For many, February is a time to get out of the cold and be somewhere warm and tropical with the opportunity to reflect and recharge.  However, you might probe a bit deeper and ask yourself, "Is stress increasing in my life?"  Do you assume it will magically disappear next year - a year predicted to be even more tumultuous or that this stress will not effect your well-being? Would you like to take steps to redirect that momentum?  If you answered yes, then set your intention to be on retreat with me at AHKí, and notice as your intention begins to take root and blossom.  Not only will you benefit from your time on retreat, but those connected to you. This is Foresight 2020.

Clarify Your 2020 Vision.  During our week-long retreat at AHKí, we will use curiosity, accessible and sustainable Alignment Yoga, mindful movement practices, guided meditations and pranayamas to reawaken and reestablish  a heartfelt connection with ground, nature, and innate wisdom.   In so doing, you'll empower yourself to navigate more gracefully through these challenging times.  

There will be ample time during the day to luxuriate and enjoy.  Indulge in massage, watch 20+ species of birds, read, journal, lounge, swim and chat poolside.  Or venture into the village take an ocean swim or walk along the three-mile-long beach.   Several excursions are available if you are so inclined.  By the end of the week, you will feel rejuvenated, connected, spacious, and more clearly able to navigate the many challenges certain to arise in the coming year.  Set your intention now to be in community with trees, sky, ocean, birds, animals and humans at the beginning of this auspicious year - 2020.   

This is a special invitation to sequester yourself at AHKi, an exquisite tropical mountain sanctuary in one of five "Blue Zones" on the planet. 

AHKí is an intimate yet spacious retreat destination nestled amongst  5.5 mountain acres.  It is  reserved exclusively for our small group.   AHKí is located on the Pacific coast, in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica.  Imbued with lush, green mountainsides, blue ocean waters, plentiful  sunshine, AHKí is the perfect  destination for your retreat.  

What is so unique about AHKí is that it truly IS a sacred space - built specifically according to the ancient science of Vastu Shastra, "the yoga of space", invoking peace, wellness and harmony. A true, Vastu built dwelling helps to maximize the flow of positive, healing energy throughout.

All 6 rooms have ceiling fans, large windows and doors, as well as plenty of  overhead ventilation for optimal airflow. All rooms have private baths  with large unique and luxurious indoor/outdoor showers, and patios and  decks that command stellar views of the mountains and valleys.

As remote as AHKí feels, it is only  minutes away from beaches, kayaking, horseback riding, nature hikes, restaurants and more.

Perhaps like me, you're a bird watching enthusiast, and the possibility of travel brings visions of seeing birds you've never seen before.  After our retreat, I am planning on going into or near the Cloud Forest (a few hours south of San Jose) for a few days to do some serious birdwatching with a resident expert.  I'll be staying at Dantica; however, there are several nearby birding lodges.  Let me know if that is of interest to you.  

For a limited time,  I am offering a 3% price discount.  Simply enter  "EARLYBIRD" into discount code field when you check out.  The 3% will come off your remaining balance after your deposit.
