Each day explores a different energy center through mindful vinyasa and restorative yoga, meditation, breathwork, journaling, and meaningful self-reflection. Surrounded by vibrant rainforest, waterfalls, and the Pacific Ocean, you'll create space to release what no longer serves you and align with the life you envision.

Whether you're seeking clarity, renewal, adventure, or deeper connection, this retreat offers the perfect balance of movement, rest, community, and nature. Leave feeling grounded, inspired, and empowered to manifest your dreams from the inside out.

The journey: crown to root

We begin in vision and descend into embodiment — so the dreams you meet at the crown are grounded into real life by the time we reach the root.

The table

Nourishment, pura vida style

Local chefs cook for us all week — traditional Costa Rican dishes and vibrant plant-forward cuisine, built around whatever the market and the farms have that morning. Daily brunch, dinner, fresh juices, and snacks around every practice.

Meals are shared at long tables in the open air — this is where the cultural exchange happens: recipes swapped, Spanish practiced, stories told over passion fruit and cas juice. Dietary needs are welcome; just tell us when you register.

Beyond the mat

Adventure between practices

Thursday's big adventure — hike, horseback, or truck to one of Costa Rica's mightiest falls. Or opt for a beach walk instead.
