Magic & Manifestation: Yoga and Healing Retreat in Costa Rica with Enia

As your plane touches down at the airport, you can already feel the transformative energy of Costa Rica cocoon you. The air carries whispers of ancient rituals, as if Mother Earth herself has invited you to a deep and divine connection. Upon arriving, meet with your group of fellow seekers and catch your transfer to The Goddess Garden Eco Resort. Nestled in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle, this captivating sanctuary in Cahuita is the epitome of nature's embrace. Here, you're welcomed by the sights and sounds of the rainforest, with the melodies of vibrant birdsong resonating in harmonious symphony.

Once you've settled in, our mystic mentor Enia will gather everyone for a sharing circle in the heart of this paradise. As everyone comes together, there's an energy of warmth and connection. During this session, introductions are made, and we'll be able to set our intentions for the days to come. Get ready for a journey of empowerment, of transformation, of healing. We will then close out the evening with a wonderful welcome dinner, with the soft caress of the sea breeze and the enchanting rhythms of the jungle serenading us into the night. Welcome, divine soul, to a retreat that promises to light the path to your true essence. We hope you are ready to take the leap into holistic healing!

The dawn chorus of Costa Rica’s awakening forest beckons you from your restful slumber, inviting you to greet the day with grace and gratitude. With the first rays of the sun filtering through the trees, you find yourself on a tranquil yoga deck. Enia guides you through a series of movements during a rejuvenating yoga session. With each breath channeling the pure, healing energies of the universe, your spirit feels lighter, more connected to the heartbeat of the earth. This harmonious balance is further nurtured by a delectable breakfast, as you fuel yourself for the day’s transformative adventure.

Embark on a guided hike amid the enchanting realm of Cahuita National Park, and relish this delightful excursion that unveils the secrets of native flora and fauna. Witness nature in its most raw form, untouched and hidden away from the modern world.

The remainder of the afternoon is yours, a gift of time to perhaps reflect, enjoy the beauty of the surroundings, or simply relax with the sound of the waves as your symphony. As evening descends, gather for a sumptuously nourishing dinner. Let laughter and stories from the day's adventures weave together, encapsulating the essence of this profound journey towards one's higher self.

The soft hues of dawn paint the sky in delicate strokes, signaling another enchanting day in this paradise. As the gentle hum of nature surrounds you, Enia leads a revitalizing morning yoga session, harmoniously syncing your breath with the rhythm of the universe. Each pose invites a deeper connection to the self, grounding and uplifting you simultaneously. This harmonious awakening is complemented by a delicious breakfast, where the symphony of flavors rejuvenates both body and spirit.

After breakfast, the allure of the sun-kissed shores beckons. During your free time today, the pristine beach offers a canvas for your heart’s desires: perhaps embark on a leisurely stroll, the caress of cerulean waves cooling your feet, or maybe a moment of introspective meditation, with the horizon as your muse. The time is yours to immerse yourself in the embrace of Costa Rica's natural beauty.

As the sun begins its descent, casting golden hues on the world, you gather for a transformative sound healing session. The resonance of ancient instruments melds with the energy of the land, creating waves of healing vibrations that permeate your very core. Each tone is a balm, addressing inner blockages, releasing negative energy, and elevating the spirit. As the session culminates, there’s a profound sense of peace, and you head to dinner with a heart full of gratitude, resonating with the divine melodies of the universe.

The distant murmur of waves creates a melodic wake-up call, coaxing you into another blissful day. On the yoga deck, Enia weaves her magic once again, guiding you through poses that challenge and center, allowing energies to flow freely and hearts to open wide. The sun's first rays, gentle and warm, kiss the earth, mirroring the inner warmth that this morning practice ignites within you. Following this session, a bountiful breakfast promises to satiate both your body and soul.

The day then unfolds at your pace, offering a canvas of free time. Whether it's delving into a book amidst the serene surroundings, exploring the local landscape, or simply surrendering to the embrace of a hammock, this time is yours, a sanctuary for your soul's whims.

As the afternoon melts away, Enia introduces you to the world of energy healing. In this sacred space, you'll channel the universe's healing light into your being. This intimate dance of energies seeks to realign, rejuvenate, and restore, leaving you feeling profoundly connected and whole. The day culminates in a shared dinner, where flavors are enriched by the transformative experiences of the day, creating memories that will be cherished.

The dawn brings with it a tantalizing hint of the adventures the day promises. Breakfast is a celebration of flavors, a feast that prepares the senses for the delightful journey ahead. With anticipation in the air, you embark on the Cacao Trails Chocolate Tour, during which the story of cacao unfurls, revealing its origins and more! This tour begins with a visit to a cocoa plantation that is more than 100 years old. Here, you'll learn about the rich history of cocoa before moving onto a more modern plantation where you'll get to taste their fruits. Continue to the Afro-Caribbean Museum where you'll dive further into history, checking out old machinery and observing the whole process of the cocoa bean. (Oh, and you'll get to taste some incredibly delicious chocolate, of course!)

Returning from the tour, the afternoon stretches ahead with free time for you to spend at leisure. And, as the hues of twilight begin to embrace the horizon, you'll gather for dinner as a group, sharing the day's experiences and creating a tapestry of memories.

As the final full day of this transformational retreat begins, we start with a morning yoga session that doubles as a celebration of the journey thus far. Each stretch, each breath, is a tribute to the inner light that has been uncovered, to the empowerment and healing that we have experienced. As the practice draws to a close, there is a collective sense of accomplishment. This newfound energy is channeled into a hearty breakfast, where conversations flow like the gentle waves of the ocean, brimming with reflections and joy.

The day continues with a workshop led by Enia. Each participant will find insights that speak to their soul, illuminating their unique path towards fulfillment and purpose.

Free time then beckons you to experience the magic of the retreat once more. As the sun begins to set, gather for our closing circle, during which we will celebrate the journey we have undertaken, both individually and collectively. There's a palpable sense of interconnectedness, of having journeyed together to unveil our strengths within.

Our final dinner together is a reflection of the retreat itself — a fusion of flavors, experiences, and emotions that will leave an indelible mark on our souls. As we sit together, you know that this retreat has been a profound step towards embracing the divine within.

As the first light of day pierces the horizon, we awaken for one final shared moment. Over breakfast, there's a gentle blend of nostalgia and hope, a reflection on the transformative days spent together and the paths that lie ahead. With your heart full of gratitude and memories, check out from the sanctuary and journey towards the airport. Thus ends a truly special retreat that we hope has transformed your inner being and recharged the energy you need to manifest a fuller life. Until next time — travel safe.
