Into the Wild Bloom is a small, intimate women’s retreat in Costa Rica, created to help you slow down, reconnect, and feel deeply nourished in nature.

Set in the lush jungle, our days unfold gently through yoga, meditation, and breathwork, with time to rest, reflect, and simply be. Playful watercolor sessions invite creative expression without pressure or experience needed — a space to explore creativity in a relaxed, intuitive way.

We’ll spend time immersed in nature and local culture, including a peaceful mangrove boat experience where monkeys move through the trees, swimming beneath waterfalls, and sharing a home-cooked meal with a local Costa Rican family. A sunset trip to the Pacific coast offers space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

This retreat is not about doing more — it’s about creating space. Space to listen inward, soften your nervous system, and return home feeling grounded, inspired, and renewed.

This retreat is designed for all levels. Everything is optional, and there is plenty of space for rest, solitude, and personal time.

Nestled in the hills above Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast, Selvática is a sanctuary for renewal. Hand-built with intention by founders Sander and Cristina, this eco retreat honors simplicity, mindfulness, and connection to the earth.

With two open-air yoga shalas — the Sky Shala overlooking the ocean and the Jungle Shala nestled beneath the trees — every practice feels like an offering to the land. The sounds of birds and the hum of the forest become part of each meditation and ritual.

Where: Near Jacó and Manuel Antonio National Park
Beaches nearby: Bejuco & Esterillos Este (~20 minutes)

Meals are prepared by Cristina, a registered dietitian and chef, using farm-to-table ingredients sourced from nearby villages. Expect colorful, mostly plant-based dishes — grounding, vibrant, and nourishing.

All dietary needs can be accommodated with love and care. Each meal is served in the open-air dining space, surrounded by the sounds of the jungle and the warmth of community.

"I entered the retreat with no expectations truly open to the experience and enjoyed every moment. They created from the very outset a safe inclusive environment and their carefully curated agenda provided so many opportunities for self reflection, growth and a deep sense of connectivity and grounding with others and Mother Nature. I would absolutely recommend going with your heart saying yes to the opportunity and diving right in! Enjoy!"

" I felt carried by the energy of the group and had the feeling that anything was possible together. Thank you for creating magical moments in the most magical place."

"I had a transformative experience at the retreat, discovering how daily yoga opened up my body and showed me how much more flexible I am, both physically and mentally. The sense of community was something I had missed, and this retreat brought that connection back into my life. Olivia’s presence was a highlight for me—she brought a human warmth, softness, and understanding that made me feel truly comfortable. The herbal experiences she led were beautiful, and her calming nature was something I truly appreciated. Olivia’s guidance and the sense of connection made this retreat a truly meaningful experience for me. I also want to give a special shout-out to the staff at Pueblo del Sol—they were incredibly accommodating and made our stay even more special. "

" Spending this time at this retreat was such a blessing in my life. To come together with like-minded people, eat beautiful healthy food, practice daily yoga, experience rituals that soothed my soul was truly amazing and healing."
