Unwind & Stir Up Your Soul: Discover Sustainable Self-Care for Your Unique Lifestyle

Beautiful Costa Rica welcomes you warmly with open arms. Upon your arrival at the airport, breathe in deeply and embrace the essence of pura vida. A transfer awaits to whisk you away to your La Fortuna. Feel the weight of worldly stresses begin to lighten as we draw closer to our sanctuary. As the landscape shifts, watch as the towering rainforests merge with the horizon. Nestled in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle, the Finca Luna Nueva Lodge awaits. Here, peace and tranquility will cocoon you in an embrace of pure bliss.

Once you arrive, take some time to check in, allowing the spirit of the land to speak to your soul. Perhaps take this time to begin mingling with your fellow retreat companions, who are here to seek healing and empowerment just like you. Then, we will gather in unity for our opening circle and a session of meditation to tune into our collective spirit and set the intentions for the days to come. And as stars pepper the velvety night sky, we'll enjoy a nourishing welcome dinner that will uplift the soul. This marks the beginning of a journey — one that will leave you whole, unhindered, and healed.

As dawn breaks on the second day of this retreat, the soft golden hues of the morning invite you into a rhythm of rejuvenation.

To begin, a wholesome breakfast awaits. Then, it’s time to embark on a tantalizing chocolate tour at the lodge. Here, mystery intertwines with the age-old cacao bean, from which delicious chocolate is made. Learn about the process that the cacao bean undergoes — from fermentation to final product! Then, under the guidance of Toranika, we'll move into a Somatic Soul Food Session, channeling the day's energy, illuminating the spirit, and recharging your batteries.

Afterwards, the afternoon unfolds with lunch before an enriching herbal medicine workshop. The wisdom of the Earth is profound, and at the lodge, you'll dive deep into this ancient knowledge, discovering the harmonious balance between body, mind, and nature. The lessons learned become a part of your wellness tapestry, weaving in seamlessly with Toranika's teachings.

The remainder of the day unfurls with a pocket of reflective time, gifting you with moments to ponder the day's events, rest, or simply soak in the ambient beauty of your surroundings. The day concludes with a lovely communal dinner in the company of new friends.

Daybreak in the Costa Rican canopy heralds yet another day of soulful exploration. Following a hearty breakfast, we will engage in another Somatic Soul Food Session. As the jungle comes alive with melodies of birdsong and whispers of leaves, Toranika guides you into a symphony of morning movement and meditation. Ground your spirit and align your energy as you connect with your innermost self, and draw strength and clarity from the embrace of the natural world that surrounds you.

Then, the adventure of the day beckons: the Arenal Hanging Bridges hike. Journey through verdant pathways suspended above the forest floor, each bridge offering panoramas of the magnificent landscape. Let the subtle, intricate wonders of the ecosystem around you contribute to your transformative journey.

As the hike concludes, the allure of the Eco-Termales Hot Springs awaits. Surrender to the embrace of nature's very own spa, where the steaming thermal waters, rich in minerals, envelop you in healing warmth. Every pore, every muscle, every thought is serenaded into relaxation, the sacred waters serving as a conduit for energy, empowerment, and holistic healing. And before returning to the lodge, you will enjoy a nourishing dinner right here at the hot springs venue.

As the first light of dawn pierces the Costa Rican canopy, we begin with a sumptuous breakfast, then Toranika guides our morning Somatic Soul Food amidst the tranquil sounds of the awakening jungle. Then, a canvas of reflective time unfolds, offering moments for personal journaling or connecting with fellow retreat companions.

After an energy-boosting lunch, the day's main adventure beckons: a horseback ride through verdant landscapes leading to the awe-inspiring Fortuna Waterfall. The location serves as a serene backdrop, echoing nature's untouched wonders.

As evening falls, the retreat converges for a warm and heartfelt farewell dinner, during which shared laughter and stories will deepen the bonds formed during this transformative journey as we don out celebratory sundresses.

The final day of the retreat commences with Toranika leading one last Somatic Soul Food Session. This session, steeped in gratitude and reflection, prepares you for the journey ahead. After breakfast, we come together for our closing circle to celebrate the transformations, insights, and connections made on this retreat. With memories etched deep and spirits rejuvenated, prepare for your onward journey. The retreat's chapter concludes with a coordinated transfer to the airport.
