Our two retreat options cater to all levels, from beginners to those seeking to deepen their practice. Both retreats offer daily meditation and yoga sessions, cozy eco-friendly accommodations, periods of noble silence, and nourishing vegetarian meals. During your stay, reconnect with your true self, release stress, and rediscover the lasting peace and happiness that reside naturally within us all. Read More

Wonderful and Nourishing
From the ride from Medellin, the welcome upon my arrival, to the walk out at the end of the retreat was a warm and quite literally nourishing experience for my mind and body. Pema's guidance for meditation led quickly to a much more quiet mind. Raquel's yoga teachings supported a more healthy state for my body. The food was outstanding! Many kudos to the chef! Also the woman in charge of the cleaning was fun and thoughtful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Read More

A Transformative Experience of Peace and Presence
La Casa De Loto was everything I didn’t know I needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt held by the space, the silence, and the beauty of nature. Raquel’s presence and guidance in the yoga and meditation practice was deeply grounding. Sandra was always caring and supportive. And Gabriel’s food—wow. I don’t usually eat vegan, and yet I enjoyed every single meal with joy and gratitude.

This place allowed me to reconnect with myself. It rained, it shone—the weather mirrored all my inner states. I felt safe in the silence, the trees, the stars, and even the thunder. The nights were deep and full of reflection. I came searching for stillness and left with a quiet sense of clarity. I truly believe every person should take time to retreat into themselves like this.

I leave with immense gratitude in my heart. Thank you, Casa De Loto. Read More
