What can I expect?
Each day we'll have experiential learning sessions focusing on the 4 elements, all aimed at guiding us to reconnect with our true nature and higher purpose:
-
Earth: representing stability and grounding, Earth will help us connect with our core values and strengths. It will contain us to build a solid foundation and materialize our deepest longings and higher callings.
-
Water: symbolizing flow and emotional adaptability, Water will remind us to embrace change and navigate life situations with greater ease. It will help us reconnect with nature, the femenine archetype, and pleasure.
-
Fire: embodying drive and motivation, Fire will inspiring us to take action toward our calling. Fire urges us to embrace transformation, burning away what no longer serves and fueling our growth.
-
Air: representing clarity and vision, Air will help us gain new perspectives. It allows us to explore alternatives, connect with our intentions, and draw from our wisdom within.
Vegvísir is a Viking symbol intended to help the bearer find their way. It is formed from the two Icelandic words: vegur and vísir.
Vegur means 'way, road, path' and vísir, 'to show, to let know, to guide'. It derives its meaning from the same word as the English wise. It points someone the right way.
Throughout our retreat we'll use this symbol to help us re-connect with our purpose at a deeper level, using the 4 Elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind.

Cacao Circle
We'll come together as a group to participate in a very special Cacao Circle. We'll talk briefly about the history of cacao, its importance for Latin American native communities, and its medicinal properties. We'll then enjoy a beautiful heart-opening ritual with local cacao, accompanied by a bonfire and ceremonial music.
Daily Yoga Sessions
Each morning you’ll enjoy rejuvenating yoga sessions, combining grounding postures with flowing sequences, allowing you to deepen your connection to yourself while harmonizing with the serene natural surroundings.
Coffee Workshop: "From the Plant to the Cup"
Our retreat will take place at a coffee growing "finca," so you'll get to enjoy their artisanal (truly fresh!) coffee each day. And you'll be invited to attend their "from the plant to the cup" workshop, led by the finca owners. Wether you're a coffee lover or intrigued about the process of growing and roasting a delicious cup of Colombian coffee, you'll love this interactive session!
Daily Guided Meditations
Led by Carolina, a certified meditation teacher and one of the voices of the renowed meditation app, Pura Mente, you'll have the option of joining guided meditations each morning. All levels welcome.

Don't forget to share with us your food preferences or allergies.
The land
The retreat will take place at a stunning “finca” nestled in the heart of Cundinamarca, just 50 km (~30 miles) from Bogotá.
Cundinamarca was the land of many indigenous communities, including the Muisca, Kicchwa, Je’eruriwa, Woonnan, Wayuú, Pijao and Yanacona.
Each morning, you’ll awaken to breathtaking sunrises over the Andes and the sound of beautiful birds.
The grounds are rich with life—abundant fruit trees, lush coffee plantations, aromatic herb gardens, and a nearby creek–all inviting you to connect with nature at every step.
The charming retreat house offers comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, pool, and access to hiking trails.
