retreats
Silent retreats provide a sanctuary for self-reflection and deep inner exploration. All of our retreats are rooted in the ancient guidance and wisdom of Yoga and Tibetan Buddhism, so we’re practicing tried and true methods to attain inner peace.
STEP BY STEP
A 7-day pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago in Spain
September 19-25, 2026 with Haiyan & Laura
Pilgrimage is a profound spiritual practice.
This 7-day journey is an invitation to connect to the sacred practice of pilgrimage, which is deeply meaningful at Sama and one of Haiyan's most personal practices. Get a small taste by joining us to walk a portion of the Camino de Santiago, a path walked for over a thousand years by seekers, mystics, farmers, penitents, poets, and wanderers, each carrying a meaningful prayer in their hearts.
We will begin in O Cebreiro, a mountain village with stone churches and its own legends of faith and miracles. From there, we'll walk slowly and deliberately toward Santiago de Compostela, allowing the road to become our teacher. At Santiago de Compostela we'll close our pilgrimage at the shrine of Saint James the Great, now the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
Please note that is not a hike or a luxury tour, nor will it be silent! It is a pilgrimage and therefore will be rooted in simplicity and surrender.
