About us

An awe-inspiring ecological resort and world-class event venue, designed for adventure travelers, artists, and digital nomads seeking transformational growth.

Eagle’s Nest was founded in 2016 as an Acroyoga space. But it quickly evolved into something more — a vibrant hub for movement, music, and artistic expression. With the creation of our event platform, we began hosting ecstatic dances and music and art gatherings, uniting a global community.

Cacao Dance

Guided by Mose, this ecstatic dance event has been unfolding since 2018. It blends 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. It’s 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. It becomes 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. Flow artists, dancers, and fire performers channel the collective energy 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 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.
The next Cacao Dance event will be on July 26, 2025

Greg

Founder
Grew up in France and studied in the United Kingdom. He completed a Masters Degree in Electronic Engineering at the University College London and speaks four languages including English, French, Spanish and Italian. He also completed his pilot’s license at only 17 years old. Greg is an avid adventurer and loves hiking, mountain biking and Acro Yoga.

After 2 years at JP Morgan in London as a Business Analyst, Greg decided that wasn’t the life for him and so he set off on a journey that took him around the world, including working on the set of a Hollywood blockbuster directed by Ridley Scott, Black Hawk Down, in Morocco. Eventually he settled in Guatemala and inevitably the dilemma of ‘home’ became apparent. In the end Guatemala was the obvious choice because of a deep sense of belonging, family, freedom and the intrinsic power of Mother Earth. San Marcos was initially the exploration of an inward journey of the spiritual arts including esoteric studies, meditation, metaphysics & yoga at a retreat at Las Piramides Meditation Centre. This really connected him to his inner desire of helping the collective instead of only the self. Greg is passionate about Acro Yoga, which was the initial inspiration behind Eagle’s Nest. He also loves movement arts, attracting talent, inspiring others, personal & collective growth, creating a nourishing space and curating WOW experiences.

“Eagles Nest has opened me up to being a community leader, which was very unexpected. This role comes with some serious commitment. It has allowed me to journey on my dharma to fully explore myself. It has also provided a safe and almost mystical environment for liberated and free hearts to do what they feel most drawn to do, create or belong. Eagle’s Nest has changed my life and continues to open my heart, mind and soul to the endless beauty and wisdom of the universe; Our power to create, to love, to share and to dream.

Rafa

Performance Coordinator

Rafa

Performance Coordinator
Rafa encountered yoga in 2007 during his university studies. Yoga had an attractive familiarity with the kind of focus and mind/body discipline he had been practicing in martial arts for over 10 years. By 2018, what initially started as an elective class done under the trees of the campus garden, had turned into a lifestyle and all year-round healing medicine.

A teacher certification program in Ashtanga and restorative yoga became the ideal means for self regulation in the nomadic life of a Central America adventure tour guide who would take travelers to a new city every 3 nights. This deepening on knowledge in the practice meant that even with a fast pace travel life, yoga was that nurturing grounding practice that made any place be home. The intensity of Ashtanga and the replenishing medicine of Yin yoga became his balance in life and a passion shared with the clients that he took on the road for over 10 years.This made Yoga become one of the main pillars of his life endeavors, so in early 2022 he took one more teacher certification to bring the creativity and freedom that a vinyasa style class offers. This became a key add-on for the signature fire/water themed experiences that he and his beloved passionately create.

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.
