Panamá Retreat
• Ganesh Chaturthi •
Embedded Files
This retreat takes place in the paradisiacal Bocas del Toro archipelago in Panama. It is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a profound disconnection from the city because it takes place on Bastimentos Island, where there are only a few resorts, very few inhabitants, and a lot of jungle. This disconnection from the city and its stimuli gives us the opportunity to connect with ourselves, our surroundings, and the other participants through yoga, meditation, massage therapy, adventure, and a ceremony to Ganesha.
We will enjoy 6 days of pure peace and natural magic, embraced by the warmth of the Panamanian Caribbean waters.

Bastimentos Island
Bastimentos is one of the largest and most impressive islands in the Bocas del Toro archipelago in Panama. Unlike the lively Colón Island, Bastimentos retains a wild, rustic character deeply connected to the tropical rainforest and Afro-Caribbean culture. Most of the island is part of the Isla Bastimentos National Marine Park, the first protected marine park in Panama. It safeguards vast expanses of mangroves, living coral reefs, and sea turtle nesting beaches.
Old Bank, the picturesque main town of the island, is characterized by its wooden houses on stilts and its strong Afro-Antillean heritage. Here you will hear Guari-Guari spoken (a vibrant mix of Creole English, Spanish, and indigenous languages) and taste gastronomy based on fresh seafood and coconut. Ngöbe-Buglé indigenous communities also inhabit the island, offering guided trails for sloth watching and tours on artisanal cacao farming.
How will we get there?
We will gather in Panama City and travel from there to the city of Almirante, on the continental coast of the Bocas del Toro archipelago. There we will take a boat that will take us to Bocas del Toro town, on Colón Island, where the reception office and dock for Al Natural, the resort where the retreat takes place, are located. After completing the check-in process, we will board a second boat, exclusive to the resort, and enjoy a wonderful journey through the archipelago, taking in beautiful views of its coasts and mangroves on our way to our final destination!
What is the resort like?
The place waiting for us is located literally between the sea and the jungle. All rooms, the dining area, and the yoga space have panoramic ocean views.
Yoga Space
The yoga space welcomes us with its all-wood structure, panoramic ocean views, and its own dock for meditating surrounded by the water element.
The Rooms
All rooms are situated over the sea. You can choose between an apartment or cabin layout. There is no cold weather in Bocas del Toro, so you can sleep directly connected to the scents of the jungle and the gentle sea breeze.

Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the moments of greatest energetic opening and renewal in the spiritual year. It commemorates the birth of Ganesha, the deity representing the higher intellect (Buddhi), conscious abundance, the removal of all obstacles in our path, and new beginnings.
According to tradition, this festival celebrates the moment when Ganesha was created by the goddess Parvati from the earth and given life, symbolizing the manifestation of the divine in matter. After losing his original head and receiving an elephant's head through Shiva's action, his figure became the supreme emblem of transformation: the ability to surrender the small ego to be reborn in boundless and resilient wisdom.
Beyond the legend, Ganesh Chaturthi represents a unique cosmic opportunity to start cycles with clarity and strength. During this period, the universe's energy aligns to work on the Muladhara chakra (our root), allowing us to dissolve patterns of fear, stagnation, or doubt that block our evolution. It is an invitation to release the weight of the past, activate our power of adaptation, and confidently open the door to new beginnings.
