About this Retreat
Sol has traveled many places to develop his holistic lifestyle and healing approach. Ayurveda and Yoga in India, meditation in Cambodia, Thai massage in Thailand, Reiki and massage in Europe are a few of his skills. He loves the community energy and the surrounding nature of Alaya. He started the permaculture onsite project and is always eager to learn and share his passions.
Cristian Juncos is a certified Mindfulness and Yoga instructor with over five years of experience guiding retreats, programs, and workshops across Argentina, Europe, and Central America.
His path into contemplative practice began long before formal certifications. After leaving a decade-long corporate career in Argentina, Cristian spent several years traveling and learning directly from Asian masters — sitting with monks in Myanmar, studying Tibetan Buddhism in Dharamsala, practicing Zen in India, and immersing himself in Theravada and Vipassana traditions across Southeast Asia.
Building on that foundation, he trained formally through the MBSR program (Jon Kabat-Zinn tradition, Level 2) and completed the two-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach — a lineage rooted in secular mindfulness with deep Buddhist roots. He is also trained in Mindful Communication and Nonviolent Communication with Oren Jay Sofer, and holds a 200-hour Yoga Teacher certification. Alongside his teaching and daily practice, he continues to dedicate regular periods of up to one month to silent retreats — a ongoing commitment to deepening his understanding from the inside out.
His teaching weaves together mindfulness meditation, mindful movement, and conscious communication — creating spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and rediscover a simpler, more present way of living.
Cristian teaches in English, Italian and Spanish.
