This retreat is a 5 day immersive experience designed to deepen your connection to your self and community while engaging in meaningful social outreach and personal transformation. This powerful yoga retreat is led by three facilitators: Kelly Concannon, Greg Nardi and Meg McCarver. Together, we will co-create a space in paradise with us to heal and experience our unstruck heart, the Anahata. Our focus emphasizes personal love, and incites community through acts of love and compassion. 

Enjoy a blissful state of “being” at the Pura Vida Mountaintop Retreat Center, surrounded by coffee plantations and overlooking the Costa Rica central valley.

The retreat is for all levels, from beginners to experienced yogis, who are looking to combine their practice with a purpose.

The retreat focuses on a balanced blend of personal growth and community engagement.

• Morning Sessions (Self-Love): The day begins with a silent meditation followed by a morning salute to the sun through a  yoga practice. The yoga practice will be followed by a pranayama practice. These sessions are designed to cultivate self-awareness, mindfulness, and a deeper appreciation for your body. Morning sessions will include an exploration of topics through journaling, and will encourage participants to reflect on their relationships to self-care in order to enhance self awareness and transformation. 

• Afternoon Sessions (Collective Love): Afternoons are dedicated to fostering connection with others. Activities include individual or partner yoga, group discussions on key yogic texts. Spiritual texts are intended to assist in building conscious relationships. These sessions emphasize the idea that collective well-being starts with a practical understanding of yogic philosophy in action. Participants are encouraged to share individually and collectively through group participation and journaling. 

• Social Outreach (Universal Love) This is a key component of the retreat. Participants will spend time working with  local non-profit organizations. 

• Evening Activities:Universal Love (Love Integration):  Evenings are for restoration and community building. Evenings will incorporate gentle restorative yoga, kirtan (devotional chanting), simply stargazing, energy healing circles, and ceremony.
