About Senda Loto
Senda Loto
Mission & Vision
Our existence is rooted in a simple wish for harmony with nature. Our founder, Pema, spent years in Buddhist temples mastering Meditation, Martial Arts, and Yoga. He didn’t seek to teach; he sought to live his truth.
Arriving in Colombia for a quiet jungle life, a near-death experience in Medellín changed everything. During recovery, his inner peace drew others to him. Encouraged by his own teacher to share his path, Pema turned a personal healing journey into a mission.
In 2016, he founded La Casa de Loto, followed by Senda Loto in 2025. Today, we exist as sanctuaries where ancient temple wisdom meets the modern seeker, offering a bridge to the resilience and stillness Pema found in the silence of his own recovery.
