Restore and revive! This retreat will be a full body and spirit reset. Easeful mornings for meditation or a walk along the beach, then we gather for long-form ALTER movement practices in a gorgeous yoga shala surrounded by lush tropical blooms or on the beach, integrating meditation and guided journaling sessions.
Afternoons are free for exploring the vibrant area and what is unfolding in your heart, with options for excursions to immerse you in the beauty and inspiring culture of the Nicoya peninsula, or a hike or personal mentorship session with Nicole. We will gather again for an early evening ALTER restorative and meditation practice followed by a leisurely dinner with rich conversation. Woven with a few surprises...
Two stunning, modern beach-front villas will be our retreat center. There are two accommodation options for our gathering, reflected in the registration options: either a room in the retreat villas (all rooms have their own en-suite bathrooms and can be booked as single or multiple occupancy), or you can book your own accommodations and join for the retreat programming (we can offer some suggested accommodations when you register for the retreat. The retreat villas are walking distance from most of central Nosara. If you want to bring your family or kids along, this is a perfect option).
Our retreat programming will begin at 5:00pm Friday evening
and conclude at 9:30am on Wednesday.
