White Cloud
a mountain temple
costa rica
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 Conscious Development, was born.
White
Cloud Sanctuary is a private retreat center, internal martial arts school and eco-sustainable farm dedicated
to Spiritual Growth & Consciousness Transformation.
Our
methodology is based on contemporary research (because from each answer found a new questin arise..) and ancient knowledge
and traditions. We offer teachings
of different schools of thought, from self study (i.e. Gurdjieff's) to evolutionary psychology and neuroscience,
spiritual-meditative practices (Qigong, Tai Chi & other internal arts systems), natural-sustainable living.
We appreciate any help you can offer to the success of this project.
At the moment
there are only 3 permanent resident member (the teachers) working and sustaining the farm-sanctuary.
You are welcome
to join us, participating to our Retreats or becoming more involved as a student or a member for short or long terms.
And
if you feel moved to support with a donation, please inquiry here

“One of the first things you learn when come
here is how subjected you are to your personality or programming. An example of AA group members comes
to mind – one little slip will take someone right back into their addiction. And with us, it is the
same. One little slip will take us back into our story, into our programming. If you
see how easy is to slip back, you can see the conditions that have to be in play in order to avoid it. But
if you don’t see how easy it is to fall back, you won’t even see how far back it can take you. That
is why, like with AA, at The White Cloud Sanctuary everyone works together and helps one another as a committed group. When you come here, what you can do is take advantage of the whole set-up, enter the state of Presence which is outside
personality, and from there “download” information about how things are. At the same time,
in a focused mode, you build a character in that open energy (literally come alive in a different area of the brain) that
understands this predicament of having lived confined your whole life by ego. In order for you to have
a new matrix to live and move from that operates outside of your persona, certain conditions have to be present. And
this is the aim of the Sanctuary: to create the conditions to be able to live and develop in consciousness.”Andrea, August 2006
