Program

The training lasts for 23 days in total. The first day of the course is dedicated to arriving at Barranquilla, Colombia followed by the opening ceremony with dinner in the evening. The last day of the course is dedicated to departing Barranquilla with the graduation ceremony being held the day before.

You will be waking up early every morning to feel the serenity of nature surrounding you. This will ease your mind for early morning meditation and help you get grounded before the busy day ahead. During the day, you will have two breaks between the classes so you can unwind and relax on the beach, rent a bicycle and discover the surroundings, have a quick nap, or go to a cafe.

Each week you will have a day off (3 in total) to enjoy the surroundings and recharge your energy.
