the Gathering - Indra's Grace Retreat in Puerto Rico

The Gathering – A Puerto Rico Retreat (sold out)

Villa Playa Maria, Rincon, Puerto Rico

March 1–7, 2026

A Puerto Rico Retreat to Come Home to What Matters Most

The Gathering is a Puerto Rico retreat created to feel less like an event and more like coming home. It is a place where the pace is gentle, the days are spacious, and the true focus is community.

Imagine sitting together for long, leisurely meals, sharing stories and laughter. Picture quiet mornings spent barefoot on the sand, evenings watching the sun set over the ocean, and afternoons filled with the simple healing that comes from just being together.
In today’s fast-paced world, many feel disconnected and untethered. Healing doesn’t always come from doing more – often, it comes from gathering with others, sharing meals, conversations, and remembering that we belong.

This retreat is sold out. To be placed on a waiting list reach out via email.

Located on Puerto Rico’s northwest coast, María’s Beach in Rincón is known for its stunning sunsets, relaxed surf-town vibe, and world-class waves. Once the site of the 1968 World Surfing Championship, it remains a vibrant spot for ocean lovers, offering warm waters, coastal charm, and a welcoming local community. One of Puerto Rico’s only true private villas, Maria’s Beach sits on a 1/2 acre of Rincón’s best oceanfront offering luxury vacation accommodations with unique Caribbean ocean views.

Sandra Vanatko is a certified yoga therapist and somatic healing practitioner with nearly two decades of experience guiding others into embodied presence, self-regulation, and deep inner healing. She is the founder of Indra’s Grace, a sanctuary for mindfulness, spiritual growth, and whole-person healing.

Drawing from classical Hatha yoga, Indo-Tibetan meditation traditions, and Hakomi-based somatic therapy, Sandra gently weaves together ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience. Her trauma-informed approach helps everyone feel safe, grounded, and at home in their bodies—no matter their stage of life.

Sandra’s work is intuitive, compassionate, and deeply attuned. Whether through yoga, meditation, breathwork, or somatic inquiry, she empowers others to reconnect with their inner wisdom, restore their vitality, and live with more presence and peace.

This Puerto Rico retreat is an invitation to experience her signature blend of practices in a space where you can be fully supported, deeply seen, and lovingly guided back to yourself.
