Join Susan Wrba for a 6 night / 7 day retreat to Bocas del Toro, Panama! This retreat offers you the chance to reconnect with yourself, with community, and the harmonious rhythms of this beach and jungle paradise.

Our retreat will be hosted at Bluff Beach Retreat, a our private, beachfront oasis for the week. Our boutique retreat center is located in one of Central America's largest and most bio diverse rain forests and features a 65 foot lap pool, secluded beach, and nature reserve where you will see wild sloths, monkeys, toucans, and more. We will have exclusive use of the entire property, which includes 4 beach houses, all with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens for your use. Please see below for rooming options and descriptions. 

Each day will invite you to dive deeper into yoga classes and meditation led by Susan, hosted in our beautiful open-air shala with all mats & props provided. Drift off to savasana to the sounds of crashing waves as you re-set your nervous system.

You will also be nourished by three delicious, creative and locally sourced meals each day from our fabulous private chef Nicole, and will have plenty of free time to relax, restore and adventure at will. We are also including one group Island, Boating & Wildlife excursion in your retreat package, so that you can get a feel for the magic and natural beauty that the Bocas del Toro archipelago has to offer.

This is a true beach retreat, and in your free time, you can lounge in the serenity of our near-private beach, unwind by the pool, indulge in an expertly given massage, or explore the surrounding natural wonders. Choose your own adventure: bike to hidden beaches, hike the lush trails, go horseback riding, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, or immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to be as active or as relaxed as you wish!

Terms & Conditions for Retreat Participation

The purchase of travel insurance is required for this trip.

Most travel insurance policies can help protect you in the event of unexpected trip delays or cancellations due to airline disruptions, family emergencies, illness, or injury. Coverage can also help demonstrate to the host country that you are financially prepared to cover emergency services that may be needed during your stay.

SolSeed does not sell or provide travel insurance. Any insurance offers you may see during checkout are provided by third-party providers, and you are free to choose the policy and provider that best fit your needs.

If you’d like a convenient place to compare options, we’ve found InsureMyTrip to be a helpful online marketplace. We’ve also had excellent experiences with Trawick International and their customer service, and have heard consistently positive feedback from AAA and American Express members who have purchased travel insurance through those organizations. Additionally, some travel-focused credit cards—such as the Chase Sapphire® cards—may include built-in travel insurance benefits when trip-related expenses are paid with the card. Coverage and eligibility vary by card and issuer, so we recommend reviewing your card’s benefits guide or contacting the card issuer directly to confirm what protections apply.

We strongly encourage you to speak directly with a travel insurance agent to discuss your specific coverage needs and to make sure you understand what your policy does—and does not—cover.
