Colombia Retreat with YogaScapes
April 12-18
Connect in Colombia
Welcome to one of the most magical places on earth. This area, at the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas is known as The Heart of the World. Known for the famous Tayrona National Park, it is home to to the tallest mountain closest to the ocean and supports five lush rivers that run from the mountains to the sea. In this specific area the wildlife is abundant, hosting 20% of Colombia’s 1921 different bird species, the most in the world. Along with the abundance of nature, the indigenous tribes of the land are what creates a powerful and sacred experience unlike any other. Throughout the retreat, we will be immersed in the ancient wisdom of the Kogi people, who are considered protectors of the Earth. The Kogi’s will share their knowledge and lifestyle practices of how they aim to live in alignment with the planet and inspire us to do the same. We designed this trip to bring you to a place that feels far removed from every day life and yet connects you deeply to the thriving nature all around to create an experience where you can release the busy-ness, cleanse by the ocean and nourish with practices that draw you into the heart and with community. We want to take you into one of the most biodiverse places in the world and connect you to a culture that has been thriving in the mountains for centuries, and most importantly integrate their teachings on how we too, can better protect our planet.

3 Night Fast in the Catskill Mountains
May 21-25
This is a fast for you, a fast from what you feel you need space from. This could be food, technology, sex, writing, any form of distraction.
When the world is so busy, our minds so rampant and everyone has something to say...
Come to this place, where the ramps are beginning to wake, where the birds are guiding us deeper into the forest and the landscape awakens the wild.
Come to the council, to sit on rich earth and unfold in a circle of mirrors...
Find a spot on earth to pour yourself into, to empty, to listen...
Join us on a 3 day fast in the lush Catskills Mountains.
We will meet at a base camp on the first day to review practical information, unpack why we have come and to discuss the meaning of the four shields. This will be the time for intention setting, mirroring and finding "spots".
Days 2, 3, 4 Solo Fast
Day 5 Breaking fast (meal will be provided)- Integration and story telling
This fast is open to all who feel called to go to the threshold, to dive deeper into self awareness and to open the side walls of perception to receive what has always been.
Cost includes guided facilitation, breaking fast meal and support post-fast as needed.
Why pay someone to not eat? There is great power in sharing this experience with others, to be understood and to be held through such intense growth. This experience is priceless and coming together with intention in council and receive practical guidance is rich!
In my personal experience...
I am much more likely to complete a full fast if I know that I am accountable to a guide. I find that speaking my intentions aloud hold great value and aid in the deepest journey possible.
$400-$600 Sliding scale
Payment plan available
*Limited to 4 people
Interested? Please write a short letter as to why you want to embark on this journey. What is happening in your life? What do you want to shift? Who is coming?
