About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Restore is a seven-day retreat for those who want a little more time.

With two additional days, the retreat allows more space to rest, integrate and settle into the rhythm of life in the rainforest. Rather than filling every day with activities, we've created a balance between guided experiences, free time and opportunities to simply be.

Throughout the week you'll experience daily yoga, meditation and breathwork, our signature Conscious Connected Breathwork Journey, immersive sound journeys, a traditional Temazcal ceremony, guided rainforest walks, waterfall adventures, live music, community fire circles and time to enjoy Libélula's natural pools, rainforest trails, sauna and cold plunge.

There is also plenty of time for optional treatments, reading in a hammock, journaling, swimming beneath waterfalls or simply enjoying the peace of the land.

We believe that transformation doesn't only happen during workshops or ceremonies. It also happens during conversations over shared meals, quiet mornings watching the sunrise, time spent in nature and moments of stillness.

This retreat is suitable whether you're completely new to yoga and meditation or already have an established practice. Every session is guided with care and can be adapted to suit different levels of experience.

By the end of the week, our hope is that you leave feeling more rested, more connected to yourself and nature, and with simple practices you can take back into everyday life.

Libélula truly felt like coming home
Libélula truly felt like coming home. From the moment I arrived, the jungle, waterfalls, and peaceful atmosphere made me feel safe and completely at ease. What stood out most was how deeply cared for I felt — before, during, and even after the retreat. The team was incredibly warm, present, and supportive, and having a dedicated facilitator made the whole experience feel very personal. The ceremonies were held with so much love, respect, and authenticity that it never felt like just a retreat, but a real process of healing and transformation.

A place that truly holds you
My time at Libélula Retreat Center was deeply meaningful and truly transformative. From the moment I arrived, I met a genuine warmth and kindness that made me feel welcome.
The facilitators held the space with integrity and wisdom so that I felt safe to open up and go deeper.

There was a quiet, powerful transformation that unfolded—supported by the loving atmosphere and the surrounding nature, which felt like an essential part of the journey.

It’s rare to find a place where you feel so held, both by the people and the environment. Libélula is truly a special sanctuary for anyone seeking connection, peace, and authenticity.

A Beautiful and Thoughtfully Designed Retreat Space
The setting is absolutely beautiful — शांत, well-maintained, and clearly designed with intention. You can feel that it’s been created to support rest, reflection, and a deeper connection with nature. The surroundings are peaceful, and the overall energy of the place makes it very easy to switch off from day-to-day distractions.

The facilities are thoughtfully put together, with comfortable accommodation and well-kept communal areas that lend themselves well to group experiences. Everything feels aligned with what you’d hope for from a retreat environment.

What stood out most was the atmosphere, there’s a genuine sense of calm and care in how the space is held. It feels like a place where people can really reset and recharge.

I’d definitely recommend Libélula Retreat Center as a venue for anyone considering hosting or attending a retreat.

Just WOW!!
What an experience! From the moment you set foot on the land you know this is place where magic can happen. From the structure of the retreat to the food, and the space that was held, great deal of attention was paid to every last detail in order to maximise the not only the experience but to also maximise the outcomes. One of the best retreats I have been to
