Experiential Learning Through All Your Senses

Explore the interconnected ecology of people, trees, birds, fungi and animals in the tropical rainforests of Panama.

Unplug yourself from the hyper-stimulation of digital screens and urban environments so you can experience greater peace and tranquility exploring your senses in the tropical jungle.

Our next experiential learning retreat is going to be at Selina Kalu Yala, a co-living community within an off-the-grid village in the mountains south of Panama City.

Surrounded by a tropical mountain preserve on the western edge of Chagres National Park, we will go on experiential learning adventures hiking in the mountains, swimming in natural swimming pools, and exploring the natural wonders of Panama's tropical jungles.

Each day you will learn eco-mindfulness practices that combine mindful awareness, following your curiosity and tuning into all your senses to learn about and experience the tropical rainforest ecology.

Eco-mindfulness involves a variety of conscious breathing, embodied movement and immersive flow triggers for grounding yourself in the "felt presence" of your immediate experience.

While we encourage you to unplug from the Internet for most of this group experience, you will receive naturalist training that you can use anywhere for identifying local trees, plants, mushrooms, birds and animals for which it is recommended that you take photos and document your ecological discoveries with your smartphone.
