breath of the Andes

Located a couple hours North of Medellin in San Rafael, Antioquia (at a nature reserve high in the Andes jungle). Here you’ll embark on an inspiring journey of discovery, while you connect with the deep wisdom of breath and the four planetary elements (air, fire, earth, and water).

  • Breathing Adventures: Learn different types of breathing—masculine and feminine breath, breath of the earth, the sun, the river, and the mountain.

  • Guided Meditations: Whether you're at base camp, on a walking meditations of the mountain or at the rivers edge, these sessions will leave you feeling centered, grounded and inspired.

  • Disconnect to Reconnect: You'll have plenty of time to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, whether that means lounging in a hammock, chatting with new friends by the fire, or just breathing in the fresh mountain air.

  • Hands-On Workshops: Want to make a shamanic drum or build a sacred fire? We’ll help you create your own spiritual tools, in a collaborative environment. These workshops are designed to be creative and enjoyable, where you can connect with the earth’s wisdom while tapping into your inner artist.

  • Learning from Fire: Tatiwari, the sacred fire, will guide us through this journey. You’ll learn how to translate the fire’s energy into new sensations, ideas, and visions that will stay with you long after the retreat ends. The fire invites storytelling, warmth, and community.

  • Rebirth: We’ll guide you through a Burial Ceremony, an ancient ritual that feels like an emotional reset—letting go of the old, and inviting in new energy. This is a transformative process, where you’ll find freedom, lightness, and clarity.

  • Huachuma (San Pedro) Ceremony: The heart of the Andes offers a magical gift—Huachuma, the ‘gift from the stars’! This sacred plant ceremony is a chance to tune into the spirit of the Andes with laughter, joy, and curiosity.

  • Grounding the Wisdom: Finally, we’ll spend a day focused on how to integrate all of this wisdom into your everyday life—The Bridge. Through playful exercises and supportive group discussions, we’ll make sure you leave the retreat feeling energized, light-hearted, and ready to apply your new insights back home, at work, and in your relationships.
