Details
Day 1
Welcome to Costa Rica – get settled at your jungle hideaway before some group activities and welcome dinner
Welcome to Costa Rica! We’re thrilled you’ve made the journey to Montezuma for a relaxing wellness getaway with like-minded souls. This area on the Nicoya Peninsula is known for its white-sand beach, jungle trails with majestic wildlife, and chill surf culture, all of which you’ll get to experience first-hand.
Upon arrival at Tambor Airport, take your group transfer to your resort and enjoy some downtime to get settled on this stunning property. We’ll come together when the sun sets in the form of a shared circle and guided meditation before taking a walk around the venue as a group. From here, we’ll enjoy a delicious welcome dinner where we can get to know our fellow retreaters. Grab a glass of your favorite drink and toast to an amazing experience to come!
Day 2
Embark on a jungle hike to explore the Montezuma waterfalls after morning yoga and meditation, then close out the day with breathwork
Rise and shine to a beautiful morning in Costa Rica, where the birds are chirping and the sun is smiling down upon us all. We’ll start our day with a yoga and meditation session in the resort’s gorgeous open-air shala that offers peaceful solace and pristine views of the lush landscape all around. After refueling with a delicious breakfast spread, we’re off to the Montezuma waterfalls for a guided hike through the beautiful scenery. Take all the pictures you can and go for a swim in the stunning warm pools.
We’ll return to the resort just in time for lunch and reflect on our day in nature with a guided meditation and breathwork session. Breathe in peace and offer gratitude for a great day in Costa Rica’s bounty.
Day 3
From a Chakra workshop to multiple yoga sessions, today is all about movement, breath, and healing
Wake up with a morning yoga session as the sun rises over the treetops, while you breathe in the fresh air and good vibes of this jungle paradise. After breakfast, we’ll focus on the chakras with a workshop run by Candace. From here, grab lunch and enjoy some downtime to hang by the pool, hike around the property, or book an excursion to see more of the area. When the sun begins to set, we’ll come together for Yoga Play and a delicious dinner. Make every moment count during your time in this idyllic location.
Day 4
Travel to the idyllic Tortuga Island and spend the day splashing in the turquoise sea before some gentle yoga and a sound bath journey to close out the day
Today, we’re going on an adventure to Tortuga Island – a literal heaven on Earth. This remote respite features an array of fun to be had, such as sugar-white beaches, warm water, beach bars, and zip-lining. Have all the fun you can before we head back to the resort.
After some time to freshen up, we’ll come together for some gentle yoga and a sound bath Journey, letting the vibrations remove energetic blocks and heal us to our natural state of balance. Indulge in another delicious local dinner then rest up for another day in paradise.
Day 5
Savor one last day in Costa Rica with yoga, a beach day, and a farewell dinner
We’re waking up to our final full day in Montezuma, but we’ll do so with smiles on our faces as we stretch it out in morning yoga. Use this session to release anything that no longer serves you and offer thanks to the universe for this awesome experience in Costa Rica. After breakfast, we’re heading to the beach! Grab your swimsuit and enjoy a day of sea and sun healing.
When we return to the resort, we’ll have some downtime before we come together for a Yoga Nidra and meditation session. Release any tension you’re still holding and let Candace guide you to peace. From here we’ll start saying our goodbyes at a farewell dinner — a time to reflect on all that you’ve learned, all that you’ve shared, and all that you wish to accomplish once you return home.
Day 6
Stretch it out one last time before heading home from an unforgettable retreat
We’ll say goodbye to our beautiful retreat and the majesty of Costa Rica after one last morning yoga session and breakfast with the group. After the closing circle, you can pack up and take your group transfer to the airport to catch your flight. We hope you had a transformational experience and will travel with us again soon. Be well!
