Your Transformative Weekend Itinerary

Friday Evening: Arrival & Grounding

Your ancestral awakening journey begins Friday evening with a warm welcome ceremony and grounding ritual. After settling into your comfortable room—choose from our Suite with Jacuzzi or one of our cozy standard accommodations—you’ll enjoy a light, conscious dinner prepared with love and local ingredients.
Subsequently, we’ll gather for an opening circle where you’ll set intentions for the weekend and connect with fellow retreat participants. This sacred space allows you to release the stress of travel and begin tuning into the retreat’s transformative energy. Moreover, our facilitators will guide you through a gentle evening meditation and breathwork session to prepare your body and mind for deep rest.
 
Finally, you’ll retire to your peaceful room, where the sounds of nature and mountain air promote restorative sleep. This first night establishes the foundation for the profound work ahead.

Saturday: Deep Immersion & Ancestral Practices

Saturday dawn brings the heart of your ancestral awakening experience. Your day begins before sunrise with a powerful yoga and meditation session on our terrace, where you’ll greet the golden light illuminating the coffee mountains. This practice awakens your body, calms your mind, and connects you to the sacred rhythm of nature.
 
Afterward, you’ll enjoy our signature conscious breakfast featuring fresh tropical fruits, organic Colombian coffee, and nutritious plant-based options that energize your body for the day ahead. Following breakfast, we’ll embark on the centerpiece of our retreat: the traditional temazcal ceremony.
 
Specifically, the temazcal—or «house of heat»—is an ancient Mesoamerican sweat lodge ritual that purifies the body, mind, and spirit. Under the guidance of experienced facilitators, you’ll enter this sacred space where steam, medicinal herbs, and ancestral chants facilitate deep cleansing and spiritual rebirth. This transformative practice has been used for centuries by indigenous cultures to heal physical ailments, release emotional blockages, and reconnect with ancestral wisdom.
 
Moreover, the afternoon offers time for integration and personal exploration. You can book a therapeutic massage at our wellness center to release remaining tension, relax by our heated outdoor pool while contemplating the mountain views, or simply journal in our peaceful gardens. Alternatively, join an optional guided walk through nearby coffee farms to learn about sustainable agriculture and the spiritual connection between humans and the land.
 
Evening brings a nourishing plant-based dinner, followed by a sound healing ceremony or fire ritual under the stars. This closing practice helps you integrate the day’s profound experiences and prepare for continued transformation.

Sunday: Integration & Return to Daily Life

Sunday focuses on integration and equipping you with tools to maintain your awakened state beyond the retreat. Your morning begins with a gentle yoga flow and guided visualization that anchors the weekend’s insights into your being.
 
Subsequently, we’ll share a final conscious breakfast together while participating in a closing circle. During this sacred gathering, you’ll reflect on your journey, share insights with the community, and receive guidance on maintaining your practices at home. Additionally, our facilitators will provide you with resources—including meditation guides, breathing exercises, and wellness tips—to support your continued growth.
 
Furthermore, before departure, you’ll have time to explore charming Salento, visit local artisan shops, or simply soak in the mountain views one last time. Many guests choose to extend their stay to explore the Cocora Valley or take additional coffee tours, making the most of their Colombian Coffee Region adventure.
 
By Sunday afternoon, you’ll leave feeling transformed, reconnected, and inspired to live with greater awareness, purpose, and joy.
