About this trip

This retreat is incredibly special to us and our EVOLVE community. Costa Rica is where it all began in 2019, and now, we’re returning to its magic, but this time to a new and breathtaking location! Nestled in the beauty of the Province of Guanacaste, between Marbella and Nosara, surrounded by lush jungle and the rhythm of the ocean, we invite you into this inspiring container for five unforgettable nights. While the location and venue set the stage, what truly makes this retreat a soul stirring adventure is the intention behind it.


Through our signature EVOLVE practices, morning and evening rituals, ceremonies, group circles, adventure, and play, we create space for you to awaken joy, reconnect with what lights you up, and step deeper into the life you’re meant to live. This is more than just a retreat ... it’s an opportunity to remember, realign, and evolve.

About your organizer

Hi friends! I’m Mikaela (Mik), a movement guide (Yoga and Pilates; YouTube @MIKMILLMOVEMENT), wellness advocate, and founder of Evolve Retreats. I began leading retreats when I realized there was so much more to explore beyond a one-hour yoga class. I wanted to create immersive experiences that allow us to shift perspective, lean into ritual, awaken joy, and truly listen to what our hearts are calling us toward. Rooted in the concept of "living yoga", Evolve Retreats are here to support you on your ever-evolving journey through life.
