FAQ

UNITY SPACE FESTIVAL

 

Why the festival lasts 6 days?

This is the opportunity to gift yourself the time and space to dive into dance, music, healing, and spiritual arts, to discover yourself in a new way, to give compassion for the people who share this path with you but also compassion for yourself – to get to know your boundaries, your desires, to harmonise, embrace and expand your feminine and masculine, to allow yourself to “be” in unity with all that is.

If we look for the meaning of the number 6, has a connotation of happiness and blessings. It was the first perfect number to be discovered and in Chinese it sounds like the word ‘to flow’, and can indicate smooth progress in life.

Why is it taking place in Lake Atitlán?

The land is rich with energies of the Mayan culture throughout many generations. We are excited and honoured to serve Mother Earth and Lake Atitlan which in Mayan history it means the birth of the Earth. It is a place to be reborn, a place to witness what else we need to work in our lives for personal and community development.

Why we focus on the Water & Fire Elements?

The most of our consistency is of water – water representing fluids and liquids in our body. Our entire being already resonates so much with water, it is just a matter of recognizing it in a more intimately way. Water is an element of purification and healing. Water is cleansing and essential to life. Our own lives begin immersed and encircled in fluids, therefore this element symbolises the womb and is related to fertility and birth.

Without Fire and energy we wouldn’t be able to manifest anything. We need this vital spark and initiation for anything to take place. Fire is a unique element to purify and burn what is not needed. It is the spark when we were conceived in the womb of our mother.

Isn’t it the feminine energy that makes a man masculine?

 Isn’t it the masculine energy that makes a woman feminine? Isn’t it just pure beauty to see an empowered woman when the masculine energy is melting with the divine feminine and vice versa?

Harmony in Masculine and Feminine

We are all equal in power, authority, integrity, freedom importance and respect. The earth comes into her glory when the balance between the sacred feminine and masculine is in unity. This change can only start in one place, within ourselves as Individuals. We each have to change our mindset and actions from seeing the other as less than, and start seeing each other as equals and at the same time having distinctive unique attributes. For men and women to ascend in this life and be one with Father and Mother, we must be at one within ourselves and one with each other and our world.

Can I change the selection of my workshops after the Festival begins?

Yes as long as there is availability.

TRAVEL

 

Do I need Visa to enter Guatemala?

The Guatemalan government may require a visa to enter. Please make sure to check before you travel and apply at your home country of residency early enough, since sometimes visa procedures might take up to few weeks. For the countries who require visa to enter Indonesia, check the link below.

**Please Note: The document / Passport should be valid, for more than six (6) months from the date of entry into Indonesia and have enough empty pages.

Do I need to get a travel insurance?

We highly recommended you get your own travel insurance.

Do I need a return Ticket?

Make sure that you carry along all your important travel documents. The recommendation is to have along a return ticket too, or a ticket to a third country, since some airlines and immigration might request you to prove your exit out of Guatemala. This might vary between airlines and immigration controls.

Do I need vaccines?

Make sure you are up-to-date on routine vaccines before your trip.
At the moment Guatemala does not require any vaccination to enter, but this might also change.
