Great Silent Retreat
The food was fantastic. It's a true luxury to take a week off from all the noise of the world and sit with yourself. This is a great way to spend a week calming your mind and leaning about meditation and awareness.

A new way of living, remarkable people.
I had an incredible experience with Innate during my month of coliving last year. It offers a truly unique way of living, connecting you with remarkable people from across the globe who are all making a positive impact. The emphasis on connecting our inner world with the outer world is inspiring and truly meaningful. Innate is a gem that deserves every bit of its five-star rating!

Life changing experience
Innate is providing great opportunities for people to find their own paths, evolve and grow spiritually. I spent a month coliving with almost 30 entrepreneurs from all over the world. From one full moon to another, we were working, meditating, eating, singing, laughing, crying, swimming, hiking, cuddling, talking, cooking, sharing, growing together... It was a life changing experience. How many incredible, amazing people can you meet? There has to be a limit, right? I'm gonna miss every single soul I met.
I'm truly grateful for this experience full of magical insights and wonderful memories. I found my own way, shifted for real and that is why I am coming back for more.

Wonderful experience
I don't have enough words to express my gratitude for finding Innate, my second home. I've joined 2 colives so far and various meditations and all of them have really made a difference in my life, bringing me more peace, balance, realizations, lots of fun and reconnecting with my inner child, and many amazing friendships. I will for sure continue this journey with them and attend more events that are coming up.
