Upcoming Retreats
Embark on a profound exploration of the meditative path through this immersive retreat, centered on Vipassana (insight) and Shamatha (calm abiding) meditation. This transformative experience is supported by daily Q&A sessions, dedicated periods of silence, breathwork practices, and a grounding Hatha yoga to relax and strengthen both body and mind. To close the 7-day retreat, we gather for a sunset fire puja on the beach: a ritual of offerings and karmic cleansing that honors the completion of the process.
Unlike approaches that aim to change or perfect who you are, vipassana invites you to make your experience of life more real — more grounded, clear, and awake. It’s not about becoming someone new, but about coming home to your true nature, which we like to call 'becoming real.'
Noble silence is observed throughout the retreat, with exceptions during classes and designated free time from 2 pm to 5 pm. For those who wish to maintain complete silence for the entire week, this option is also available.
Guided by Pema, founder of Senda Loto, along with our experienced mindfulness and yoga teachers, this retreat offers a rare opportunity for deep inner growth and spiritual awakening through authentic teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Whether you’re ready to deepen your practice or are new but feel drawn to this path, we happily welcome you to join us.
"I went there for a week-long retreat and it was absolutely wonderful! The environment and surroundings are simply amazing to practice in! Pema's way of teaching and his advice were tremendously helpful to my practice and to deepen my spiritual path!" - Nick Ernst

This retreat offers a gentle yet impactful journey into the essence of meditation and yoga. While Senda Loto is dedicated to the profound wisdom of Vipassanā, this program is designed to cultivate foundational mindfulness and calm abiding (Shamathā). You'll practice techniques to quiet the mind, reduce stress, and foster deeper self-awareness, allowing insights to unfold naturally as your practice deepens. Supported by healing Hatha yoga and breathwork practices, it's perfect for beginners and anyone seeking a rejuvenating experience to integrate peace and clarity into their daily lives.
To close out the 7-day retreat, we'll have a bonfire on the beach at sunset.
“A great experience and probably the best choice, especially for beginners, to create an excellent foundation for meditation and yoga.” — Peter Feser
