NICARAGUA
SOLD OUT!!!
YOGA + ADVENTURE + LOCAL CONNECTIONS
July 1-7, 2023
Join Stacey Clark of Alma Retreats and Jordan Ashley of Souljourn Yoga for a very special and unique retreat: a week of yin and yang, movement and meditation, social change, and life altering adventure in some of the most incredible places in Nicaragua.
Starting at the ocean and immersed in nature, we will spend time on our mats experiencing coastal life and magical Nica sunsets. Our home base will be Verdad Nicaragua, steps away from the beach.
From there, we will head to the colorful artisanal town of Granada where we will spend time at The Girls Home - a non-profit that provides a safe and caring environment for vulnerable girls who are unable to stay with their families due to distinctive circumstances. While in Granada, we will stay at at Hotel Plaza Colon - a former colonial house from the 1900's that has now been transformed into a serene and sustainable boutique hotel in the heart of town.
The last stop of our adventure will be coffee country, where we will hop into a pick-up truck, journey through tobacco plantations, and arrive at a local family’s home for a tortilla making lesson, taste a cup of coffee straight from the source - an experience that many people who travel to Nicaragua never get. After a full day of adventure, we will return to Granada for a final night’s sleep.
Our week together will not only be relaxing and nourishing, but transforming - a trip you will never forget.
