About your trip

You have all the wisdom you need inside you – even when it doesn’t always feel like that.  You just need the right setting and the right tools…and we know just the place…


This is a private retreat at Tula Vida for a fun, impactful, rejuvenating retreat in gorgeous Costa Rica, where we will be sharing and exploring the secrets of a fully connected life.  This retreat includes transformational experiences with horses, plenty of time in glorious nature, great food, yoga, mindfulness and relaxation, balanced with activities to support our nervous system in shifting back into balance.


THE GIFT OF HORSES – as sensitive herd and prey animals - is an amazing capacity to sense, read and respond to what we are feeling on the inside.  They know when we are connected, when we are not, when we are authentic and when we are not (even when we don’t know ourselves) and they act accordingly. Their survival depends on it. They don’t have the capacity to be inauthentic and, being wired to do whatever they can to create positive connections, they actively WANT US TO BE PART OF THE HERD.


A horse can – with their reaction to us and interaction with us – gently guide us to be in our best place, authentic, connected with ourselves and valued herd members.  Add in the base level support of beautiful, vibrant nature and the volcano energy and you will feel the benefit of a full nervous system reset, a top up of good feelings and the secrets to feeling connected in life.  Nature knows, horses know, we can practice.


When we are tuned in and aware, we find the answers.  And once we know how to find balance in ourselves, everything falls into place.


This is week where you can experience, explore, unwind and be fully yourself.  Expand past your comfort zone and actually enjoy the ride – and do it with a group of people who came for the same reason.


Are you READY?  

The horses are waiting for you!


See you soon,

Sally, Eric and the Tula Vida herd


The Place - Tula Vida Ranch

Away from the sound of civilization, we have created an oasis for both humans and horses. Every time we step onto the land we feel the power of the natural world to soothe, nourish and restore us. 


Tula Vida Ranch is surrounded by 3 volcanos, an expansive sunset view and pristine rainforest, with rivers, springs and ponds - the horses roam freely in this stunning environment where you will find you can breathe more deeply and re-discover your flow.


We spend a lot of time out on the 72 acre property - with trails, waterfalls, valleys, forests and abundant wildlife - truly accessible nature.  Our rooms are simple, beautiful and comfortable with a terrace and individual bathrooms.  Our communal lodge is where we share meals, practice yoga and is a safe, comfortable space to rest.


Meals are home-cooked with love, using fresh local ingredients.  Our water comes from our abundant natural springs and we have air fresh from the trees to breathe - everything is designed to support your mind, body and spirit to rest, re-energise and renew.
