P-LAR provides artists with a space for community building and self-care. Our retreats focus on healing, reflection, and mindfulness.

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.
