Roots Within
"A journey into the heart of the earth"
The local indigenous tribes see the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, as the heart of the earth. Not only because of its magnitude and abundance, but because of its healing properties.
​
We are glad to welcome you to our retreat nestled in the verdant heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains, in the mystical land of Palomino, Colombia. In this serene enclave, where the greenery kisses azure skies, we invite you to a transformative retreat of profound self-care, inner discovery, and purposeful tranquillity. A time and space to connect with your inner roots.
The Journey
From Jan 13th to Jan 18th 2025
Immerse yourself in a transformative journey where you'll get the chance to engage in diverse experiences and potent practices, all curated to root you in the deepest corners of your being.
​
Enjoy daily yoga classes that align your body and mind, and invigorating hikes through the Sierras canvas.
​
We invite you to delve into the age-old wisdom of native cultures through transformative ceremonies, such as the cleansing Temazcal, the heart-opening Cacao, and the grounding Rappé (Tabacco) rituals.
​
During our retreat, you will experience somatic movement in our vibrant ecstatic dance session, all the while bathed in the uplifting harmonies of electronic music, letting your spirit soar on the rhythm of sound.
​
To facilitate your personal process, we offer individual sessions centred on emotional release, equipping you with the courage to shed the weights that no longer serve your growth. Enhance your comprehension of mental well-being and emotional consciousness through engaging workshops and Breathwork, offering you pragmatic and compassionate self-care tools.
​
As you navigate this path of rooting, you will be nourished with three wholesome vegetarian meals each day.
You'll also be gifted with plentiful leisure time by yourself to soak in the tranquil beauty of One Sanctuary. Use this space to reflect, delve into a good book, or pour your thoughts into a journal.
​
This journey together will offer you a fertile ground for profound introspection and restful ease.
One Santuario
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta - Colombia
The place is a natural sanctuary in the middle of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. It is a true hideaway between white-sand Caribbean beaches and glacial rivers that flow from the Sierra Nevada. This territory is the guardian and border of the ancestral path of the Koguis, Arhuacos, Wiwas and Kankuamos. This is one of the most diverse and surprising mountain systems off the coast of South America, among its mountains, jungle, fauna, and flora coexist ancestral indigenous cultures.
