The Savanna Hermitage is a solo eco-retreat space designed exclusively for practitioners of meditation, qigong and yoga to focus and deepen their practice in solitude immersed in nature.
Cultivating a meditative lifestyle of higher consciousness is the core practice, and many forms of meditation and higher consciousness practice are welcome, including zen, mindfulness, vipassana, transcendental, qigong, yoga, and others. All guests are encouraged to spend an average minimum of 3 hours a day practicing sitting, lying down, walking/hiking, and movement meditation, qigong, yoga, and other higher consciousness practice. The schedule and practice is primarily solitary and self-directed.
In addition to the solo practice space in each guest room, the Hermitage property also has an outdoor meditation/qigong/yoga circle for solo and group practice, and also contains over a mile (1.6 kilometers) of walking meditation nature trails for guest use and enjoyment anytime. Endless miles of amazing hiking trails throughout the nearby Chiricahua mountains feature stunning rock formations, evergreen forests, and magnificent waterfalls.

Beyond grateful
Going on this retreat I was wanting desperately to start the journey of reconnecting with myself. Karl is able to facilitate this journey with self in such a beautiful way. He is so respectful of your personal time while also offering to show you the beautiful mountains around the hermitage. It was an immense pleasure being invited to stay on the hermitage and experience all it has to offer!! I can not express enough how grateful I am, I can’t wait to go back!!
