Whispers of Pura Vida: A Costa Rican Odyssey of Self & Serenity with Dayannah Woody

Welcome to our transformative wellness retreat at The Goddess Garden Eco Resort! Today, as you touch down at Juan Santamaría International Airport, you embark on a journey of self-discovery and creative flow. Upon arrival, a group transfer awaits to smoothly transition you into the embrace of our serene sanctuary. As you check-in, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the surrounding beauty, taking a moment to explore the grounds at your own pace and comfort.

As evening descends, gather with fellow participants for a sumptuous welcome dinner, where the ambience is set for relaxation, conversation, and the gentle awakening of your inner world. From here, we’ll partake in a formal introduction session, followed by an optional restorative yoga session to help us relax from our travels and open the body and mind up to new possibility.

As the morning light filters through the lush trees, embrace the serenity and fluidity of an optional yoga session, grounding your senses and prepping your mind for the day’s experiences. Then, refuel with a nourishing breakfast. The rest of the morning will consist of time to Find Your Flow (State), lunch, and a brief accountability session, where you can check in with the group and your inner landscape.

The afternoon lends time for personal endeavors or an optional mental agility activity. Today’s activity is a waterfall hike. Here, you can bask in the serenity, take a refreshing swim, and reconnect with nature's pristine beauty.

As we make our way back to the resort, the evening unfolds with a sumptuous dinner and a short decompression session, a time and space to reflect on the day. Close out the night in your own way or enjoy an optional Mental Reset & Relaxation session with the group.

Awaken to the promise of another refreshing day as you start with an optional yoga session, a wholesome breakfast, and a mental appetizer session. From here, we’ll focus on staying in flow and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and each other’s company.

In the afternoon, enjoy some free time or take a deep dive into the culture and history of Costa Rica as we visit the Bribri indigenous people. This immersive experience will offer a rare glimpse into the Bribri's traditional way of life. Marvel at their architectural prowess as they showcase house-building using natural materials, and soak in the richness of their heritage, language, and culinary arts. As you wander through their yards, you'll discover the healing wonders of medicinal plants and gain insights into age-old techniques of rope-making, color extraction, and even a bow and arrow hunting demonstration.

As evening arrives, come together for a brief decompression session and a scrumptious dinner, an ode to the day's simplicity and charm. Post-dinner, enjoy the resort amenities, head to bed early, or partake in a Mental Reset & Relaxation session to wind down with the group.

Another beautiful day in paradise begins with an optional yoga session, breakfast, and a mental appetizer session where we buck against tradition to learn how great minds don’t think alike — they think differently. From here, we’ll get in flow, indulge in more delicious local fare, and connect with the group through our accountability circle.

After an immersive morning, savor some time to connect with nature and yourself or get adventurous with today’s mental agility activity: Horseback riding on the beach! Stroll along the coastline, marveling at the idyllic sights on top a great steed.

Back at the resort, dinner will bring us together again, followed by our decompression section and a free evening. Use this time to rest or partake in an optional Mental Reset & Relaxation session. No matter what you choose, savor every moment here.

Rise and shine with the jungle bird songs and decide if you’ll partake in an optional yoga session or head straight to breakfast. A mental appetizer session, time for flow, and lunch lead us to our daily accountability circle.

For those keen on adding a dash of adventure, a kayaking excursion awaits at the stunning Punta Uva beach. Under the guidance of a trained expert, you'll paddle through the azure ocean before smoothly transitioning into the winding Punta Uva River. This river journey takes you deeper into the heart of the jungle, a haven for birds, wild animals, and lush tropical flora. As you move, the only trace you'll leave behind are the gentle ripples in the water. If this doesn’t sound like your thing, hang back at the resort and simply relax or choose your own adventures in Costa Rica.

As the sun sets, a delicious dinner awaits, followed by our nightly decompression discussion and an optional Mental Reset & Relaxation session. Under the starry sky, choose you and your dreams, aligning your mind, body, and soul within the power of the Pura Vida landscape.

Greet our last full day here with optional yoga and or a delicious breakfast before gathering in our last mental appetizer session, anchoring ourselves in the collective energy and setting intentions for the day.

Today, we have our final group activity — zip lining through the Costa Rican rainforest! Soar high above the tree tops and marvel at the jungle from new heights before returning to the resort.

As our retreat begins to come to a close, we’ll dine under the stars one last time, then come together for our last communal circle in the form of a mindfulness Savasana. What have you learned? What have your shared? What will you take with you on your journey back home?

Begin your day with one last optional yoga session, followed by a delightful breakfast at our retreat, savoring the flavors and the memories we've created together. As the morning sun rises, it's time to gather your belongings and check out of our accommodation, carrying with you not just your luggage, but a heart full of experiences. As a group, we'll journey to Juan Santamaría International Airport, reminiscing about the shared moments and the bonds formed. While our physical journey concludes here, the internal voyage of discovery, growth, and connection continues. Until we meet again, cherish the moments, the learnings, and the newfound friendships. Safe travels and warm farewells!
