Travelin the Now
Pura Vida
Not a Typical Retreat, Not a Standard Group Trip, but Something In Between.
12 days Retreat Costa Rica
What makes this Costa Rican trip so special is that we take our time to explore everything consciously and feel a real connection with Costa Rica's nature, our fellow travelers, and ourselves. Led by Elise, our cheerful guide, we embark on a 12-day adventure of self-discovery and cultural immersion. We'll visit beautiful places like Manuel Antonio, Uvita, Montezuma, Rincon de la Vieja, La Fortuna, and Puerto Viejo. During this trip, you can join mindfulness sessions and unique experiences like Ecstatic Dance. We dive deep into Costa Rica's rich Pura Vida culture, from its calm Caribbean coast to lush jungles and invigorating hot springs.
