Birth is unique, powerful, transitional. It provides the woman and the couple a passage into motherhood. It rebirths her as a woman, and offers a foundation and source of strength and empowerment for the rest of her life. In this course we rediscover birth by diving into the physical, emotional and spiritual realms of pregnancy, birth and creation. Join us and explore how we can empower women throughout this process, and how we can connect again to our roots and source.

Directions
Coming from Antigua, you would go to Panajachel which is about 2-3 hours away and one of the three big towns on the lake. From Panajachel, take a boat (lancha) at the public dock. Tell the captain that you are going to the town of Tzununa ("Zoo-new-nah") which is three public stops from Pana. When you disembark at the public dock of Tzununa, take a tuk-tuk (a little three-wheeled vehicle) to "El Bambu." The tuk-tuk will cost Q5 per person and the lancha should be Q15-Q20 per person. When you get to El Bambu, go through the gate and up to the main building. Someone will show you to your room. As noted, we are in the small town of Tzununa, quiet and still "undiscovered." From the guest houst yo uare less than a 10 minute walk to the lake and less than 20 meters from beautiful rivers. You are a 45 minute walk or a 10 minute tuk-tuk ride to the town of San Marcos la Laguna. There you can find many places to eat, drink, listen to live music, get a massage, etc. Again, we can help you get to the lake from Antigua or the airport, or from anywhere. Just let us know and we can arrange a shuttle for you.
