Theme: Settling Into the Space
The Land
Nature & Cultural Immersion
Cara Creek Eco Lodge is an intentionally minimal eco-space — stripped of distraction and held by the land. There are no luxuries here beyond what matters most: clean air, running water, wild nature, and genuine connection. This simplicity is part of the medicine.
The less there is to escape to, the deeper you can go.

The Team
Your Facilitators
Alejandro Salomone
Spiritual Guide & Vision Architect
Alejandro Salomone guides individuals through profound identity transformation by bridging grounded psychological awareness with embodied spiritual practice.
His work is rooted in lived experience. Over the years, he has walked a path of deep spiritual exploration, studying across traditions, immersing himself in indigenous cultures of the Amazon, and working directly with practices centered on healing, consciousness, and the unseen dimensions of human experience.
Rather than adhering to a single modality, Alejandro's approach integrates multiple lineages and energetic frameworks, blending somatic awareness, subtle energy work, and shadow integration into a process that is both intuitive and grounded.
This allows him to meet each individual where they are, guiding them through the unraveling of conditioned identity, the release of stored emotional patterns, and the embodiment of a more aligned way of being.
His work is not about transcendence or escape, it is about presence, responsibility, and embodiment.
Alejandro leads intentionally curated, small-group containers designed for depth, safety, and real transformation. Spaces where individuals are not guided around their patterns, but through them.
