Details of this retreat

The Vipassana group is precious time that we give to our SELF. Allowing the attention to shift from the world to our nature as pure, aware silence.

Simply sitting and being awareness itself.

Vipassana is not a 'doing'. It is allowing. Allowing the mind to quiet down and let our silent nature surface. When this happens we rest into an awakened silence.
As a device to observe the mind we shift our attention to the breathing flow. If something else takes our attention we allow it to be until it is gone and we return to the stillness which is naturally there underneath it all.

There is no need to 'do' the watching, just connecting to this quality which is already there.
The work is the intention and the stillness. The rest happens by itself.

Wonderful community

Walking into PachaMama is for me coming home. My entire nervous system relaxes. I have been coming here for 16 years and while there have been some changes the essence of PachaMama is alive and breathing. The nature, the river and the workshops here are rejuvenating and have helped me dive deep into my core and help me find my true essence. I love PachaMama and will continue to return again and again.

Life changing

Simply put, pachamama changed my life.
It’s raw it’s real it’s beautifully messy and it’s a very very safe place to explore what it means to be human. To shed layers
To question everything
To celebrate and to heal
The more you come clean of ideas and the more you take responsibility for your own journey the better
Good people strong tribe

Home and transformation

I have been coming to PachaMama for the past 4 years and it’s been a very good experience. I’ve done a lot of woman’s workshops and can truly say my life changed after all these experiences. I’ve grown as a person and PachaMama and all it has to offer created the space to allow it. The healthy tasty food, daily yoga classes, all the movement. Ceremonies, events, workshops. The river and the beautiful beach close by. PachaMama will always have a place in my heart. I highly recommend coming here if you feel the call to go deeper in life.

a sanctuary for the soul

a place that was created for seekers to reconnect with essence, with nature, with that which is already sacred within and around us. It is inviting to come back to the simplicity and joy of life, through meditation and celebration, through inner work and music, deep solitude and community.

Incredible place

I recently spent two incredible weeks at Pachamama, and I can honestly say it was life-changing! As a foreigner and a solo female traveller, I felt safe, welcomed, and part of the community from the start. The peaceful jungle surroundings, the daily yoga, and the authentic spiritual practices helped me disconnect from my busy life and reconnect with myself on a deeper level. I left feeling rejuvenated, more grounded, and ready to bring this newfound energy back home. I’m already planning my next visit – can’t wait to return to this magical place!
