For individuals interested in continuing to expand on a path of self exploration, Nierika offers an ongoing retreat program which is individually tailored to their specific religious, cultural and philosophical needs. Aligned with the perennial and cross-cultural monastic elements of spiritual traditions world-wide, this program seeks through silence, prayer and meditation, psycho-physical exercises like yoga and tai-chi and voluntary fasting and isolation to provide self seekers with an environment conducive to deeper contact with their spiritual self. Through different methods of transpersonal self-exploration and process facilitation our guests may access deeper insights and develop skills to consciously integrate their spiritual quest. These methods include: integral psychotherapy, active imagination, music therapy, contemplation, meditation, yoga, massage, nutritional therapy, wilderness quests and gardening. The retreats are facilitated by Anya Loizaga-Velder and Armando Loizaga Pazzi who are both Psychologists who are specialized in trans personal psychotherapy, indigenous healing practices and studies of consciousness.  Nierika offers ideal surroundings for retreats. The center counts with medicinal gardens with many hidden beautiful and quiet spaces, dodjo, lotus pond, medicine wheel, meditation cave, meditation hall, yoga terrace and serenous natural beauty.
