About This Retreat

El Retiro Party is our yearly gathering for everyone who makes retreats happen in the Dominican Republic — the leaders who run them, the venue owners who host them, the practitioners who teach at them, and the travellers who keep coming back. Two days, one venue, and a programme built around the two things that make a retreat work: practice and people.

Mornings open with movement on the sand. Afternoons run on parallel workshops — breathwork, sound, cacao, mobility, and a business track for anyone building their own retreat. Evenings belong to a long communal table and live music that runs until the last person leaves.

You do not need to be a teacher, a regular, or particularly flexible. Every session is built to work for a complete beginner standing next to someone with twenty years of practice. Come for the weekend, come for a day, come alone — most people do.

Day By Day

Your Itinerary

  1. 01
    Day 1

    Arrival, opening circle & the long table

    Check-in opens at 2pm with welcome drinks and time to settle. At 5pm we gather for an opening circle on the beach — a short round of introductions and a grounding practice as the light drops. Dinner is served at one long table at 7pm, followed by the first live set of the weekend.

  2. 02
    Day 2

    Sunrise practice & workshop morning

    Sunrise yoga at 6:30am for anyone who made it up, coffee and breakfast from 8am. From 10am the programme splits into parallel workshops — breathwork, sound journey, cacao ceremony, mobility, and a session on building and pricing your own retreat. Lunch at 1pm.

  3. 03
    Day 2 — evening

    Closing session & sunset set

    We close the weekend together at 4pm with a final circle, then hand the evening over to the music. Departures are open — stay for the sunset set or head off whenever suits you.

Frequently Asked

Questions & Answers

None at all. Every session is designed so a complete beginner and a long-time practitioner can stand side by side and both get something out of it.

No — the pass covers the programme and meals. We send a list of nearby places to stay at a range of prices as soon as you book, including a few with a rate held for attendees.

Yes. The day pass covers whichever day you pick, including that day's meals and workshops.

Most people come alone. The opening circle exists precisely so that nobody spends the weekend on the edge of the room.

Swimwear, something warm for the evening, and a mat if you have one — we keep spares, but they go fast.
