About this trip

When was the last time you gave yourself an un-rushed moment to pause with your own thoughts, to sync to the steady beat of your heart, to feel the aliveness of your existence as warm ocean breeze skims past your sun-kissed skin? 


This is your invitation to meet yourself in the moment. To come alive to a life painted by the vibrant colours of your dreams. To reconnect to nature, to others, to beauty, to breath. This is your invitation to a moment that will remind you of the essence you carry at the core of your soul. 


Your renewal awaits you. Say yes to the moment, say yes to yourself. 


Let’s say ‘yes’ together and meet where the lush mountains of Panama plunge into the Pacific Ocean. We’ll bask in the surf and sun. And gather to move, meditate, breathe & reflect. We’ll eat good food and forge good friendships. With plenty of time for beach naps and pool laughs.


Sansara Yoga & Surf  is a world renowned luxury retreat centre located on the Pacific coast of Cambutal, Panama. This boutique resort celebrates the meeting of lush mountains with black sand beaches and turquoise tide. 


As a special and sacred place created for the wellness-inspired traveller, Sansara’s amenities are designed with your health in mind. Offering an open-air yoga shala, endless water and mountain views, fresh and healthy cuisine, hammocks sprinkled across the property, and spa services to order.

I loved this retreat. The people were amazing, the venue was gorgeous and even the food was far beyond expectations. Randelle is a skilled facilitator and her Rare Method movement has created a lasting shift that I can still feel after the retreat. Thank you all 💜

It's difficult the put into words how beautiful this retreat was, but that's how the most awe inspiring things leave you in life - speechless. From the retreat location, the food, the laughs, the cries, the pool, the people and of course our retreat facilitator, Randelle. This retreat will be a memory forever embedded in my soul.
By Hannah T for Raro Santuário Retreat - Londre Special Offer on Sep 10, 2024
This was an amazing trip, and something I wish I had found years ago. Randelle and team ran a great retreat with structure but enough flexibility to also feel like you could relax into the week. If Somatic work is of interest to you, Randelle helps you to wade into it slowly and meaningfully.
