Wellness and Ceremony Retreat in Las Terrenas

The retreat takes place at El Retiro in Las Terrenas, a quiet, nature-filled property near the Atlantic coast. The small group size—max six—means every guest gets individual attention and a pace that suits them. You'll stay in shared accommodation and eat meals prepared to support the retreat rhythm, with dinner skipped on ceremony evenings.

A typical day includes a grounding yoga session, breathwork, meditation, and time for rest. The ceremonies are a core part of the experience, facilitated with care and preceded by preparation and followed by integration circles. These circles help you process what came up and make sense of it in a supportive group setting.

Nelson Pereira, the lead facilitator, has been running small-group retreats in the Dominican Republic with his team since 2015. He works in both English and Spanish, and his style is practical and grounded—preparation, safety, and real-world integration matter more than anything esoteric. The program is honest about its limits: it's educational and spiritual, not a substitute for medical care, and no outcomes are promised.

The accommodation is simple but comfortable, providing a calm base between practices. The property has a garden, pool, terrace, and a yoga shala, so you can spend downtime outdoors, reading, swimming, or just sitting quietly. Las Terrenas itself is known for its beautiful beaches and laid-back vibe, and you'll be close enough to enjoy them if you choose.
