To make your travel as smooth and stress-free as possible, you’ll arrive on Saturday, March 7, the day before our retreat officially begins. This extra day allows you the flexibility to choose a flight that works best for you—no rush, no pressure. Once you arrive in San José, you’ll check into our comfortable hotel (included in your retreat package), where you can rest, refresh, and begin to unwind from your journey. It’s the perfect way to ease into the Pura Vida lifestyle, meet a few sisters early, and wake up Sunday morning feeling relaxed, grounded, and ready for the adventure ahead.

We’ll hit the road around 9:30 a.m. for our full day of discovery on our way to Uvita! We'll stop at the famous Crocodile Bridge to spot wild crocs in their natural habitat, snap photos at the colorful Jaco beach sign, and sip fresh coconut water with our toes in the sand at Playa Hermosa. Lunch is available beachside (on your own), followed by an optional stop in the laid-back surf town of Dominical for artisan shopping, ocean dips, and tropical vibes. This day sets the tone for the entire retreat—fun, connection, and a taste of Costa Rica’s Pura Vida spirit before we even unpack.

After a rejuvenating yoga practice and relaxing morning, we will spend  the afternoon at Whale's Tail Beach and National Park. A stunning natural wonder where the unique sandbar formation resembles a whale's tail, offering breathtaking views, crystal-clear waters, and the perfect spot for an afternoon of settling into the "Pura Vida" lifestyle.

Spend the morning relaxing at the pool before we head out to sea, exploring the magical underwater world of fish and coral. With Costa Rica's 800 miles of coastline and its warm, calm waters, it's the perfect place for snorkeling and spotting some off it's nearly 7000 species of marine life! 

Midweek is time to immerse ourselves in Costa Rican Culture and explore the ancient process of chocolate making, from the field to the bar! We will venture to a local cacao farm and learn the history of chocolate production, visit cacao orchards and experience each step of chocolate production, from harvest and fermentation to drying and grinding. And we'll enjoy the best cup of hot cacao, experiencing the magic of this sacred plant.

Embrace the traditions of Shinrin-Yoku, a mindfulness adventure designed to connect you with nature on a deeper, healing, level as we immerse ourselves in Costa Rica’s most diverse national park. Be present in the moment and watch nature unfold. Catch a glimpse of Capuchin, Howler, and Squirrel Monkeys, Sloths, Iguanas, Agoutis, and hundreds of species of birds. Afterward, take a dip in the ocean and spend time on the beach before heading home for a relaxing Yoga Nidra.

On our final day we hike to nearby Cascada Verde. This epic natural waterslide spills into a beautiful jungle swimming hole and it's just a short walk from where we are staying. There is also a butterfly garden and space to simply sit, relax and take it all in. In the evening, we will indulge in a sacred Cacao Ceremony and Sound Bath, leaving you leaning deep into your inner knowing and finding a soulful rebalance to end our week of "Pura Vida."
