THE ACTIVITIES
Tao de Libertad is situated away from the hustle and bustle of the main town, GL. It is a quieter part of the Island, and feels like you are in the middle of your own tropical getaway. You can go on amazing adventures and experience the culture, around the local towns of Sta Fe and Libertad. (Only a 5 – 10 min walk). You can also venture out the back through the rice fields.
The average temperature is 25 degrees tropical weather. The schedule for the retreat is based around surfing; and the tides, swell and winds to get the best possible conditions.
Every day we will start the morning with a meditation and morning joint rotation and Qigong warm up. Then after every surf, I will be showing you all of the Body rehabilitation work and compensation techniques to reset the body. After food etc, I will be passing on more techniques and philosophy around the meditations and add more depth so that we can then practice them in the following days.
Our goal is to surf as many times a day as our guest wish while getting the absolute best possible condition. Allowing for tides winds and swell directions, we will know (most of the time) where we will be headed for the first surf each day.
With this in mind… our schedule for morning meditation and breakfast can change due to where we will be surfing.
