​Our 5-day immersive retreat is designed to offer a structured yet fluid experience, allowing participants to explore their inner landscapes safely and meaningfully.

​At Syntara Retreats, the process begins with an application where we carefully assess each participant’s suitability, ensuring there are no contraindications for a safe and beneficial experience. If we see no obstacles, we invite you to preparation phase.

From there, we begin the essential process of cultivating the right mindset and foundation for the retreat. This includes a meeting with our team, followed by one-on-one and group preparation sessions. These meetings help you clarify your intentions, address any concerns, and allow us to start building a connection, both with us facilitators and the fellow participants.

By the time we arrive at the retreat, we aim to have established a caring and trusting relationship, allowing you to step into the experience feeling supported, understood, and ready for deep exploration and transformation.
