6 DAYS NEW YEARS YOGA AND NATURE IMMERSION

This 6-day Yoga and Nature Immersion brings life-enhancing and regenerative workshops as an opportunity to expand, thrive, and remember what is important in life at Nature's greatest experiment: The Galápagos Islands.

We invite you to unplug from your everyday life to experience the Galapagos Islands at their most natural. Always with the guarantee of fun, you will find tranquility and happiness and raise well-being for your home, your body, and your planet.

During this retreat, you will dive deep into the perfectly harmonious cycles of nature. Yoga will allow you to feel grounded in your body, and you will get to share this beautiful experience with a community of yogis that share a genuine love and enjoyment for life.

Welcome to the Holistic New Year retreat in the breathtaking natural beauty of the Galapagos Islands. This retreat is designed to help you reconnect with your inner essence, providing a sanctuary for self-discovery, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

Imagine immersing yourself in the serene beauty of nature with daily yoga sessions to center your mind and body. Experience the profound healing energies, sound therapy, and breathwork to restore balance and harmony within.

Embrace the elements by connecting with the ocean, invigorating hikes in the lush surroundings, or simply taking moments to disconnect from the busyness of everyday life. This retreat allows you to reflect, nurture your soul, and deepen your spiritual connection.

Join us for an unforgettable self-exploration, relaxation, and transformation journey.

Let our New Year retreat be your sanctuary to revitalize your spirit from the past year and start a new cycle in a different way.

Some playshops are relaxing and calming, some others powerful and demanding, always a guarantee of fun and games! We typically start the day with Morning Yoga practice, traditional cleansing techniques, and a delicious breakfast at the lodge, and end with intuitive movement, meditation, or a relaxing Yin or Aerial Yoga practice. In between, we will have enough time to go on adventures, connect and enjoy nature.

In such a unique and protected reserve, we seek to offer personalized experiences rather than massive immersions. Therefore, we work with groups of 6 participants max.

Our Team takes care of everything (safety, food, shelter, and logistics), so you must unplug and reconnect with yourself, others, and nature. This gathering is open to all sentient beings. There is no age limit, and previous experience is not required.

It’s happening and we’d love for you to be a part of it.

Location

We will initially meet up in San Cristobal, the eastern Island of the archipelago. Acclaimed for its beautiful rock formations, sea lions, shore birds, finches, and mockingbirds. On the second day, we will take a speedboat transfer to Galapagos Magic safari-style tented camp. Our base puts you in the heart of Santa Cruz highlands nestled inside a wildlife sanctuary and allows you to truly connect with the rhythm of the Islands.

Set in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island (and away from the waterfront crowds), Galapagos Magic Safari Camp surprises and delights. All six safari tents and four tree houses have gorgeous views, and guests are surrounded by nature as they sleep. Meander over a peaceful 40-hectare site blessed with spectacular views of Santa Cruz and the neighboring islands. Galapagos Magic was designed to allow the tortoises the maximum freedom to wander and live undisturbed, ensuring a continued haven for the tortoises and other wildlife in the area.

Please get to know which Coexistence Principles we are inspired by.

What makes this experience so unique?

The special ingredient of this experience is, well, of course, love. Ok, so maybe all retreats are full of wonderful people and lots of love.

What makes this extra gathering unique is its location in space and time. The deep immersion in nature and the vital energy of the volcanoes is a recipe for genuinely transformational and regenerative experiences.

We have witnessed and personally experienced magical transformations here in the Galapagos Islands. As our connection and awareness have grown, we are pulled to create spaces of intentional reference and regeneration. This gathering is one.

ITINERARY

We have included visits to our favorite places and creatures. We enjoy sharing them with visitors, always adding a yogic twist to the experience. Imagine yourself meditating in a lava cave or with a giant tortoise, practicing sunset yoga on the beach with birds flying over you, and using breathwork in a way that allows you to dance underwater with the sea lions or to flow with the sea turtles gently.

You will start every day with yogic practices and a delicious breakfast at the lodge and end it with intuitive movement, meditation, or a relaxing Yin yoga practice. In between, you will have enough time to go on adventures, connect, and enjoy nature. And last but not least, we will have a beautiful ceremony of gratitude and closure with a special dinner on the beach.

NUTRITION

We seek to reduce CO2 emissions so meat will not be offered on the menu.

Most of the meals will be prepared with fresh, locally sourced products from agroecological farms. Some meals at the lodge will be vegetarian and vegan versions of traditional Ecuadorian dishes. Some meals will be in town where you can try the local foods or stick with the veggie options.

Fruits and snacks are always available.

HOW TO GET HERE

Book your arrival flight to San Cristobal Airport (SCY) and departure flight to Seymour Airport (GPS).

We will provide the transfer to the lodge from San Cristobal Airport (SCY) and to Seymour Airport (GPS) on Baltra Island.

ARRIVAL

By airplane

It would be best if you took the earliest flight possible on the first retreat day or arrive one day before.

To get to the Galapagos Islands, you first fly into Ecuador through Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) in Quito or through José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport(GYE) in Guayaquil. From there, you can take connecting flights to the Galapagos islands.

We recommend you book your own flights to Galapagos and a hotel near these airports since there is usually an overnight layover,

DEPARTURE

Drop off at Santa Cruz Airport will be around 10 AM on the last retreat day, so make sure you have a flight booked at least 1 hour later than that.

After such an experience in Galapagos, you might not want to leave. It's okay; you don't have to! We can help you arrange to stay longer or visit other enchanted locations in other Islands, the Amazon, and the Ecuadorian Andes, before or after the retreat.
