Casa Pumilio
Room to rest, reflect, and reconnect
Jaco’s coastal energy gives way to a quieter scene at Casa Pumilio, where a spacious home sits amid gardens on about 2.5 acres of private land. The Salt and Story retreat brings a creative frame to time spent resting, reflecting, and connecting with others. Its name suggests room for personal narratives and expression, without tying the experience to a particular meditation lineage. Rather than a formal retreat campus, the setting feels grounded in a cared-for home and its surrounding nature. The gardens and generous grounds make space to slow down between shared activities, while Jaco remains the nearby point of reference for travel plans. Come for a retreat with a reflective, human-scale feel, and check the Salt and Story page for the current program details, dates, and practical arrangements.
