Meditation practices are offered most mornings, and again in the evening just prior to sunset. You may also ask for private guidance to deepen your meditation practice, or learn how to establish a home practice after this retreat.

Once you’re comfortably paddling along, your guide will help you make your way to a local island. You’ll have plenty of time as you paddle to admire the gorgeous colors of the sunrise for around.
