Sumac Kawsay Healing Retreat
6 days in the Ecuadorian Andes with Krystal Sandoval and Barbara Sanchez
February 12th - February 18th 2026
This retreat is more than travel — it is an immersion into Sumaq Kawsay, the ancestral Andean philosophy of living in beauty and harmony. Rooted in ancient wisdom, Sumaq Kawsay calls us to live in balance: with our own bodies and emotions, with the Earth that sustains us, with our communities and relationships, and with the unseen forces that guide us.
For the Andean peoples, true well-being is never found in isolation. Instead, it flows from reciprocity — the sacred exchange of giving and receiving with respect. It is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember that we are apart of something much greater than ourselves.
Throughout this curated experience, you will be guided into a rhythm of connection and presence. Mornings begin with restorative movement to awaken your body. Days unfold with intimate encounters with local communities, immersive cultural experiences, and private ceremonies that honor both the land and your own inner journey. Evenings invite reflection, nourishing cuisine, and meaningful conversation.
Every detail has been designed for you to feel both held and inspired — blending luxury and adventure with profound cultural connection. This is not simply a journey abroad; it is a reawakening of how you walk through life.
