Accommodation
- La Casa de Loto has three private rooms and two shared rooms (with three and four beds).
La Casa de Loto is a Meditation and Yoga Retreat Center, high up in the magical Colombian mountains, founded and run by Pema Tsering. Here we offer you daily guided meditations, yoga classes, question and answer rounds, freshly cooked organic food, and a variety of optional massages and treatments. Our guests come here for many reasons, but they all amount to essentially the same thing — wanting a more easeful relationship with life. The place is surrounded by beautiful nature, and our experienced teachers and staff create the ideal conditions for you to turn inward, letting go, and to reconnect to the essence of life, where lasting happiness can be found. You find us only 1 hour away from Medellin City, and 40 minutes from its international airport MDE/JMC.
At the heart of all our programs are the Buddhist and Vedic practices of samatha meditation (calming the mind), vipassana meditation (insight into the nature of phenomena), yoga asanas (postures), and pranayama (breathing exercises). To support your stay and inner growth, we also imply a practice of noble silence for five days each week, which is essential for cultivating more awareness of who we really are. All doubts can be cleared up in our daily question and answer rounds, which take place after the guided meditation

Tiempo para ti mismoEl lugar es muy bonito y tranquilo, debe tener en cuenta que debe entrar 40 minutos por carretera destapada. Es un lugar de silencio, paz, encuentro con uno mismo, por eso es muy poco lo que se habla y eso es espectacular, porque sabes que estás en lo tuyo si que nadie te hable, ni te pregunte de tu vida; porque para hablar y escuchar a otros tenemos nuestras vidas diarias y el ruido constante.
Pema es muy amable, sus ojos inspiran paz y profundidad. Te hace sentir acogido.
La clase de yoga es maravillosa, con Lila de Brasil, es un ser precioso y dulce.
De los masajes me hice el ayurveda con Carlos, muy rico
La casa es cómoda limpia y tienes varios espacios para sentarte, ya sea en la sala, el deck, la cabaña, los caminos, el prado
Era mi primera vez compartiendo habitación y todo salió muy bien, porque si vas a un retiro vas allí con una mínima consciencia de respeto
La comida es muy rica, variada y vegetariana si así lo deseas o con opción de pollo al almuerzo. Recomiendo llevar snack como granolas o chocolates para los entretiempos.
Hay frutas para consumir en cualquier momento, así como agua, te y café ayurvedico
Es un espacio para entrar a tu interior, así que ve con ganas de silencio, mucha meditación, leer, comer sano
Lleva chaquetas, tennis, camisetas porque hace frío
Gracias Pema, Lila, Mery y Carlos
