ABOUT THE RETREAT
Whether you’re seeking rejuvenation, adventure, or simply the warmth of shared memories and laughter, Pura Vida Sisterhood offers the perfect blend of movement, mindfulness, nature, and connection. This retreat is open to Sigma Kappa alumnae and provides a unique opportunity to bond with sisters old and new in an unforgettable setting.
Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific Coast is a sanctuary of vibrant life, warm-hearted people, and healing natural beauty. “Pura Vida” — meaning pure life — isn’t just a phrase, it’s a way of being. And after all we’ve navigated in life and sisterhood, there’s never been a better time to breathe it all in together.
Luxurious Accommodations
Nestled in the heart of Uvita's lush rainforest, Synergy Retreat Center offers an idyllic setting where luxury meets nature. This tranquil haven is designed to provide a nurturing environment for relaxation, introspection, and connection. An assortment of rooms features high-quality bedding, air conditioning, and most include private en-suite bathrooms, ensuring your comfort throughout the retreat. The serene surroundings and tasteful decor create a peaceful ambiance, allowing you to unwind and rejuvenate.
Adventure in the Jungle and on the Water
Get ready for a week filled with unforgettable adventures that awaken your spirit and ignite your joy! From snorkeling the sparkling Pacific waters to hiking through lush jungle trails and chasing waterfalls, every day brings a new way to connect with nature—and yourself. We'll explore the magic of Costa Rica with a chocolate cacao tour, a visit to the iconic Manuel Antonio National Park, and end our journey with a soul-soothing sound bath and cacao ceremony. Whether it's diving into the sea or soaking in the serenity of the rainforest, this retreat blends wild wonder with deep sisterhood.
World Class Yoga and Wellness Facilities
Practice yoga on the expansive open-air 360° yoga deck, equipped with mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets, and aerial yoga slings. The space invites you to deepen your practice amidst the sights and sounds of the tropical rainforest. Refresh yourself in the chemical-free saltwater pool, surrounded by tropical beauty.

Journey to Uvita - The Adventure Begins
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.
Beach Day at Whale's Tail
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.

Mindfulness at Manuel Antonio
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.
Chasing Waterfalls, Butterflies, & Pura Vida
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."
