      About this trip

      Join the NYE Costa Rica Reset Retreat with Loren Lotus, Ryann Tillman & the Lotus Retreats family for a celebratory 6-day and 5-night restoration and reset on the beautiful pacific coast of Dominical, Puntarenas, Costa Rica <3


      We'll journey to one of our favorite countries in the world! Surrounded by the abundant and lush jungle of Costa Rica, we'll journey deep back within ourselves and reset the energy after a full year behind us. This retreat will offer a variety of practices, outside of Yoga, to move our bodies, channel our deep breath, silent the mind and clear our energy for a peaceful and powerful reset back to ourselves. 


      Costa Rica offers an abundance of nature all around us to fully experience the natural and spiritual beauty of this country! Aside from being fully immersed in the jungle by simply sleeping and waking up here, we've designed an intimate itinerary offering unique opportunities to experience the beauty of this country firsthand; we'll offer treks along our favorite forest trails, guided tours through parks and beaches to waterfalls and mountains. 


      There is truly something special for everyone to gain from this retreat experience! You might begin your Yoga practice, expand an existing practice, dive deep beneath the layers of the energetic system, connect with like-minded individuals, build community and explore the lush nature of Costa Rica for an unforgettable experience.


      AND ~ Expect lots of time to rest and play! You’ll be given the opportunity to participate in each class, workshop and nature excursion designing the week however you'd like.

      This was a wonderful retreat in a beautiful setting. I loved the yoga classes, food, and the cultural immersive experiences. I highly recommend a Lotus Retreat!
      By Kathy A for Lake Atitlan, Guatemala NYE Reset Retreat (2024!) on Jan 06, 2024
      Incredible cultural voyage through the sacred valley of Peru. This was an adventurous and beautiful retreat. More than just asana yoga. There were indigenous ceremonies, hikes through the mountains, and historical site visits. Lotus Retreats always forms a connected group and we had a blast in Peru. I would 100% travel with Lotus Retreats again

      First and foremost, apologies for this super overdue review. I just realized that I haven't left a review for Loren Lotus, but periodically I have thought about this magical retreat I went on with Loren in 2018 to Colombia. Loren was very communicative about all the trip details beforehand, and planned very special programs; a small trip to the neighboring village with a local guide, interesting workshops with great guest teachers, etc. although she is an amazing instructor! The retreat venue was magical and was very accommodating about everyone's dietary restrictions. I spent possibly the best week of my life, and I am forever grateful for that experience. Highly recommend it if you are looking for something to nourish your mind, body, and heart. Thank you Loren. I hope you are doing well! Sending love.

      I had an amazing experience in Colombia with Lotus Retreats in July 2023. Loren and Rachel are fantastic women who lead with love and light. They show so much care and respect towards each person's experience and offer each guest the opportunity to make their trip as busy or relaxed as they wish it to be. I highly recommend the excursions, as I got to experience more of Colombia and the history of its culture; however, they are optional, which is great on days when a guest would prefer some time spent in reflection. The daily yoga offerings were my favorite part, as they brought different styles of yoga, pranayama techniques, and sound healing into class. And finally, the freshly prepared, locally-sourced meals were INCREDIBLE. My body is still thanking me!

      I had the opportunity to deepen my practice / experience the beauty of Tulum Mexico with Lotus Retreats and would do it again in a heartbeat! The Lotus Retreats crew quickly created a space of loving community, increased awareness, and intentional practice within the first few hours of our retreat and it only got better from there! These retreats are special. Humanity in raw form. I'll be back for more, no doubt!
