About your trip

Let's take a deeper dive into the world of horses and ourselves.


This 7 day immersive retreat is for those of you who have already experienced a Week 1 with Danielle and the horses of Tula Vida and are looking to continue their exploration and connection in the world of horses - where the secrets of harmony, connection, belonging and thriving are

abundantly shared.

2026 dates: 8 - 14 March 2026

2027 dates: 2-8 March 2027


The Place - Tula Vida Ranch

Tula Vida Ranch, where we will be staying for all six nights, is home to 14 very special rescue horses. The horses live fully connected as a complete herd and during our time at the ranch each of us will be accepted and embraced right into that herd connection.


Tula Vida Ranch

Tula Vida Ranch is surrounded by 3 volcanos, an expansive sunset view and pristine rainforest, with rivers, springs and ponds - the horses roam freely in this stunning environment where you will find you can breathe more deeply and re-discover your flow.


Accommodation

Rooms are beautiful and comfortable with a terrace and individual bathrooms.  


The Villas are double rooms with private bathrooms and a stunning terrace. The Horse Manor has private rooms with a shared kitchen/living area and a stunning terrace where the horses may come and join you for your morning coffee. 


Our communal lodge is where we share meals, practice yoga and is a safe, comfortable space to rest. 


Nourishment

Meals are home-cooked with love, using fresh local ingredients.  Our water comes from our abundant natural springs and we have air fresh from the trees to breathe - everything is designed to be in harmony with the surroundings and support your mind, body and spirit to rest, re-energise and renew.


Environment and Herd

Tula Vida is 100% off-the-grid with its own solar power and fresh spring water living in harmony with nature while remaining a safe, comfortable human retreat. 


1000s of trees and plants are already planted, including a food forest and a nursery for endangered trees, to encourage the forest to regenerate and give wildlife corridors to pass through the neighbouring national parks.  It is a true sanctuary for all visitors, which includes shy tapirs, rare bell-birds and plenty of toucans, sloths and monkeys.


You can spend a lot of time out on the stunning property - with trails, rivers, waterfalls, valleys, primary rainforest and abundant wildlife - truly accessible nature.  


Tula Vida Foundation is also a 501c charity registered in the US with a mission to rescue horses in Costa Rica and sponsor people to come for transformational horse experiences and retreats.


A visit supports not just yourself but also the natural environment, the rescue horses, the local community who work with us and people without the means to have these kind of experiences.
