WELCOME

La Casa de Loto is a Buddhist retreat center nestled in the magical mountains of Colombia, dedicated to transmit to you a traditional path to awakening through the practices of samatha and vipassana meditation (calm abiding & insight), daily two-hour yoga classes to strengthen the mind and the body, and noble silence from 6pm to 10am every day, to cultivate more inner peace, clarity, and mindfulness. ​

​

Furthermore we offer you cozy accommodations, freshly cooked Ayurvedic food, and a variety of optional massages and other therapies. Our highly experienced teachers and staff, along with the stunning nature surroundings and groups of maximum 9 guests at a time, create the ideal conditions for you to turn inward, let go of stress, and reconnect to the essence of life, where lasting happiness can be found. You can find us just an hour away from Medellín's international airport (JMC/MDE).

 

If you wish to start or deepen your meditation and yoga practice, and enjoy a calming and spiritual atmosphere, you are happily welcome here. Check-in is on Fridays, check-out on Thursdays, and you can join us for one or several weeks.
