4th Year-End Retreat · 5 years of Marce Anahata

From Gallop
to Meadow

From the fire of the Horse to the softness of the Goat

A two-day retreat in the mountains of Barbosa to release a year that ran too fast, offer to the fire what weighs on you and welcome the new cycle with calm, art and community.

The passage

We release the gallop. We return to stillness.

In the Chinese zodiac, 2026 is the year of the Fire Horse: drive, courage, action… and also the rush and exhaustion of living at full gallop. 2027 brings the Goat: pause, art, sensitivity and community. This ritual is the bridge between them.

Bonfire during a past Year-End Ritual

The Horse · 2026

Untamed fire. Action, drive and courage… and the weariness of rushing. We honor it and let it go.

Dawn practice with mountain views

The Goat · 2027

Pause and listening. Art, sensitivity, community and care for our emotional foundations. We make room for it.

The Year of the Goat begins with Chinese New Year on February 6, 2027. In December we prepare to welcome it.

We come here to live the ritual: we spend almost all our time together in practice, and the house is our place to rest.

  • Less than an hour from Medellín. Any car can get there.
  • 4 shared bedrooms, 15 beds and 3.5 bathrooms.
  • Fire pit, pool, hammocks and gardens.
