Unique experience

The training lasts 23 days in total. Day one is for arrival in Palomino, Colombia, followed by an opening ceremony and dinner in the evening. The final day is reserved for departure, with the graduation ceremony taking place the day before.

Each morning begins early, allowing space to connect with the calm of the natural surroundings. This supports early meditation and helps you feel grounded before the day’s classes begin. During the day, two breaks give you time to rest, enjoy the beach, rent a bicycle, explore the area, take a short nap, or visit a café.

Participants may also join a traditional Temazcal ceremony and/or a cacao ceremony. Please note that these ceremonies are available for an additional fee. Adventure activities such as trekking, tubing, wildlife sightings, and more are also available.
