Chirripó, Costa Rica · 27 January – 3 February 2027
A Visionary Art & Embodiment Retreat
Seven days in the Chirripó jungle with Luis Tamani and Maxim — painting, movement, and the remembering of what you already are.
Join us for a transformational retreat in the sacred mountains of Chirripó, Costa Rica.
Step into a portal of deep creativity and remembrance — an immersive week for those who feel the call to awaken the visionary within, through art, embodiment, and the alchemy of the soul.
We are honored to co-create this rare gathering with Luis Tamani, a master artist whose work has touched hearts around the world. Through his visionary teachings, you will be guided to open your creative channel and express from a place beyond the mind — where spirit speaks through color, movement, and form.
Together we will weave a sacred week of daily creative workshops with Luis Tamani, and a deep exploration of the inner landscape through art, movement, visualization and meditation with Maxim.
Held in a lush sanctuary surrounded by the wild beauty of Costa Rica, this retreat is designed to nourish your spirit, support your transformation, and inspire a deeper connection to your creative essence.
You do not need to be a trained artist to attend — only a willingness to surrender to the mystery, listen deeply, and allow your soul to speak through your hands and heart.
Come as you are. Leave as more of yourself. A space to be moved by life itself.
Visionary Artist · Child of the Amazon · Messenger of Nature
Born in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon and raised on the sacred banks of the Ucayali River, Luis grew up rich not in material things but in connection — to the earth, the trees, and the waters that carry ancient songs. Nature was his first teacher and remains the deepest source of his inspiration.
In 2002 he began formal studies at the Eduardo Meza Saravia School of Art in Pucallpa, immersing himself in cubism, realism and abstraction. Over time his work shifted into a more organic, vibrant and spiritually alive style — a visual tribute to the living spirit of nature.
“How can art help us remember our place in the sacred web of life? How can color and form open the door to communion, healing, and harmony? This is the journey I walk — and the one I invite you to join.”
This intimate workshop offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from Luis, centered around the creation of a single powerful portrait developed throughout the week. You'll work continuously on one main piece on canvas — allowing for depth, precision, and a more embodied creative process.
Focused exercises — sketching studies, composition work, and color explorations — build your technical foundation while directly informing your central artwork. The process moves from foundational portrait construction into refining facial features, building color, and creating depth, light and atmosphere.
You'll explore advanced techniques such as transparencies, layering, and the rendering of elements like smoke, fire, and light.
A key focus is expanding portraiture beyond the human form — integrating nature, sacred geometry, and animal transitions into the composition, harmonizing figure and environment with clarity and balance.
Visionary Artist · Movement Alchemist · Facilitator of Transformation
Maxim is a multidisciplinary artist whose path bridges visionary art, sacred movement, and meditative practice. A former professional dancer and devoted student of ancestral traditions, his work is rooted in the belief that creativity is a sacred force for transformation.
Weaving together movement, breathwork, and art, his offerings are not performances — they are portals. Through intentional dance, guided meditation, and creative expression, participants are gently led back to the essence of their being.
Art as prayer. Movement as awakening. Embodiment as remembrance.
Nestled at the foothills of Costa Rica's Chirripó mountain, a lush tropical sanctuary surrounded by crystalline rivers, abundant jungle, and majestic views. This sacred land invites you to slow down, reconnect with your essence, and be moved by the vibrant pulse of nature.
Lovingly created by visionary hosts, each detail of the space — from the hand-built cabins to the healing gardens — has been curated to support your creative flow, healing journey, and spiritual deepening. Nourishing organic meals, locally sourced and crafted with love, complete the haven.

"I arrived creatively blocked and emotionally disconnected. I left inspired, grounded, and filled with clarity and vision."
"Nothing felt performative. It felt human, real, and sacred. A rare depth of authenticity throughout the entire experience."
"The combination of art, movement, nature, and community created something I have been searching for my entire creative life."
