Buddhist Meditation and Yoga Retreat: A Path Towards Deep Perception

Embark on a profound exploration of the meditative path through this immersive retreat, focused on Vipassanā (perception) and Shamathā (mental calm) meditation. This transformative experience is supported by daily Q sessions, dedicated periods of silence, breathwork practices, and grounded 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 closure of the process.

Unlike other approaches that seek to change or perfect who you are, Vipassanā invites you to make your life experience more real: more grounded, clear, and awake. It is not about becoming someone new, but about returning home to your true nature, to what we like to call «being real.»

Noble silence is observed throughout the retreat, with exceptions during classes and a designated free time from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. For those who wish to maintain complete silence throughout the 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 profound inner growth and spiritual awakening through authentic teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Whether you are ready to deepen your practice or are new but drawn to this path, we warmly welcome you to join us.

“I went there for a week retreat and it was absolutely wonderful! The environment and surroundings are just amazing to practice! Pema’s way of teaching and her advice were of tremendous help for my practice and to deepen my spiritual path!” — Nick Ernst

Mindfulness and Yoga Retreat: Cultivating Inner Calm and Presence

This retreat offers a gentle yet impactful journey into the essence of meditation and yoga. Although Senda Loto is dedicated to the profound wisdom of Vipassanā, this program is designed to cultivate foundational mindfulness and mental calm (Shamathā). You will 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 is perfect for beginners and those seeking a rejuvenating experience to integrate peace and clarity into their daily lives.

We will close the 7-day retreat with a sunset bonfire on the beach.

“A great experience and probably the best option, especially for beginners, to create an excellent foundation for meditation and yoga.” — Peter Feser
