Who designs your return

Who is Sirian

Physiotherapist · Wellness therapist · Emotional intelligence coach · Creator of connection and wellbeing experiences

For over 15 years, Sirian Palacios has accompanied hundreds of people, listening to something that went far beyond the body:

"I'm exhausted." "I can't go on." "I feel disconnected from myself."

And she understood something important: many times the body isn't asking for aesthetics… it's asking for pause, regulation, holding and connection.

Born in Bahía Solano, Chocó —a territory surrounded by jungle, sea and living nature— she created Raíz & Alma as an experience of returning to the essential. A space where people can stop, breathe, let go and listen to themselves again.

Because after years accompanying physical and emotional processes, she understood that many people don't need to escape their lives… they need to come back to themselves.

Through One Connection and Raíz & Alma, Sirian has created spaces where wellbeing isn't lived as a superficial luxury, but as a deep return to the body, to calm and to essence.

“We're not here to solve everything. We're here to start something real.”
— Sirian Palacios

Why Raíz & Alma

Why Raíz & Alma?

Transformation

“You arrive exhausted. You return light.”

5 days where your body finally releases what it has been carrying for years. It's not a spa. It's a reset. —

Authentic experience

“The Colombian Pacific isn't visited. It's lived.”

Bahía Solano. An authentic experience in Colombia, guided by a local, Sirian. —

Real community

“20 people. 5 days. Connections that last years.”

You don't come alone. You come with people who, like you, are looking to pause. —

Exclusivity

“Only 20 spots. One date a year.”

It's not mass tourism. It's personalized. That's what makes it real. —

What you'll experience

You'll live it with us

Every experience was crafted to wake your senses and reconnect you with your essence. Six encounters with the sea, the rainforest, and yourself.

5 Encounters · 5 Days

Whale watching

Imagine being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with the sound of the sea around you and, suddenly, a whale emerging in front of you in total freedom. A moment so immense that it invites you to release stress, let go of the noise and return to the present.

Sea turtle release

In the middle of sunset, facing the sea, you will live one of the most symbolic and emotional moments of the experience. Releasing turtles into the ocean while you connect with the feeling of letting go, moving forward and allowing yourself to begin a new stage with more freedom and lightness.

Walks through the rainforest

Walking through untouched rainforest, hearing the wild aliveness around you, and feeling your body slowly settle. The Pacific rainforest holds an energy that's hard to describe — a sense of presence, calm, and connection that pulls you back into the present moment, naturally.

Waterfall immersion

Feeling the water fall over your body while you breathe deep and simply allow yourself to be there — present, light, and fully connected with the moment.

No rush, just experiences that invite you to feel, flow and reconnect.

The Journey

At One Connection we designed Raíz y Alma, in partnership with Black Sands Lodge: more than a trip, a deep encounter with nature, the body, the emotions, and the soul.
