Out of Office, In My Body

A retreat to step away from the business of your life, listen inward, and reconnect to yourself

Join Lyss and Katharine on a 6 day, 5 night retreat in Punta Vieja, on the remote island of Bastimentos. Start the day with morning meditation, luxuriate in daily asana right over the water, and dive deep into your practice with specialty workshops.

You can explore your edges with off-site excursions, and expect plenty of free time to relax and enjoy the gorgeous nature around you. The retreat center is located directly on the beach, which means unlimited access to the crystal blue waters, nighttime swims and the sound of ocean waves to wake you up and soothe you to sleep.
