Boquete: 1-Day Personal Growth Workshop & Papayal River Swim｜Panama

Step away from the usual tourist trail and into something deeper. This full-day retreat takes you to Bijagual, near Boquete, in the lowlands of Chiriquí, 45 minutes from Boquete.

You'll spend the day working on yourself through a series of body and mind exercises, guided by two Dutch performance artists who've built their practice, (the Same Method) around presence, awareness, denoising, and inner compassing.

The morning starts with a guided shadow meditation and ChiKung session, easing you into the day and into your body.

After drinks and a snack, you'll move into exercises focused on denoising - learning to quiet the mental chatter - and presence, the practice of actually being where you are.

After a freshly prepared lunch, the afternoon shifts to physical awareness work: tuning into how your body moves, holds tension, and communicates.

From there, you'll head to the Papayal River for a refreshing swim in one of Chiriquí's most beautiful hidden spots, surrounded by untouched nature.

The day closes with a 432Hz sound bath meditation, letting everything settle, followed by time for reflection and conversation.

No prior experience in meditation or personal development is needed - just a willingness to slow down and open up to new personal insights.

Please note that this is not a luxury wellness retreat: we run everything by ourselves, and work together with our guests with the mission of bringing people closer to themselves.
