"Best place on earth to heal, train your mind, connect with the most powerful territory, la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta."Ana Aponte, Senda Loto
A full week in the Sierra Nevada to slow down, learn simple mindfulness meditation, and rediscover what it feels like to have time — open to everyone, no previous experience required.
The Mindfulness Meditation & Yoga Retreat is a first step inward — seven relaxed, sociable days of clear and supportive guidance in meditation, Hatha Yoga, and breathwork, held within a calm and steady daily rhythm. It's an invitation to slow down, step out of your daily routine, and reconnect with yourself, nature, and the other guests around you. No previous experience is required.
Three guided sessions shape each day: Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, and Shamatha meditation in the morning (the sessions growing a little longer as the week goes on), a guided meditation at midday, and restorative Yin Yoga with meditation in the evening, followed by noble silence from 8pm until the following morning. On Wednesday the group heads together into Tayrona National Park for a mindful hike, before settling back into the retreat's rhythm.
You'll stay inside a warm, temple-like retreat space set in the forest, with the comfort of a boutique hotel around it — quiet rooms, comfortable beds and home-cooked meals — so the only thing left to focus on is your practice.
