7 Day Mindfulness Meditation & Yoga Retreat in Colombia's Sierra Nevada

The retreat takes place at Senda Loto, a meditation center in the Sierra Nevada of Colombia, an area the Kogi people call the 'Heart of the World'. The program is grounded in the teachings of the Tibetan Dzogchen master Dudjom Rinpoche, and is led by Pema, a teacher who has studied with the Dalai Lama and other renowned masters. The daily schedule is structured around two guided meditation sessions, a morning yoga class, and plenty of unstructured time.

Each day begins with Hatha yoga and pranayama to wake up the body and steady the breath. Around midday, there's a shorter guided meditation session, and in the evening a longer one that combines instruction with quiet sitting. Afternoons are left open for rest, reflection, or exploring the natural surroundings. One day is dedicated to a mindful walking excursion in Tayrona National Park, where you can practice being present while moving through the jungle.

The retreat is intentionally small, which allows for personal attention and a strong sense of community. Guests often arrive solo, and the shared experience of silence and practice creates connections that go beyond small talk. The center itself is designed to feel remote and peaceful, with simple cabins, gardens, and a river nearby.

Food is an important part of the experience. Meals are vegetarian and made from locally sourced ingredients, served three times a day. The emphasis is on nourishing, healing food that supports the practice. The schedule leaves room for study, relaxing, and adjusting to the slower pace of life at the retreat.
