Set in the lush tropical Central American country of Costa Rica, this retreat is geared towards centering your energy and your spirit on yourself. A week just to focus on you. Imagine a vacation that leaves not just feeling relaxed, but actually improves your life. Find a little deeper sense of peace, feel more connected, and go home feeling like a better, healthier, more whole person.

Our retreat center is located on the eastern coast in the province of Limon, just a short walkable distance to the ocean. This eight day retreat will feature daily yoga, meditations, and excursions to discover the local landscape and indigenous traditions of the area. Through hiking water falls, relaxing on ocean beaches, the movement of yoga, and cultural exploration of the customs of Costa Rica, we will discover all our bodies do to support us, and to help us see all that we are and all that we can be.

Patti's retreats are geared for the adventurous yogi, those who like to see and do as much in this lifetime as possible. All while keeping you grounded, centered, and thankful for the gift that is your life.

Traveling to Bali for the yoga retreat with Patti was an amazing experience. The trip included daily yoga and many other planned, enriching activities. There wasn’t a single outing/event/class that I didn’t end up loving. The trip gave me a chance to explore Bali and its culture while also reconnecting with myself. And, I made some great new friends along the way. Do it! Take the plunge and go on this retreat!

This was an epic trip for me! Bali was magical all by itself and being there with Patti doing yoga was the icing on the top. Patti did a fantastic job preparing the group ahead of time with flight options, packing suggestions and also provided great resources for items that we have needed to purchase. Once I arrived, Patti was in communication making sure I had connected with my driver and got to my hotel safely as I arrived a few days before retreat. She arranged her driver to pick me up on day of retreat to take me to the retreat center. FireFly Retreat center was simply gorgeous. Well appointed, clean and bright. The bed was super comfortable. Staff and owner were amazing- the food was unbelievably good and staff made sure we were got anything we needed in a very timely manner. The retreat itself was a wonderful mix of yoga, meditation, breathwork, spiritual excursions as well as free time to explore the beauty of Bali or simply to sit and immerse yourself in those energies. I can't recommend it enough and will definitely be going on another trip with Patti and back to Bali!

I had the most amazing first trip to Costa Rica! The process to book and schedule everything was perfect Patti was amazing with assisting me every step of the way with the travel and clearly explained what to expect! Once I arrived everything was exceptional from where we stayed the food the people I met along the way! WOW! Super amazing trip and can’t wait to go back!

I did not attend this event due to the corona virus as I am health compromised. Many things unfolded due to the virus including many actions taken since the trip to prevent travel to Bali. I believe Patty should refund money to those of us that were unable to attend due to these very unusual circumstances. The Ark should be willing to refund money and Patti should refund any money she was not charged.

This trip was life changing for me. Patti made set up, payment and arrangements very easy. She was available for questions and provided all valuable information up front. She made sure I had my hand held when needed or gave me freedom to explore. She did a great job of having plenty activities for all to enjoy. She has a firm knowledge of the area and culture in Bali. It was truly an amazing trip. I will gladly send others her way. I hope to join again in the future!
