Silent Retreat With METTA Meditation
April 13-17, 2022
Join us on the beautiful land of Tierramor in the Rio Montana hills for a restorative weekend to return to source, self, and center.
Your quest of inner landscape will be held in a container of group meditations, walking the vast land, connecting to the earth, and sharing community meals – all in silence.
Drop into the frequency of loving kindness with a virtual streaming guided Metta meditations from Rob Burbea. These transmissions will open the heart, and allow your inner visions during your silent quest to be felt clearly and extended outwards beyond yourself into the greater collective.
This experience is a beautiful opportunity to clear your energy field and mind from distractions, and return to the still + silent place within your being where truth and love reside.
The experience begins with a streamed Metta meditation on Wednesday evening to open the ceremony space if you’d like to join us for that to learn about the intention of the weekend and what Metta meditation is. Then Thursday evening, the silent ceremony begins after a streamed transmission about cultivating self compassion.
Intention: To create a safe container for you to explore your inner landscapes and return to the truth, love, and presence within. The entire journey will be silent, with the exception of the streamed Metta meditations. The intention with these meditations is to embody loving kindness, compassion, and understanding.

🌳 ABOUT ROB BURBEA 💜
We’ll be streaming Metta meditation audios presented by Rob Burbea. He was a British meditation teacher who’s “ways of seeing” or “ways of looking” open up new perspectives on traditional Dharma practice. Exploring ways of looking can help the meditator notice fabrication, and fabricate less and less, resulting in a deep understanding of emptiness and a reduction in suffering. But skillful fabrication can also result in a sense of beauty, significance, sacredness, and participation in the world that is characteristic of Rob’s Soulmaking Dharma

Can I bring my car and what are the roads like?
If you are renting or bringing your own car, make sure you are driving a four-wheel drive (4x4). The majority of roads are unpaved, dirt roads and require a specialized car. You will be able to safely park your vehicle in the designated parking areas at Tierramor.
How do I get to Tierramor?
You can drive, or take a taxi service from Nosara.
1. Type into GPS the following address: Mini Super Y Licores Río Montaña, located in the mango grove area between Nosara and Ostional.
2. Once there, turn into the road towards the mountains which is next to the Mini super Y licores.
3. Head straight for about 0.5 km until you reach a T junction. There will be a river on your right and a road on your left. Go left and follow the road for another mile.
4. You will pass through a teak forest, go over a small bridge and a 2.5 mile dirt road up the hill will take you to Tierramor.
5. You will see signs along the way and a member of our team will meet you up top to help with parking.
How far out of town is Tierramor?
We are located outside of Nosara in the Rio Montana area.
The easiest way to get into town is by car (4x4 necessary) which takes around ~25 minutes in the dry season. The roads can be really bad in the wet season, which makes this a longer and more challenging trip.
How far is the beach from Tierramor?
We are ~25 minutes away from the beach by car (4x4 necessary). There are sometimes shared rides available. The roads can be really bad in the wet season, which makes this a longer and more challenging trip.
Which are the best months to come?
The Dry Season, which extends from November to April, coincides with the peak tourist season. During these months, camping and casita accommodations are at their prime, and it is generally the most enjoyable time to stay at Tierramor. Please note March and April are the hottest months in the Guanacaste region.
The Green Season is exceptionally stunning but can present more challenges, including occasional power and internet outages, heavy rainfall, and difficult road conditions, primarily in the months of August through October.
The weather is greatly influenced by the annual climate patterns.
Is it possible to buy land or a house?
These opportunities are coming soon! Please sign up to our newsletter to stay up to date with this.
