Who should come to Tau Journey Panama?

A Tau retreat is for those who are hungry and thirsty for well-being, who are open and seeking something deeper for themselves and the world. It doesn’t work for those who have it all or have it all figured out. We are attempting to attune you to the frequencies of God’s love and his kingdom, which are not easily discernible from the world’s perspectives and agendas—often including religious ones—for his kingdom does not look like or travel at the speed of Man. Are you able to swim, open to adventure and other people no matter how different they are from yourself, and interested in or open to learning and engaging in contemplative Christian spiritual practices? Come learn how to live more fully back home.

What will we do there besides be in nature and pray?

Our application and website have some more information about the entire experience, but in terms of modalities we will guide the group through our daily "Seven Steps of Shalom" field guide to sustainable spirituality, pray and journal, explore internal family systems through the lens of the Two Lost Sons parable, and learn from the practices of biomimicry, bodied theology, entry-level somatic and wilderness therapies, spiritual direction, and Christian contemplation.

Why Panama?

In short, Bocas del Toro is the ideal off-grid location for an immersive experience of shalom, for real transformation and not mere travel. We've chosen to plant our base here for its lessons in simplicity, affordability, and sustainability. Some of its lessons include:

Nature- Nature is not a backdrop here, but a teacher. The Smithsonian Institute for Caribbean Studies is headquartered here and the jungle and sea are teeming with raw life. Nature can be beautifully overwhelming in this place.

Wonder- Panama is not escapist, bougie or an eco-Disney cruise. We learn the good and hard lessons of nature here, seeing how small we are but how significant. We also see the distant impacts of unfettered capitalism up close and to feel them.

Culture- Bocas del Toro is not quite the remnant of the conquest-colonial endeavor like some other Caribbean destinations. It is wildly diverse with many ancient streams of people, and mostly there is essential harmony from a global and diverse community of the enterprising and indigenous.

Adventure- It is still somewhat undiscovered and it is under-infrastructured and commodified. (But you probably won't suffer!)

Amazing- But you need a guide.

“Our great mistake is to try to exact from each person virtues which he does not possess, and to neglect the cultivation of those which he has.”

“Surfing is like music. It’s infinite. You will never assess it or encompass it because the movement of water and waveform is so infinite and so nuanced and so beautiful and so changeable that, just like a musician, all you’re trying to do is get yourself inside the pocket of that flow and have the ephemeral moment of getting in sync with that energy. And it doesn’t matter how many times you do it; there’s no guarantee you’re going to get it right the next time.”
— Edward Norton

“Seeking is related to curiosity, openness, and humility. What if our interest in the outer journey, exploring the world, discovering new things, is inextricably related to our curiosity about our own inner lives, our soul journey? What might we discover about ourselves if we choose to be seekers instead of settlers? Are we willing in our inner and outer journeys to be changed? Are we willing to be told to ‘Go’?
To be moved along? To be changed, transformed?”
— Jamison Wayne Galt

“One grows so tired, in American public life, of the certitudes and platitudes, the megaphone mouths and stadium praise, influencers and effluencers and the whole tsunami of slop that comes pouring into our lives like toxic sludge.”
— Christian Wiman

“In the present age the survivor of theory and consumption becomes a wayfarer in the desert, like St. Anthony; which is to say, open to signs.”

"I think the task before us is to re-learn what it means to walk as if everywhere is a temple. To approach how we are in relationship to the Living Earth as if it were a temple."

"There are many who live in the mountains and behave as if they were in the town; they are wasting their time. It is possible to be a solitary in one's mind while living in a crowd; and it is possible for those who are solitaries to live in the crowd of their own thoughts."
— Desert Mother Amma Syncletica
