KNOW YOURSELF
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.

Most of the meals will be prepared with fresh, locally sourced products from agroecological farms. This includes freshly roasted coffee, herbal teas, and fruit juices.
We believe and encourage a plant base diet so the 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 seafood or stick with the veggie options.

Born in San Cristobal, Galapagos, Ecuador.
Passionate about tourism and deeply specialized in wellness experiences, Mateo is a world-sailing traveler who has spent years living alongside island communities across the globe. Through this journey, he has developed a profound understanding of sustainable tourism and the ways in which nature-centered lifestyles support balance, resilience, and well-being.
Mateo has mastered freediving and holotropic breathwork as powerful tools for wellness, self-regulation, and presence. Freediving cultivates deep awareness of breath, body, and mind, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and fostering calm, focus, and inner trust. Practiced with intention, it encourages mental clarity, emotional regulation, and a heightened sense of connection with the ocean and oneself.
