Herbal Education, Retreat Center & Apothecary
Located in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
We have created a beautiful land project and hospitality service based on regenerative permaculture principles and herbal medicine.
Casa Curativa is a place for herbalists, nature lovers, and creatives to connect with the earth and allow nature to guide them on their path.
Explore our in-house apothecary. We have hundreds of single extracts, and a nourishing formula line for everyone.
“Casa Curativa’s motto is Find your Medicine, and it truly is a place where you will discover exactly what you need to come into a more aligned and full version of yourself.”
