To create space for connection and ease, you’ll arrive on Saturday, March 7, the day before our retreat officially begins. This intentional pause gives you the freedom to travel without stress—no rush, no pressure. Once you arrive in San José, you’ll check into our welcoming hotel (included in your retreat package), where you can rest, refresh, and begin to exhale the outside world. As we gather that evening, you’ll begin to feel the first spark of sisterhood—familiar faces in unfamiliar places, kindred souls preparing for a shared journey.

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 rhythm for the entire retreat: joyful curiosity, heartfelt connection, and unfolding Pura  Vida spirit that calls us back to ourselves. 

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. Settling into a new space to simply be and reconnect with our true spirit.

Today invites us to slow down and sink in with a poolside rest in the morning - maybe some aqua or poolside yoga, followed by a soul-stirring snorkeling adventure where we'll explore Costa Rica's underwater magic! These warm, calm waters are home to nearly 7,000 species of marine life. As we swim together, we'll reconnect with our own innate wildness and freedom. In the evening, we will explore our innermost desires through a soulful yoga nidra practice.  

Midweek is the time to immerse ourselves in Costa Rican culture and explore the ancient and sacred process of chocolate making, from cacao pod to the ceremonial sip. On a local cacao farm, we will walk the path of the divine feminine as we learn, taste, and honor the spirit of the cacao plant. We'll end our tour by savoring the best cup of hot cacao, experiencing the magic of this ancient and spiritual plant.

Today we embrace the sacred 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 restorative yoga practice.

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."
