about eagles nest hotel guatemala

Cacao Dance

Guided by Mose, this ecstatic dance event has been unfolding since 2018 — blending cacao, music, and movement into a ritual of connection and release.

Opening the heart

The journey begins in the late afternoon with a cacao ceremony — a simple moment to slow down, set intentions, and arrive fully. Grown in the highlands of Guatemala and once used by the Maya in rituals of connection, cacao contains theobromine — a gentle stimulant that opens the heart and awakens the body.

Into the silence

The group enters a shared silence designed to deepen the experience—an inward journey that sharpens presence and invites connection through eye contact and movement.

Rising in rhythm

Soft melodies begin to stir the space. Some remain grounded in meditation, others start to move. The music rises like a tide, layer by layer, inviting bodies to awaken.

The fire within

The pulse peaks. Movement becomes raw, expressive, wild. The space ignites with collective energy—flow artists, dancers, and fire performers channel it into motion.

Surrender and stillness

The wave recedes. The pace slows. Bodies come to rest on the earth. Soft ambient music holds the space. There’s no rush. Just grounding. Just integration. A collective exhale.

I never could have imagined that these small cacao ecstatic dances that we started experimenting with in Guatemala years ago would eventually inspire a whole movement across the world to incorporate the values and guidelines of ecstatic dance, the intention and reverence of ceremony, and the magic facilitated with the spirit of cacao.

What people say

Beautiful location with unforgettable experiences - outdoor showers and facilities are amazing. The eco friendly ethos added to the experience and it was great to have water refills to minimise plastic. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming - Evelyn and Nelson on reception were fantastic. The food is phenomenal and the classes included are unique and special. It was great to have the opportunity to try different styles. Community day on a Friday adds to the experience and community feels. The sauna is something else. Not a criticism but for guests to be aware of, it can be a little noisy at night (dogs and cockerels), to be expected based on the location - earplugs are provided but you may want to bring your own. The only feedback to make it even more incredible would be to potentially offer an alternative breakfast option for residents (e.g. fruit and granola for a lighter breakfast). We cannot wait to come back one day.

Eagle’s Nest is a beautiful sanctuary, tucked away into nature overlooking Lago Atitlan. I had an incredible immersion of ecstatic dance here with a cacao ceremony. This space brought about so much openness, freedom to express, presence, and community. Thank you Eagle’s Nest!
