My experience at Marmorwa was incredible. It started the moment I arrived in the tranquil mountains of North Western Colombia. There were no artificial sounds interfering and the views were pure. Every morning, we were tasked with climbing the mountain and meditating for around an hour until the sun comes up. In the beginning it was challenging, but I got used to it over time. The food was fresh and the work was rewarding. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to connect more with nature and is open to new experiences.

Staying at the Center was one of the most memorable experiences of my entire trip and I'm very glad to have been. The mountains are incredibly beautiful and I was surprised by how much self-understanding I gained in the short time I was there. I spent hours a day reflecting quietly on my life, values and journey — the tranquil environment and intention towards sacredness felt very valuable to me. I was also very grateful to get to learn about the Center culture and life! I'd recommend bringing a fair amount of your own snacks as when I was there there was not very much food :)

Where to begin ? This is the adventure of a lifetime. How good it feels to contribute to the project and being immersed in untouched Nature, meditate on top of the moutains under the shooting stars, bathing in the cold river and sharing around the fire at night, making our very own coffee and chocolate… I feel wonderfull, this was definitely the most challenging experience of my life and even one week left a mark forever. I took control back and now have plenty of tools to reuse in my life. I feel so gratefull for having the chance to share with the family andthe kids, an infinite THANKS 🤍🌱
