About this trip

Join Caro and Stacey on this self-development-focused retreat. 


We may not be aware of it, but we are always transitioning through cycles.

 When we become aware of what we want to leave behind, and then open up to it, we catalyze the shifts that bring us across the threshold to living our lives more deliberately and creatively.

Group work is the opportunity to break through to a new vista, in the company of others. 

You will be seen, heard, supported, and encouraged to discover a clearer and newfound sense of empowered momentum.

-Stacey Tompkins 


This 5 day retreat starts with daily Breathwork, meditation, and Yoga. Followed by different daily group exercises led by Stacy on growing consciousness and self-development.

This will slowly prepare us to close with a beautiful private Ceremony on the 29th.

We have a late 3 pm checkout on the 30th, giving us plenty of time to have re-integration yoga, meditation, and closing circle before your departure.  


We really look forward to hosting you and your developing self in this beautiful private Colombian eco-village. 


Whats offered

Daily Meditation, Yoga, and Breathwork followed by deep self-work/ journaling; ending with a private closing ceremony to tie it all in nicely. 

Meet Stacey

Integral Coach and Spiritual Guide

Stacey is a facilitator of meaningful, impactful, and sometimes intense group experiences. She works in a variety of ways, all of which include authenticity, honesty, vulnerability, and fierce love. She is most alive when the mystery of our world meets the tenderness of the human spirit. Dissociative states, or trance states, create powerful opportunities to explore the subconscious mind, and all of her work is in service of creating opportunities for these moments.

She has studied and worked with teachers from all over the world, and embodies an alchemy of modalities, such as BreathTrance, Groups and Retreats.

She has been referred to as a Holy Woman, Curandera, Medicine Woman, Healer and Elder.

Stacey loves working with people and holds in the highest esteem the ability to laugh and be playful with the dark and shadowy parts that keep us scrambling, anxious and/or avoidant. She loves to hold the flashlight and accompany you into your most suppressed wounds, and those pesky dark inner caves, in service of your healing and development and expanded consciousness.

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek” is her motto, and she is fearless and skilled when it comes to spelunking the psyche.

She holds an MA in Clinical Psychology and is Certified in Integral Coaching, Heart-Centered Breathwork, Psychodrama, and Kambo facilitation.

She has been married for almost 30 years, to the best angler/hockey player she’s ever known and has 2 daughters who keep her honest and bring the greatest source of love and gratitude to her life.

Her dogs, Roja and Pedrito are the second greatest sources of love.

Closing Ceremony / Kogi
ceramonia Kogi (colombian indigenous tribe)

Closing  Ceremony.

privately curated from local sources.

More details in welcome email, please email us with any further inquiries. 


Meet One of the Local Tribes 


The Kogi are one of the oldest and most traditional surviving Indigenous tribes of

South America. They consider themselves the elder brothers, they maintain the role

of wisdom keepers and guardians of the earth. They hold the responsibility to care

of wisdom keepers and guardians of the earth. They hold the responsibility to care

Some Kogis have decided to share part of their wisdom with us. So, they

occasionally come down from their sacred villages high in the Sierra Nevada

mountains to offer ceremonies to help us understand the balance of nature and

the need to honor, respect, and protect our natural world. The ceremony is led by a Kogi Mamo (Shaman). It consists in a cleansing of our energy, body, mind & soul as well as a “pagamento” (payment to the land) in which we transfer our intangible thoughts into shells as a payment to receive the blessing of the great mother.

The Mamo shares with us that these acts and mentality of taking without paying

back into the earth creates unbalance so We will reach to tune in to the harmony of

nature and offer our gratitude for all much that Mother Earth gives us.

A fun expansion of my practice, thank you!
By Monica F for Caro & Crow Catskill 84 immersion on Aug 14, 2024
Yoga asana and meditation with Caro is a dream come true! Her discipline is so motivating and delivers an exceptionally attuned physical practice, full of new discoveries, and her kindness and authenticity are so radiant. I could not recommend falling in love with her teaching more highly!!!!
By Sahar T for Gayatri Mondays on Jul 27, 2024
I loved these classes so much! Caro does an amazing job of creating a sense of community with her online peeps. The way she cues always helps me find better alignment and made poses I never would've thought I could do accessible. Love having the recordings to go back to & can't wait for the next round!
