"This retreat was truly magical and life-changing.
Vallecitos is indescribably gorgeous and being
in this setting in noble silence is something
amazing to experience."

Waking up together in the wild

Allow yourself to be reabsorbed into nature through Dharma and wisdom practices that serve personal and collective liberation.
