Embodied Awareness — Silent Meditation Retreat
Medellín, Colombia | May 1–11
Join for 3, 6 or 10 days

Spiritual Depth in the Comfort of Material Luxury

Profound spiritual work doesn't have to be austere.
No forcing.
No spiritual bootcamp.
No need to override the body to get somewhere else.

This retreat is truly an invitation to the joy of being alive. Explore non-dual tantrik teachings in a retreat context.

Real change happens when the system feels safe enough to soften.
When awareness is not escaped into, but lived.
When the body is included in the process, not bypassed.

You will explore:

* Non duality
* Somatic meditation
* Contemplative self-inquiry
* Subtle body practices
* Emotional integration

Not to fix yourself, but to come into direct intimacy with your experience.

The setting matters more than people think.

San Jerónimo sits just outside Medellín, where the mountains open into warmth and space. You will find abundant natural beauty and a landscape that doesn’t demand anything from you, but simply supports depth.

A modern villa with a pool, whirlpool bath, and sauna.
Private rooms. Space to rest properly.

Comfort without distraction.
Structure without harshness.
Depth without unnecessary austerity.

* If you are seeking space and expert guidance to lead you back to the simplicity and beauty of just existing.
* If you are looking to disconnect from a busy world and remember what truly matters to you.
* If you long to rest into spiritual practice in an intimate group of like minded seekers.

This retreat is for you.

Cacao Ceremonies: Opening the Heart 🌺🥣

🌿 Cacao ceremonies: an ancient medicine of the heart 🌿

For the Maya, cacao was more than nourishment — it was a bridge between worlds. Drunk ceremonially, cacao supported heart-opening, emotional truth, prayer, and connection with both community and the unseen.

In traditional contexts, cacao ceremonies were moments to slow down, feel, and remember what really matters.

🍫 What a cacao ceremony offers
In modern ceremonial spaces, cacao is often shared in circle, with intention, silence, sound, or gentle guidance. The cacao itself supports:
• Softening the chest and heart area
• Settling the nervous system
• Bringing awareness out of the head and into the body
• Creating a sense of connection, sincerity, and presence

This is not about “getting high” or having an experience.
It’s about listening more deeply.

🌺 Cacao at Hridaya Family
At Hridaya Family, we also hold traditional cacao ceremonies.
Sometimes these are offered as part of our meditation and embodiment retreats, and sometimes as stand-alone ceremonies, held simply as a space for heart-opening, emotional digestion, and shared presence.

Always simple.
Always respectful of the lineage.
Always in service of embodied awareness.

🍃 Cacao doesn’t force anything open.
It gently invites the heart to remember its own intelligence. ❤️

Cacao, Chiapas & Mayan Roots 🍫🌿

🍫✨ Chiapas: where cacao is culture, medicine, and heritage ✨🍫

Long before cacao became chocolate, it was sacred.
In ancient Mayan culture, cacao was revered as medicine, ritual, and nourishment. Its beans were so valuable they were used as currency. With just a few beans, you could buy food, tools, or services. This was not luxury. This was life.

Chiapas, especially the Soconusco region, is one of the ancestral heartlands of cacao. Here, cacao grew in deep relationship with the land, the people, and the spirit world.

🌿 What most people call “cacao” isn’t really cacao
True cacao is not the dry powder most of us know.
Traditionally, cacao was prepared from cacao paste (cacao mass), made by grinding whole beans. This paste naturally contains cacao butter (manteca de cacao), an essential part of its medicine.

Why that matters:
• Cacao butter provides healthy fats that support the brain and nervous system
• It helps the body absorb nutrients more effectively
• It carries cacao’s grounding and heart-opening qualities
• It creates warmth, nourishment, and deep satisfaction

When cacao is reduced to powder alone, much of its intelligence is lost.

🌱 Why real cacao is truly healthy
High-quality cacao paste is a powerful plant food:
• Rich in iron and magnesium, supporting energy and emotional balance
• High in antioxidants, nourishing and protecting the brain
• Contains gentle adaptogenic compounds that support mood and focus
• Supports blood flow to the brain and heart, enhancing clarity and warmth

This is why cacao was traditionally understood as medicine, not indulgence.

🔥 A brief note on ceremony
Cacao was also used ceremonially, to open the heart, strengthen community, and bring people into presence. That lineage still quietly flows through Chiapas today.

☕ Where to drink great cacao in San Cristóbal de las Casas
• Kakaw Museo del Cacao
• Cacao Nativa
• Corazón de Cacao
• Jangala

🍃 Cacao here is not just something you drink.
It’s something you meet.

I’m very happy, and honestly quite moved, to finally share something that has been ripening in me for a long time.

This coming season, I’ll be co-leading a women’s retreat at Hridaya Family together with a dear friend and deeply inspiring woman, Sofia Abramian.

Sofia didn’t enter my life through a professional network or spiritual scene. She became part of my own transformation long before the idea of a retreat ever existed. She is a mother, artist, somatic therapist, doula and womb guide with over fourteen years of experience, but what she has offered me goes far beyond any title.

For many years, I was quite sceptical about women’s circles and retreats. Some felt performative, some beautiful in words but disconnected from real bodies and real life. When I met Sofia, something was immediately different. No performance. No spiritual theatre. Just presence, clarity, softness and strength, lived and integrated.

That meeting inspired me to create a women’s retreat which is not about idealised femininity, but about something real, practical, and deeply integrable into daily life. Not a performance. A transmission.

This retreat we are creating weaves ta***ic wisdom, psychotherapy, trauma-informed work and grounded somatic embodiment. Not to escape life for a few days, but to learn how to live more fully when you return.

On a personal level, this work also comes from my own journey. Years of leading, building, organising and holding responsibility slowly pulled me into a hyper-masculine mode of living. Efficient, capable, functioning… and quietly depleted. I had to relearn how to soften, listen, slow down, and trust the creative intelligence of life again.

This retreat is especially for women who are strong and capable, yet quietly longing for more aliveness, intimacy, and depth in their relationships and in life.

Balanced power is not weaker.
It is wiser. And it is enjoyable.

This retreat is born not from an idea, but from a lived necessity.

Join us in this journey of coming back to Your True Self

Chiapas is rich in authentic and breathtaking traditions.
And last week, we had the joy of experiencing one of its most iconic celebrations:
the Fiesta Grande of Chiapa de Corzo, held every year in mid to late January, just 50 minutes from Hridaya Yoga Family.

For several days, the entire town comes alive.
Men, women, elders and children all take part, dressed in traditional costumes, filling the streets with music, dance, and devotion.

According to legend, centuries ago the people of Chiapa danced, played music, and filled the streets with joy to heal a sick child —
and when the child recovered, the dancing never stopped.

Thus were born the Parachicos, with their smiling masks and rhythmic steps:
symbols of gratitude, service, and devotion expressed through celebration.

Here, the sacred and the festive move as one.
This is not something you simply watch…
you feel it, you enter it, you remember.

A living expression of the soul of Chiapas,
so close to our home,
and so deeply woven into the spirit of this land.
