Details
YanaSamyay Retreat – Dark & Silence Retreat in Peru In Quechua, “Samyay” means inhale, reset, and restore and “Yana” means dark. It perfectly captures the essence of this retreat: a sanctuary to step away from the noise, rest the mind, and reconnect with your inner world. Here, darkness and silence become more than absence; they transform into profound tools for self-inquiry. In stillness, the mind slows down, awareness expands, and new insights arise, like a fresh breath filling your being with clarity, healing and transformation. This ancient practice, honored for centuries, invites you to pause, breathe deeply, and journey inward. The retreat is designed to awaken your full awareness through sound, touch, smell, taste, and movement, grounding you more deeply in the present moment.

Located in the peaceful La Rinconada neighborhood, Melissa Wasi is a Pisac hotel nestled in a green haven, at the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, near Cusco, Peru. Amid Andean mountains, lush gardens, and a warm atmosphere, the place offers an authentic experience for travelers seeking calm and nature. For over fifteen years, Melissa Wasi has welcomed visitors eager to discover Pisac, its famous artisan market, and its iconic archaeological site. Over time, the property has also evolved into a deeper, more intentional concept: it has become a retreat center in Pisac, while preserving its original spirit of hospitality.
