The NUSHU Surf Retreat is aims to combine adventure, fun, and joy with opportunities for connecting with incredible women in a safe, nurturing, and judgment-free environment. We will create the conditions to come home to yourself in community, to remove all masks, show up exactly as you are, and be celebrated and loved for it.

Experience for one week what a full-body YES feels like. Our retreat will give you a chance to step out of your everyday life and deepen your connection to nature, others, and most importantly, to yourself. You will go back to your life forever changed- with a deeper understanding of what it means to be supported, nourished, seen, and acknowledged as the unique and beautiful gift that you are.

Our retreat destination, Nosara, is an endlessly beautiful place unique for its 5-mile coastline set against rich nature. Famous for its consistent swell for surfing, it has long been a beloved destination for surfers around the world.

Our retreat property, Sendero, is a boutique hotel designed to combine relaxed silhouettes, muted palettes, and earthy materials. While staying in any of the 25 stylish rooms and suites, you'll be greeted by the sounds and sights of Nosara’s surrounding beauty. 

You’ll share the Pura Vida lifestyle of this unique laid-back destination, surf your heart out in warm blue waves, and meet an amazing community of like-minded women that inspire a mindful and simple way of living.

Over the course of a week, we’ll create space for reflection, quiet, and restoration. You’ll come away with indelible memories, friendships, and a renewed sense of self. You'll experience:

• Surfing
• Yoga
• Nature
• Nourishment
• Community

• You’re thinking about all the obligations you have, feel guilty for leaving your family or work, and have never considered doing something like this before. That is EXACTLY why you should take this time for yourself.
• You feel like surfing is a little scary or intimidating and you’re not sure that you can do it. YES! We would love for you to come. That’s exactly where all the growth lives, and you will be supported ALL THE WAY. Also, no one will force you to do anything. You take everything at your own pace, and we will always honor what feels right to you.
