“Shamana Healing Center is perfectly situated with an amazing view of Lake Atitlan. For me, it was the perfect place to disconnect from the fast paced of modern life to reconnect with nature, purify and grow. I have gained so much by being here - Batya and Eran bring so much love and gratitude to the 200YTT, this will always be a special place for me. Thank you to Shamana, who made this course so loveable.”
