roll into balls, dust in shredded coconut or sesame seeds and place in the freezer!
- These are best eaten completely frozen—about 5 hours after freezing—but they’ll be delicious even if you’re impatient!

We hope you try these! Lots of love!

❤️‍🔥We love Cacao❤️‍🔥

Cacao is deeply woven into our community life. It is a sacred, heart-opening medicine we cherish. Cacao brings so much joy, playfulness and prayerfulness into our lives.

Our ceremonial cacao comes from a single-origin source, supporting an indigenous women’s collective, Finca Nueva Amanecer, or “Mama Amor,” located near Chicacao in the Guatemalan jungle. This family-owned farm, led by the sweet and dedicated Odilia, is just two hours from MYF.

Cacao offers a powerful connection to the heart, mind, body, and spirit. The Guatemalan variety we work with contains minimal caffeine (0-0.5%) and is rich in Theobromine, a stimulant that enhances circulation and heart rate without a crash. Cacao, also known as the “Food of the Gods” opens the heart and mind, elevating emotional states with Anandamide, the bliss molecule. Opening our sacred fire circles, song circles and kurt’s ns with our delicious cacao brings so much joy into the hearts of everyone co-creating the space.

Packed with essential vitamins and minerals like iron and magnesium, cacao nourishes both body and soul. Whether for singing, dancing, creative flow, shamanic journeys, or emotional processing, this beautiful medicine enhances every experience.

When you order a block of ceremonial grade cacao from our website (link in bio), you are supporting this beautiful farm and all the amazing women that farm and hand peel each cacao bean. It is a beautiful honour that we have in sharing this medicine with you!

Gracias Cacao! Viva Finca Nueva Amanecer!

🌙Cacao Recipe🌙

For one delicious cup of creamy cacao, you will need:

- 40g or less of ceremonial cacao (depending on strength preference)
- Honey, panela, or sweetener of choice
- Vanilla extract
- Cinnamon
- Cardamom
- Nutmeg
- Salt
- Fresh ginger
- Chili or cayenne pepper
- Tahini (the secret to the most delicious cacao!)

This is one of our favorite recipes, but feel free to adjust it to your taste. Ingredients can be omitted, and you can add other delicious items like nut butters, nuts, seeds, coconut milk, or additional spices, and herbs like mint or turmeric—whatever you think might be delicious!

Important note: If you are heating or reheating the cacao on the stove, be careful not to let it boil, as high temperatures cause the cacao to lose its abundant and nourishing nutrients.

Instructions:

- Start by boiling some water and finely chopping your ceremonial-grade cacao.
- Add all the ingredients to a blender. The amount of spices and sweetener can be adjusted to your preference.
- Blend until smooth, then pour into your favorite cup, whisper a loving intention and enjoy! Cheers!

Silence

Silence is one of the pillars of our community. It is deeply important to each one of us, as well as to the collective energy of this space.

Silence is an opportunity to listen deeply to the nature we are blessed to coexist with, as well as to truly hear ourselves—our minds, our bodies, and our souls. It is perhaps the most important spiritual practice of all.

Here, we practice something called noble silence. Each night, from 9 p.m. to the next morning at 9 a.m., the community is in silence. This time is a gift for us all. It is a time of deep reflection and rest. It is self-care in the highest form, for it invites each individual to look inward and truly be with oneself. Living in community is so beautifully social, and so this period is such an incredibly important gift, as it ensures that we are given time where we are truly only supporting ourselves. This time allows us to refill our cups and integrate the day’s teachings so that we can meet the new day with vitality and clarity.

Thank you for the gift of silence.

🧘‍♂️ Yoga with Live Music! 🧘‍♀️

This is one of our absolute favorite activities here at the farm! We were just blessed to have a full 5 days of daily yoga with live music in our epic heartsong retreat!

We love starting the morning with a fiery vinyasa flow, and live music elevates the experience to something truly magical. Songs sung by our beloved community members while we rest deeply in an afternoon yin yoga session create an atmosphere of pure bliss. The vibrations felt through the presence of such intentional, love-filled music are one of our community’s most powerful healers. Experiences like these leave everyone feeling rejuvenated and inspired.

Live music just makes everything better!

Sound healing

We love the practice of healing through sound because it promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and balances energy by using sound vibrations to facilitate healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. It enhances meditation, supports emotional release, fosters a sense of community, and is accessible to everyone, making it a holistic approach to well-being that aligns deeply with the values of our community.

Sound has the power to calm and soothe our minds and bodies, slowing down our brain waves and inducing a state of deep relaxation and tranquility.

When we listen to calming sounds, such as gentle music, singing bowls and other instruments, rain, or ocean waves, our brain waves tend to slow down. This shift moves us from the beta state (an alert, active mind) to the alpha state (a calm, relaxed mind) and sometimes even to theta waves, which are associated with deep relaxation and the early stages of sleep.

Soothing sounds activate the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering the body’s relaxation response. This leads to a reduction in stress hormones like cortisol, a slower heart rate, and lower blood pressure, creating a sense of peace and well-being.

Sound is an important aspect of life here at the farm. We experience it is many different forms, in laughter, in connecting conversation, in music, in nature in everything and all of it is here to hold and heal us.
