Alma Chakana

Our home, and the home of this work. A private sanctuary in the jungle just outside of Tulum, where day retreats and full immersions happen.

COME FOR A DAY
Alma Chakana, our sanctuary just outside of Tulum

The place

Alma Chakana is built by an amazing family who used to call it their home, and we are grateful to be in charge of it for the next while (help us keep it). It's a unique noncommercial space designed specifically for deep work and peaceful reflection, fully self-sustainable, eco-friendly and hand-made. It's a true hidden gem in the jungle, surrounded by lush vegetation, a perfect place for deep internal work.

When you come for a full immersion or a day retreat, the place is yours alone. We never share it with other guests.
