WHITE CLOUD SANCTUARY 
                                                                                   

In 1972
a group of seven people moved to a remote environment of Costa Rica
with the aim of living in Consciousness
and together reach a higher level of being, outside of their personal self.
And so, the White Cloud Sanctuary, Center for the Conscious Development of Man, was born.

Reconnect and awaken to your Essence
Understand deeper the nature of reality and the Mind
Explore higher levels of Consciousness & human potential


Welcome to White Cloud Sanctuary, a non profit Hermitage Retreat and Study Center dedicated to Higher Consciousness development and collective Enlightenment.

Founded in 1972, the center is under the spiritual direction of Gailon, whose teachings comes from different schools of thought (Daoist and Gurdjieffian in essence), his own experience and vision.

The Sanctuary, home today to 3 members,  is accepting new students.

You can choose to experience a One-on-One Personal Intensive Retreat or apply for a long term stay (90-days trial) and eventually become a permanent member.

White Cloud is not an ashram or public temple, rules are stricter and it is not open to all, but we invite you to consider to join us if you've had enough with ordinary life and are ready to withdraw from the "world" as you know it, 
feel the calling to Self transformation and understand the need to work with others on the same path. 

Please take some time and read the experience of those that have passed by before, their testimonials

White Cloud is dedicated to research and education to advance understanding of the nature and potentials of consciousness. The purpose of this project is to establish an open environment for investigating consciousness in which long-term retreatants can probe the inner world of the mind withouth the worry of visa's, food or noise.
The more support we receive, the more people we can benefit, and there are many ways in which you can help implement these aims: (1) You could help us financially by donating to the cause; (2) you may help with various tasks needed to help achieve our aims; and  (3) simply telling as many people about us as possible as word-of-mouth is a powerful tool indeed.

I came to The White Cloud after a series of breakthroughs in meditation. After 33 years of practice I finally had found the level of connection & alignment to Source which I knew to be true if only a beginning still!My teachers were presenting me with a challenge to begin to teach some of what I had learned yet most times when I got up from meditating – I left the experience – couldn’t stay with it, got caught up in externals and tripped up- finding myself flat on my face- frequently literally and figuratively- and this didn’t bide well for me as a teacher! I knew I needed training in staying connected as I moved through my waking hours, I hoped Tai Chi or ChiGong would helped me. Meeting Gailon and the staff here was such a wonderful surprise- to find that above all- he could hold that Space- in Essence, Source, 1st Cause (whatever you might call it- it was the place I had spent so many years trying to reach- but couldn’t hold). And in that Space he would open his eyes, connect, move, communicate, and with some assistance I could join him there. I have met several in this life who were called Master  and read the works & stories of many Masters, yet in 33 years or so, since first learning to meditate and see light, I have never met a Master Teacher, in a body, who could sit in that light and teach. Gailon is one of these, and we are lucky to have him here with us, his teachings are delivered from Essence with real Intelligence, Richness and integrity. I am grateful and hope to return soon.
