October is here, and with it, the gentle reminder that growth doesn’t have to mean rushing. At Sansara, we hold space for change to unfold with ease, for balance to return, and for joy to feel natural.
Every season brings new energy. My hope is that this month invites you to step back, breathe, and open to what is waiting for you.
xoxo, Janel

Your Week, Your Way
Imagine a week designed entirely by you. Start your journey with an overnight stay in Panama City on Saturday, where we can help arrange accommodations and a smooth Sunday morning pickup to Sansara. From there, step into serenity:
This is your chance to create the perfect balance of adventure, wellness and stillness – all agains the backdrop of Panama’s stunning Pacific coast.
Spaces are limited.
Imagine starting your afternoon with a drink that feels like meditation in a glass – vibrant green, naturally energizing, and carrying that calm focus that only comes from something made with intention.
Ingredients
Method: Whisk the ceremonial-grade matcha with a splash of warm water until smooth and frothy. Fill your favorite glass with ice, pour over the cold oat or almond milk, then gently add your whisked matcha. Drizzle with honey or agave if you love a touch of sweetness.
Simple vibrant, and packed with that calm, focused energy that carries you beautifully through whatever the day brings.
Craving in now? Book your Buddha Bar table and taste it fresh.
Where Jungle Meets River & Stillness Finds You
Close your eyes and picture this… you’re gliding silently down a river corridor where towering jungle walls rise on both sides, draped in every shade of green imaginable. The only sounds are the gentle dip of your paddle and the distant call of tropical birds echoing off ancient rock faces.
This is SUP paddleboarding through our lush jungle canyons – a journey that takes you far beyond the familiar rhythm of ocean waves into something altogether more mystical. You’ll glide past rock walls that tell stories in stone, discover hidden swimming holes where the water runs cool and clear, and find yourself in pockets of stillness so profound they feel like nature’s own meditation halls.
Whether you’re a first-timer finding your balance or a seasoned paddler seeking new waters, this adventure offers something the ocean can’t – the profound quiet that only comes when you’re completely surrounded by nature’s embrace. It’s a soulful way to explore the Panama that exists beyond our beaches, where the jungle keeps its deepest secrets.
Behind every fresh sheet that smells like ocean breeze and every sunlit room that feels like a gentle embrace is the quiet magic of our cleaning team. After years of caring from Sansara’s spaces in Panama’s tropical climate, our ladies have perfected the art of keeping things naturally fresh and beautifully clean – and they want to share their secrets with you.
“Mix water, vinegar and essential oils for the perfect floor cleaner,” they tell us with knowing smiles.
Lemongrass, lavender, or peppermint – whatever scent makes you happy. Your house will be clean without chemicals and smell fresh all day long.
It sounds almost too simple, but this natural blend cuts through dirt and grime while leaving behind the most beautiful, clean fragrance that synthetic cleaners can never match.
Extra tip for humid climates (or those steamy summer days): Leave your doors open so the heat can help the humidity escape your room, or run the AC on dry mode. Our teams knows that fighting humidity is half the battle in keeping spaces feeling fresh and welcoming.
These are small rituals that capture something essential about living well – naturally, simply, and in harmony with your environment. Try them at home and breathe in that memory of mornings where everything felt clean, fresh, and perfectly possible.
“10 Stars! I would give this resort 10 stars if I could. The resort is positioned respectfully amongst the natural landscape. Picture perfect beauty at every turn. The spa experience was luxurious. The accommodations invite rest and relaxation. The food was delicious and I was on a first name basis with staff before I left. I came with no expectations and left knowing I would return again and again!”
