Dominican Republic

Return to yourself, one element at a time

April 2 -7, 2027

Natura Cabana

with Kyle James Adam

We spend our lives building: schedules, identities, and armor. This retreat is about taking it all apart, gently, so we can rebuild ourselves intentionally.

Many ancient traditions teach that the journey inward runs in reverse of the order of creation: you begin with the densest element and release layer by layer. Over six days on the Dominican Republic's north coast, we walk that path together, one element each day, from the heaviness of Earth to the openness of Ether. We root into the sand. We will flow through waterfalls. We burn off what we've outgrown. We learn from our breath. On our last night, we float in still water beneath the stars, listening to sound ripple through us, until there are no boundaries between you and everything else.

Yoga, meditation, breathwork, adventure, and sound are all shaped around each day's element. Come as you are -  carrying the weight of everyday life. You leave lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself.

Natura Cabana began as one family’s home on a quiet stretch of beach near Cabarete. Today it is 12 bungalows and 2 rooms, built from reclaimed wood and palm thatch, in a garden that runs down to the sand. No two are alike. We will spread between six of these bungalows and 2 rooms. Only the two deluxe kings offer a fully private bungalow. Every other bungalow is shared with private rooms.

After a welcome drink and time to settle in, we will all land together for a welcome circle and a gentle grounding practice. Enjoy a local dinner after our first practice.
