A Christian Monastery in the Sacred Valley
Nestled at the base of a waterfall where two mountains meet, in a quaint village full of farms and green pastures, Garden of Light Monastery is the perfect place to escape the distractions of busy modern life and remember the ease and simplicity of natural, organic and slow living.

Amenities
GORGEOUS ROOMS
Our fully equipped rooms are ideal for short and longer stays. We’ve thoughtfully placed desks, desk chairs and 32” Smart TVs that also function as work screens in each room, and if you don’t feel like working in your personal space, we’ve also created multiple co-working stations with strong internet connectivity around the property, so that you can work from a hammock, our covered outdoor patio, or even lounging on the lawn in the sun.
Depending on the room, privacy preferences and intention of the event, our Sanctuary can host groups of up to 15 Guests.
We plan everything with intention by carefully considering our guests needs for each experience.
TEMPLE
Our Temple is a consecrated space where we pray and offer all of our Church Services, Spiritual Healing & Deliverance Services, Private Healing Sessions, Group Stretching & Mobility Classes, and Meditation & Music, Drum and Dance Circles.
Access to the Temple is restricted to specific hours as it is a very precious space and we host the private online group events of the Living Light Ministry and School daily.
During most stays and events, you are invited to join us in the Temple for these online events, and will likely spend extended periods with us in spiritual works and teachings in this sacred space.
PROFESSIONAL KITCHEN & CHEF
Although many come here to fast, we cater to all dietary and nutritional needs and desires.
We serve locally sourced, fresh, farm to table, and organic meals with an evidence-based approach to nutrition, that blends Peruvian and International cuisine, through a carefully crafted menu that is entirely gluten free and caters to carnivorous, vegetarian and vegan diets.
We serve 3 healthy meals per day, 6 days a week, with brunch and dinner on Sundays, carbon filtered mountain water, fully stocked tea and coffee stations with many fresh medicinal herbal teas and vegan milks, and fresh fruit from the Amazon is provided daily for snacking.
SPA & SAUNA
At an altitude of approximately 3,000 meters with dry season running from June through October, the body tends to get denser and drier.
To support the body integrate all the works we do, we make sure to take time at least once a week to release and reset.
Our Spa Services include a wood vapour sauna, outdoor plant baths, cold water therapy, ice baths, mud wraps, and a variety of massage and body work options.
During all our events, guests enjoy free access to the sauna, plant baths, cold water therapy and can benefit from various on-demand personal services.
OUTDOOR GYM
Our High Altitude Outdoor Gym is well equipped with weights, barbell racks, martial arts training gear, functional training equipment, cardio/mobility accessories and a gorgeous view.
When Jeremiah is present at the Monastery, he facilitates group training programs, runs and hikes to get everyone fit and ready for longer days in the mountains.
During all events, guests have access to the gym space from 6:00 to 18:00 daily.
Private personal training, custom training programs, postural evaluation and therapeutic exercises are available as a private on-demand service.
SHARED GUEST KITCHEN
Our Shared Kitchen is a fully equipped space for guests to store their personal snacks and cook their own special dishes when they feel like it.
During Residencies, our guests have their meals served to eat in this cozy light-filled kitchen.
Having a professional Peruvian Chef in our kitchen is a great way to learn about the local culture, to develop your Spanish rapidly and to learn to cook delicious traditional meals.
Cooking Classes and Spanish lessons are available upon request as an additional private service.
GARDENS & FIRE CIRCLE
Our Gardens are overflowing with vibrant flowers, medicinal plants, birds and pollinators, with many separate areas to sunbathe, read, meditate and dwell.
Our outdoor fire pit is located at the centre of the property, and is where we hold our Fire & Music Nights as well as our mandatory Weekly Sharing Circle.
DINING ROOM & OUTDOOR PATIO
Our Outdoor Dining Patio also serves as a Co-Working Space, where guests enjoy the shade to eat lunch, journal and work on all their creative endeavours.
This luminous space is ideal to be outside without being exposed to the strong Andean sun. The space has a tea and fruit bar as well as a gorgeous view of the mountains.
MALOCA
Our Shaded Lounge & Co-Working Space is equipped with hammocks, comfy seating, a table, charging outlets, high speed internet and a tea station nearby.
It looks onto the Garden and a beautiful pear tree, is close to the shared kitchen and private rooms, yet offers privacy and tranquility for peaceful focus, meditation, and relaxation.
Services
RETREATS
We create intimate events with a specific focus on spiritual and emotional healing and deliverance.
We create these containers for groups to receive and process a lot of content and undergo deep transformation in a short amount of time - come ready to do ‘The Work’.
During these events, we spend most of our time in prayer, fasting, doing group spiritual works and hiking in the Andean mountains.
RESIDENCIES
We’ve named this offering “All-Inclusive Modern Monastic Living”, where guests are invited to join us for a period of 14 to 90 days, to focus on meditation, prayer, study & Movement, to undergo personal and professional transformation while having the space and time to also work online if desired.
Perfect for those who want Retreat-Style Living, with more spaciousness and flexibility to create and integrate, while being inspired within a community of like-minded people.
MINISTRY TRAINING
These programs are an invitation to grow in Discipleship with the Lord Jesus Christ, through an intensive training curriculum within the Living Light Prophetic School.
These training events are held multiple times each year, where practitioners receive personal healing, education, plenty of opportunity to practice and support in identifying and operating their God-given gifts, with ongoing support within the Ministry and School.
TREKS & PILGRIMAGES
At least once a year, we organize a 7 to 14 day prayer walk through one of the most incredible places on earth, the Vilcanota Mountain Ranges.
These breathtaking events are solidarity leveraging events to support local mountain guides and communities to develop sustainable eco-tourism business models.
VOLUNTEER SERVICES
In Collaboration with Living Light International, we occasionally receive volunteer workers to support with charitable projects in the Sacred Valley of Peru.
Volunteer workers usually come to share their crafts or to learn a craft. Past projects involved farming, building infrastructure and community education.
CUSTOM PRIVATE EVENTS
We host events of all kinds for Ministers, Mentors, Coaches, Teachers, Influencers and Couples from all over the World who are called to bring their communities together for unique in person experiences, retreats, training events, conferences, weddings, and more!
