Description: Welcome to White Cloud Sanctuary, a non profit Hermitage Retreat and Study Center dedicated to Higher Consciousness development and collective Enlightenment.

Founded in 1972, the center is under the spiritual direction of Gailon, whose teachings comes from different schools of thought (Daoist and Gurdjieffian in essence), his own experience and vision.
You can choose to experience a One-on-One Personal Intensive Retreat or apply for a long term stay (90-days trial) and eventually become a permanent member.

White Cloud is not an ashram or public temple, rules are stricter and it is not open to all, but we invite you to consider to join us if you've had enough with ordinary life and are ready to withdraw from the "world" as you know it, feel the calling to Self transformation and understand the need to work with others on the same path.

White Cloud Sanctuary is located twenty minutes west of the capitol San Jose.
It is a peaceful mountain retreat set above the small town of Santa Ana
offering views of the distant valley, mountains of Heredia and Volcan Poas.

The Sanctuary is 13 acres of rolling terrain with natural wooded
areas, landscaped with trees, bamboo, tropical ornamentals and bordered
by the Rio Oro River.
