LaWayra is a retreat center nestled in the mountains of Colombia, surrounded by panoramic views, tropical flowers, and the steady presence of hummingbirds and native wildlife. The land invites rest, whether in a hammock, by the river, or near the pool and sauna.
Yoga and meditation practices take place in our maloka, a large wooden ceremonial space used for movement, meditation, and ritual. It offers a grounded environment that supports presence and embodied awareness. People come from around the world to spend time with themselves and in community, sharing culture, perspective, and lived experience.
LaWayra hosts wellness retreats in collaboration with skilled, international facilitators and guides, and has become a place of genuine exchange for practical knowledge and spiritual insight.
Here, guests are guided toward their truest nature through reflection, play, shared meals, and a deepening relationship with their own bodies.
Our wellness retreats always include silent mornings, yoga and other movement practices with variations and intensities depending on the retreat, breathwork, guided meditation, and lessons for deepening your personal meditation practice. The teachings draw from ancient Eastern traditions, Indigenous Colombian wisdom, and modern approaches to spiritual and personal growth informed by lived experience and practice.
Each retreat balances solo self-exploration through journaling, reflection, and rest with community growth through collaborative workshops, practices, and shared learning. Many retreats include multiple healers and creative elements that support engaging with the subconscious mind.
Meals are prepared daily by local chefs who bring care and creativity to each dish. Guests stay in shared dorm rooms or private cabins, some with hammocks, open views, private bathrooms, and comfortable beds.
