On Day 1 of the Afro-Cuban Retreat™, you’ll arrive at the airport, where our dedicated transfer service will greet you and transport you directly to our serene retreat venue. Once there, you’ll settle into your selected room, preparing yourself for the experiences ahead. We’ll then gather for a warm welcome dinner, where you’ll be introduced to the week’s schedule and fellow participants. To set a harmonious tone for your retreat, we’ll begin with a traditional ritual designed to cleanse your aura and invite positive, empowering forces. This sacred ceremony honors the spirits of the Orishas and the Yoruba tradition, creating a spiritually uplifting environment to ensure you start your retreat with a refreshed and open spirit.
