A Sacred Journey Back to the
Heart of Nature
UPCOMING RETREAT
NUQUI, COLOMBIA
JULY 9TH - 13TH
4nights - 5days
Renew, refresh, decolonize, tune in, heal
Living Waters is an invitation to pause, reconnect, and immerse yourself in the transformative flow of nature. Set in the untouched beauty of Nuquí, Colombia, this journey is about rediscovering the innate wisdom within and tuning into the elements that have always guided us.

STEP BEYOND YOUR COMFORT ZONE, ONLY TO RETURN TO THE DEEP SAFETY WITHIN YOURSELF
Release the distractions of the modern world, stepping into sacred waters that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Through each moment—whether it’s the rhythm of the ocean, the wind in the trees, or the earth beneath you—you’ll reconnect with the sweetness of life and awaken to the timeless wisdom of nature.
Are you ready to be guided into the safety of your being?

As we move through our busy lives, there is a space within us that often urges us to react from stress, anxiety, and confusion. This journey invites you to gently uncover the parts of yourself that keep you from your inner peace. It offers a space to rewire these beliefs with the guidance of the elements and Mother Nature.

HONOR YOUR VULNERABILITY AS YOU OPEN TO RECEIVE THE BEAUTY THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER

OPEN YOURSELF TO THE TIMELESS
Take a moment to pause, clear your senses, and return to Earth time.

FEEL THE WARM EMBRACE OF MOTHER EARTH AS YOU MERGE WITH HER SPIRIT
REMEMBER YOU ARE ONE WITH HER
Through wildlife encounters and ritual ceremonies, we will explore how to decolonize our thoughts, feelings, and emotions. In doing so, a safe space will emerge within, where self-worth and empowerment can take root and grow deep into your mind and spirit.


Nuquí is a UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere Reserve, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. A natural haven teeming with wildlife and untouched by the hands of civilization— the perfect place to return to the timeless and reconnect with the roots of Mother Nature.
