2027: Retreat as a reclamation

A reclamation of your energy, your body, your voice and your inner authority.

In the quiet and beauty of Costa Rica, we step out of obligation and into choice — untangling from the patterns and pressures that quietly shape our lives without our consent.

Liberation here means releasing what drains you

and reclaiming what has always belonged to you: your capacity for presence, pleasure, rest and discernment.

Through guided practices, shared experience and spacious time in nature, you’ll reconnect with a deeper sense of sovereignty and agency — not by effort, but by remembering.

You are not reinventing yourself.

You are returning to yourself.

Join us for unforgettable experiences.

Is this a good fit for you?

This retreat is for you if you feel the quiet pull to come home to yourself.

If somewhere beneath the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of your life, you sense a need for more space, more truth, more ease — this may be your moment of reclamation.

You’re tired of pushing, fixing, or improving yourself

You feel stretched thin by obligation — even by things you love

You’ve outgrown old patterns, but haven’t yet named what’s next

You crave rest that is restorative, not just time off

You long to hear your own voice more clearly again

Please join us:

Humans of all ages and life stages

All bodies, all levels of yoga experience — including none

Those in transition, pause, expansion or quiet unraveling

Do you have a willingness to listen

— to your body, your intuition and

the wisdom that emerges when you are no longer rushing?

Liberation.

It comes not from effort, but from remembering.

You are not coming to become someone new.
You are coming to return to what has always been yours.

Reclaim your presence.

Your pleasure.

Your rest.

If you body softened as you read this, trust that response.

Maybe not a good fit for you?

If you looking for:

A high-intensity or physically demanding yoga experience

A packed schedule or constant stimulation

A retreat focused on productivity or performance

Glitzy high-rises, dressing up…. doing your hair

No hard feelings though—you do you!

Location

We’re vibing on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica in Playa Chiquita where the warm turquoise sea laps sandy beaches, and the jungle, waterfalls and tropical toucans, sloths, green macaws, monkeys and other wildlife abound.

We’ll be nestled in the jungle and surrounded just steps to some of the best beaches on the beautiful the Caribbean coast. Our eco-friendly retreat and wellness center is off-the-beaten track but the immediate area has a local market, a few cafes and an artsy souvenir shop.

We’ll be about 3 miles outside of of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca that is a laid-back beach town that moves to it’s own reggae beat and offers nightlife, shopping and local culture.

The retreat and wellness center was formerly a cacao plantation and in addition to cacao trees also has over 20 different types of fruit trees including papaya, starfruit, guananbana, banana, lime, orange, mangosteen and more.

The retreat center keeps things simple to protect the beautiful area. We chose it to compliment our focus on clean air, healthy food, nature and easy living. Pura Vida!

We’re creating the sweet spot we crave when retreating.
