Senda Loto
Begin Where You Are
Come for a few days. Stay for a mindful week. Or, when you feel ready, go deeper.
Stay a few days, learn to meditate in a week, or deepen your spiritual practice with Pema.
A first getting in touch with the practice. Two sessions a day, nature and rest. No experience needed.
A 3 to 6 day introduction for a first getting in touch with the practice — guided meditation, yoga, breathwork, time in nature, and rest, with no fixed program to keep up with. A relaxed first taste of what a retreat feels like, open to complete beginners and curious visitors alike. No previous experience required.
Guided practice every day, semi-silence and a full-day mindful hike through Tayrona Park.
A full week to slow down and become more present. Daily meditation, yoga, breathwork, semi-silence, and time in nature help the body soften and the mind grow quieter. As the week unfolds, the practice gradually moves from focused attention toward a more open and spacious awareness.
Evening until after breakfast: 20:00 – 09:00. During the day, quiet and mindful conversation are welcome.
Saturday: morning yoga, breakfast and check-out at 11 am.
Silence, deep practice and a fire puja, guided by Pema.
Guided by PemaOver 15 years of dedicated practice in the Dzogchen lineage of Tibetan BuddhismGuided by PemaOver 15 years of dedicated practice in the Dzogchen lineage of Tibetan BuddhismThrough Shamatha and Vipassana meditation, yoga, and extended periods of silence, we learn to see beyond our habitual thoughts, judgments, and projections. As the mind settles, we gradually become more familiar with reality as it is—and with the naturally clear awareness in which every experience appears. Mainly practice-based, with teachings on the meditative path as taught in the Dudjom Tersar Dzogchen tradition.
From the evening meditation until after lunch: 20:00 – 14:00, meals included. Conversation returns from 14:00 for free time, class and Q&A.
Optional full silence: stay silent all day, with meals served in your room.
Meals are taken in silence. On Friday evening: a Tibetan fire puja and beach campfire.
