Mindfulness & Yoga Retreat
This retreat offers clear and supportive guidance in meditation, Hatha yoga, and breathwork, held within a calm and steady daily rhythm. Set amidst the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada, it is a more social retreat that invites you to slow down, step out of your daily routine, and reconnect with yourself, nature, and others. Throughout the week, you’ll have the space to soften tension, settle the nervous system, and return to a calmer, clearer state of mind.
Each day is designed to gently settle both body and mind. Mornings begin with Hatha Yoga and Pranayama, followed by Shamatha (calm abiding) meditation. Later in the day, we return to a longer period of Shamatha practice, while the evening concludes with restorative Yin Yoga and meditation to help the body release deep-seated tension. Noble silence is observed each night from 8:00 p.m. until after the morning yoga session, allowing the mind and nervous system to rest deeply.
On Wednesdays, we take a mindful walk through Tayrona National Park or another sacred local site—an opportunity to bring meditation into movement and connect with the land in a simple, direct way. Whether you are completely new to meditation or simply wish to return to the basics, you are warmly welcome.
“The best place on earth to heal, train your mind, and connect with the most powerful territory: la Sierra Nevada.” – Ana Aponte

Buddhist Meditation & Yoga Retreat
Embark on a profound exploration of the meditative path through this immersive retreat, centered on Vipassana (insight) and Shamatha (calm-abiding) meditation. Meditation is supported by short daily dharma talks, Q&A sessions, noble silence, Tibetan breathwork, and Hatha yoga to relax and strengthen both body and mind.
Our approach to Vipassana, rooted in the teachings of Dudjom Rinpoche, points directly to experience as it is — with clarity and without judgment. Rather than trying to become someone new, the practice invites a deeper recognition of your natural state: open, present, and already whole. Noble silence is observed throughout, with a social window from 2–5pm each afternoon for optional connection. Those who prefer to remain in full silence can perfectly do so.
The retreat concludes with a traditional Tibetan fire puja on the beach on the final evening — a ceremony of offering, purification, and renewal held in the spirit of Tibetan Buddhist traditions — after which silence is lifted and we share words and experiences while dining at the beach.
Guided by Pema, founder of Senda Loto, along with our experienced mindfulness and yoga teachers, this retreat offers an opportunity for deep inner growth through authentic teachings from the Dudjom Tersar lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Whether you’re ready to deepen your practice or are new but feel drawn to this path, we warmly welcome you.
“It would be enough just to go for the serenity, the delicious meals, and the plentiful time for introspection. That said, the instruction was superb and I really grew in my meditation and yoga practice. The small group size made things much more personal.” — Patrick Salas
