Accommodations

The retreat center’s name translates as “love from the ancient forest.” It is nestled in an oasis of native plants and fruit trees, nourished by a magnificent waterfall in the Sacred Valley of Peru. This lovely spot is in the Andes Mountains and home of the twelve mountains known as Apus—“luminous beings.” Those who come to the center have the opportunity to commune directly with these mountains, as well as with the local curanderos and pacos (healers), who engage with us for ritual and Despacho ceremony.

The guests at this center enjoy delicious meals with locally-grown and lovingly-prepared ingredients. Each guest-room is a reflection of the Peruvian culture of the Sacred Valley. The entire center embodies kindness, love, and wholeness that seem to permeate the magical place.

His kindness and celebratory moods are infectious. Sianna and Masood showed me how to step up my place in the world. I was fully rejuvenated to enter back into life as a new person.” – Peter G.

“I have been on 2 retreats with Sianna, Masood and the Rasa Yoga Collective. I can honestly say that they were life changing. Both retreats were in Glastonbury, the first in 2017 and the second in 2018. The retreats were extremely well organized and the supporting teachers were outstanding. The food and accommodations were excellent. Sianna, Masood and the Rasa team couldn’t have been more gracious and welcoming as hosts and I would not hesitate to do another retreat with them in the future. A retreat with Sianna, Masood and Rasa Yoga is an unforgettable, life-changing experience and I can’t wait for the opportunity to do another one.” – Ian D.

“My training and retreats with Sianna are EPIC. She truly has a gift for weaving together the right group of people in the right place and at the right time to create pure magic. I always feel restored, rejuvenated, and filled with love. Retreats and training with Sianna are like entering a Hogswarts’ portal. When you leave, you’re filled with love and magic! Every retreat and training I’ve ever done with Sianna Sherman is pure magic. Life changing and transformative… you’ll never be the same again.” – Jackie F.

Despacho Ceremony

The ceremony masters offer us their ancestral knowledge in this special practice and respect for Mother Earth.The ceremonies of offerings, or despacho’s, commonly acknowledged by the Andeanpopulation as payments to the Earth or Pachamama, are rituals of ancestral origin that are part of a system of reciprocity between the material world and the spiritual world. This reciprocity is called “ayni.” This ritual’s purpose is to return to Mother Earth what she has given you: our lives, which include our deepest desires of Life, what our achievements in Life and our desires in Life.
