Reservations

Welcome

Welcome to the MBSAT Retreat Center (MRC), a sanctuary dedicated to those who seek to answer Albert Einstein’s profound existential question: “Is the universe friendly?” At MRC, we believe that finding answers to this question can significantly alleviate global social malaise, including wars, violence, inequality, and corruption.

At MBSAT’s MRC, we warmly welcome those already committed to their personal growth journey and actively engaged in practices or programs to enhance themselves. This retreat center is designed to facilitate self-discovery by offering top-level facilities that provide physical comfort equivalent to a 5-star hotel, hopefully exceeding your expectations.

Purpose of stay

MRC welcomes motivated individuals from diverse backgrounds—regardless of religion, class, or ethnicity—committed to their personal development journey. Whether deepening an existing practice or embarking on a new path to self-discovery, MRC is designed to catalyze your transformation, empowering you to become the best version of yourself.

Those seeking a stay at  luxury hotel or pure pleasure should note that Boquete, where our retreat center is located, is one of the world’s top destinations for vacation. Many high-quality hotels in Boquete are already designed to offer pure vacation experiences. Instead, MRC is a space for serious and systematic work on oneself, where guests engage in finding their subjective answers to two life-important questions: “Am I an authentically friendly person, and if not, can I become one?” and “Is the world friendly, and if my answer is no, can it become one?” 

We encourage you to use your time at MRC to live out the ideals of the society you aspire to create.

Unlike traditional retreats governed by stringent rules, MRC operates on three guiding principles that foster a nurturing environment for self-improvement:

Respect and Autonomy: 

Navigate your experience with respect and independence, honoring your unique path to self-awareness.

Mastery and Self-Knowledge:

Utilize every opportunity to become more acquainted with yourself, striving to master your inner being.

Friendliness: 

Embody genuine friendliness in all interactions, reflecting the ideals you wish to see in the broader world.

Choose from our tranquil bungalows or spacious two-bedroom houses and embark on a transformative experience that challenges you to question and redefine your perception of the world and yourself.
