Our first day will conclude with a nourishing welcome dinner to celebrate new beginnings and the start of an incredible wellness journey!
Day 2
Partake in morning yoga, enjoy a morning of freedom to decompress, and be guided through meditation and breathwork in the afternoon
Rise and shine — we hope you had a restful sleep last night. Today, we'll start the morning with a rejuvenating yoga session that will awaken your body and set the tone for the day. Then, a nourishing breakfast will fuel you with the energy you need. The remainder of the morning can be spent freely at leisure. Explore your surroundings, connect with nature, and enjoy the amenities at the property.
We'll come together for a delicious lunch in the afternoon, and before dinner we'll participate in a guided meditation and breathwork session that will help you tap into a state of relaxation and inner peace. Deepen your connection to yourself and the present moment as you set quiet intentions. Once evening arrives, we'll attend a bonfire and enjoy a wholesome dinner together.

Wake up to a nourishing breakfast that will energize you for the day ahead. After breakfast, we'll journey to the Wax Palm Valley to embark on a half-day adventure through the lush palm trees. During our hike, you'll have the chance to connect with nature, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the valley.
Then, we'll transfer to the charming village of Salento, where we'll have the opportunity to meet with the locals and experience the culture and traditions of the area. We will indulge in a delicious lunch here before returning to the accommodation.
The evening is reserved for a grounding yoga session, during which we can practice some mindful introspection and reflection. A rewarding group dinner will follow.

It’s time to say goodbye to our beautiful sanctuary and head home
We've come to the final day of this relaxing retreat. We hope you have had a wonderful journey connecting with yourself and with nature, and will take home with you the gentle lessons learned and intentions formed over the last few days.
