We invite you to light the fire of devotion for your spiritual practice.
Over 7 days and 6 nights, we will call La Gracia our home — nestled among the trees in the beautiful coastal town of Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Together we will practice meditation, breathwork, and yoga; explore the body's inner and outer landscapes; investigate the nature of the heart; and cultivate inner refuge within a small community of artists, community builders, and practitioners.
This is a space held for deep insight, connection, and solitude — all skill levels welcome. We are calling in our global community to join the circle and come home to our true nature, together.
Limited space available. We will respond to sign ups in the order they are received. Please send us an email if you have any questions.

heart of devotion retreat operates
on the buddhist principle of dana
instructors & Host Bio
This retreat is offered in the spirit of dana — generosity — rather than a fixed transaction. There is no set price, because we believe this offering is priceless and want it accessible to all, regardless of financial means.
Giving on dana isn't about "free" — it's an invitation to shift from a transactional mindset to a relational one, and to ask not how much can I have, but how does my heart move me to give. Whatever you offer in return is a reflection of your own practice of generosity, and it directly sustains our ability to keep offering these experiences.

Offer your gift in reciprocity before, during and/or after retreat→ [payment link]
FAQ
Only 15 spots available. We will respond to sign ups in the order they are received.
Please send us an email if you have any questions. More information about transportation
and accomodations can be found on La Gracia's website.
