This retreat is a magical oasis within the Jungle Mountains overlooking the Caribbean Sea. My three-month experience there was beyond expectation. In these fast cultural times it is a great opportunity to live in an environment where the natural world still dominates the day. I learned so much from the jungle; its sounds and silences. I learned from the sea. I learned from the colorful nuance of people who came and worked at the lodge, and I developed great relationships within this evolving web. I learned about myself. Life was simple; the air clean; time reflective; food nourishing; fruits rich; exercise plentiful; the sun enjoyed (thoroughly). For me, the Retreat is an enchanted soundscape of beauty and unending stories. I highly recommend going there and experiencing it for yourself.
