✺ Coaching and reflection circles to integrate your experience
✺ Additional rituals and activities to deepen your connection with the heart
Impresiones de nuestro Retiro Junio 2025
We will be staying in a magical place.
We have chosen the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta as the location for our retreat. This sacred land offers us energy, warmth, and inner peace. It is here that we have deeply experienced our connection with nature and with ourselves.
Known by indigenous cultures as “The Heart of the World,” this place is truly magical — where majestic mountains and lush jungle meet the Caribbean Sea, crystal-clear rivers and waterfalls, beaches, the sun, the moon, and the stars, all living in harmony.
It is home to indigenous tribes rich in wisdom and ancient traditions, and blessed with dreamy sunrises and sunsets.
You will carry the magic of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta within you
You will awaken the special experience of listening to your inner voice; the one that guides you and lives within you. You will establish an abundant source of inner wisdom and love, becoming your guiding star when times feel challenging.
You will reconnect with a beautiful feeling that already lives inside you: inner peace and joy for life. Your inner light will be ignited, allowing you to feel more radiant.
You will be more present and aware, giving yourself permission to truly enjoy life: living your own magic.
Who will guide you?
We, as your space holders, open the doors to a deeper connection with yourself and a beautiful, transformative experience.
Kendra
Hi, I’m Kendra. I am passionate about heart connection and founder of Selflove Journey.
I support women in reconnecting with their essence, cultivating self-love, and transforming their relationship with themselves and with life.
My path did not begin in calm, but in struggle. For over 15 years, I lived trapped in bulimia and self-pressure, until one day I chose to listen to the voice of my heart. That decision marked the beginning of my true healing. I learned that when we dare to turn inward and connect with our truth, we find the strength and love we have always been seeking.
One day in Colombia, meditating and journaling facing the Caribbean Sea, I heard a clear inner calling: “This is where you are meant to create retreats.” Since then, I have devoted my life to guiding transformative experiences that weave together meditation, journaling, conscious movement, dance, cacao, and heart-centered coaching.
Today, as a certified NLP coach and retreat facilitator, I accompany deep processes of connection, reflection, and emotional healing.
My vision is to remind you that your heart holds all the answers and that the path to fulfillment always begins within you.

Paty
Hi, I’m Patricia Romo. A creator of experiences that reconnect us with nature… and with our own nature.
I support people who feel the call to return to their center, sharing the tools and paths that helped me reconnect with my soul.
My journey began after moving through moments of deep transformation that led me to question, let go, and awaken.
Through this process, I discovered the true meaning of life and learned to listen to the voice of the heart.
Since then, my commitment has been to live authentically and to never betray myself again: choosing truth, love, and presence each day.
Today, I facilitate spaces where people can reconnect with their essence and with the earth, through art, conscious design, and rituals that honor life.
My intention is to remind you that, no matter how far the path may seem, your soul always knows the way back.

Where will we stay?
YAY Sustainable Hotel opens its doors to us
YAY Sustainable Resort is an inspiring place to experience a more sustainable way of living, in deep connection with Mother Nature; while showing that this is possible with beauty and style.
It is located in the Guachaca River valley, at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. The property offers a private river beach along the Guachaca River, with wonderfully fresh and clean flowing water. Surrounded by an impressive mountain and jungle landscape, we are also blessed to be so close to the Caribbean Sea and its lush beaches.
YAY’s gardens are filled with tropical plants, fruits, and vegetables, as well as giant, centuries-old trees that protect the water and cool the air.
Natural pools and cozy corners with comfortable cushions invite us to relax and simply enjoy. In the Yoga Bamboo Shala, with its terrace overlooking the river, you will feel a fresh breeze and hear the flowing water and the songs of birds. It is a beautiful space for our yoga practices, coaching workshops, and much more.
The retreat center is located approximately one hour from Santa Marta airport.
Food
During this retreat, you will enjoy a true farm-to-table experience, with flavors from around the world prepared with love, creativity, and awareness. YAY’s kitchen combines organic, local ingredients; many of them grown directly in their permaculture gardens: tropical fruits, fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, free-range eggs, and pond-raised fish.
Each meal is a celebration of nature; delicious, nourishing, and sustainable. The menu follows the rhythm of the seasons, offering colorful, nutritious dishes that gently support our inner process with lightness and pleasure.
An invitation to nourish yourself with presence, savor every bite, and reconnect with the abundance of the Earth.
