Casa Chango
Make room for movement and retreat
Movement and circus give Casa Chango a different starting point from a retreat built around a single meditation lineage. In Barra de Navidad, this dedicated space brings creative physical practice and retreat time together on Mexico’s Pacific coast. The emphasis is embodied and active, making it an intriguing option for travelers who want their time away to include movement rather than only seated meditation. Casa Chango is not tied to a named tradition, so the experience will depend on the specific retreat and its teachers. That flexibility may appeal if you are curious about circus arts or movement-based practice, while anyone hoping for a particular meditation method should check the program before booking. Retreat dates, daily structure, lodging, meals, and rates can vary. Visit the Casa Chango website to review current offerings and confirm the practical details directly with the center.
