Health & Wellness Retreat
P-LAR provides artists with a space for community building and self-care. Our retreats focus on healing, reflection, and mindfulness.
This year's inaugural destination retreat was located at
Casa Alternavida in Río Grande, Puerto Rico.
Highlighted by guided nature adventures, organic meals, and sessions with local and national creatives, our artists and P-LAR staff enjoyed five days of rest and resetting.
you do not have to be a fire for every mountain blocking you. you could be water and soft river your way to freedom too.

From the waterfalls of El Yunque to Río Grande de Loíza, our health & wellness retreat was centered on the theme "returning to the waters" with an emphasis on cleansing, renewal, and reconnecting with our ancestors.
