Summary:

Soul Dreamers is a conscious eco-leadership program facilitating creativity and soul searching through highly personalized eco-retreats in the heart of Colombia. During the program, you will be learning about nature, local culture, eco-tourism activities, and eco-conservation projects. At the foremost, we will experience a self-leadership and personal healing journey back to your essence. We will embrace a wide range of emotions supported by our cohort and the communities hosting us across the journey. 

We will embrace together the power of stillness and nature, everyone being able to access a reset button while enhancing one’s clarity of purpose in connection to themselves, and the loved ones around us. 

The activities are de facto local community immersions. We will be visiting stunning eco-touristic facilities, connect to the local nature conservation projects, and establish the seeds for long term friendships and potential collaborations we may want to continue later on.

The Suriki Reserve Program

We have chosen the stunning Darien Delta in Colombia bordering Panama as a place for self-reintegration and a constructive healing pathway in connection to the beauty of the tropical jungle and its unique exotic animals. Here you will have a chance to listen to a myriad of sounds, see various types of monkeys and unique birds, and listen to a heart warming family story of loss, resilience, forgiveness, and self-love. 

Our guests will start or deepen their own inner spiritual journeys by  understanding the simplicity,  harmony, and magic of the jungle forest. Carefully guided by the wonderful Jimenez Family, and its rural eco-community which suffered hardships during Colombia’s internal conflict, our guests will have a chance to connect to the forests and wetlands. 

We will flow with the river embarking on a boat along the waters of the Darien delta. We will marvel at the reflections on the water, the exotic flora, and the river’s unique environment.

We will delve deep into the flooded rainforests, only accessible by boat, and find pristine aquatic gardens. We will observe and feel the wetlands, connect with the abundant amphibians that inhabit every liquid surface.

We will connect with the Jiménez siblings and join their cause towards ecological leadership; engage with the local community, La Pola, to learn about their lifestyle – and their generational shift from exploitation to Conservation.

We will explore the Suriki Reserve’s ecosystems guided by the local youth, through their knowledge, and learn to identify the endemic flora and fauna.

We will collaborate with the Surikí Nature Reserve in their task to monitor local species, learn about the Reserve’s profile on species such as the jaguar, manatee, spider monkey, along with other endangered species.

We will take part in the hosting family’s daily routines, forest restoration efforts, finish off the day listening to their life stories and the challenges they’ve overcome as a community.

Through the Soul Dreamers experience, there will be a clearer understanding and healing of own emotional blockages, deepening self love, reigniting creativity, and connecting to one’s own deep heart-felt intuition of the road ahead.

Our Soul Dreamers will have a chance to inspire themselves, their group peers, and strongly connect to the eco-community they will be visiting.

Participants will leave feeling transformed through a reconnection to themselves and their own personal circles inspired & guided to make a tangible change in their lives or the world around them.

Facilitator of the retreat: Enilda Jimenez 

Social and environmental leader in the region, graduated in social psychology and with experience in healing and forgiveness processes through caring for nature. After having suffered the war through forced displacement and the murder of her father, she managed to meet her perpetrator, forgive him and return to her land with her 20 brothers where today they rebuild their lives by running an eco-farm, and restoring the forests nearby that the war also affected

Who Are We Targeting?

This inner transformation is specifically aimed at the conscious tourists who have the ability to use this process and its results (empathy, integration, reconnection with self, clarity of mind, creativity, sharper focus) to go forward and instigate eco sustainable change in their own lives in the aftermath. The Soul Dreamers become authentic Compassionate Eco-Leaders ready to live and create from a place of deep integrity, drive & purpose.
