About this trip

Escape to the serene coastline of Costa Rica and embark on a liberating journey of reflection, expression and play — all set on a breathtaking private 10-acres where the jungle meets the sea. Our four-day Come Home Retreat offers a nurturing space to remember who you are and what you’re here for while being held by wild nature and heart-centered community. The retreat includes nourishing meals made with fresh, local ingredients, daily movement classes, breathwork and meditation offerings, creative workshops, and opportunities for intentional self-inquiry and connection. 

The Location

The retreat is nestled in nature at Salvatierra, a beachfront resort on the Nicoya Peninsula — one of the world’s five blue zones — halfway between Nosara and Santa Teresa. You can expect to cross paths with many butterflies, sting rays, iguanas, and pizotes during your stay on the land.
