The heart of Rainforest Remedy Retreat is simple and sacred: we will be making herbal medicine with local Indigenous medicine makers and herbalists, using plants and remedies that are deeply rooted in Costa Rican land traditions — including herbs you often cannot find in the United States. You will leave with medicine you can actually take home through travel with ease, including the farm’s world-famous 100% organic ginger syrup, along with other remedies made by your hand.

This retreat is for the nature lovers, the plant-curious, the wellness girlies, the herbalists, the yoga students, the soft adventurers, and anyone who feels like the earth has been calling them back into deeper relationship.

Each morning, we rise slowly with the land. Think fresh fruit picked straight from the farm, warm air, volcano views, and the kind of quiet that helps your nervous system exhale. Throughout the week, we will walk through cacao gardens, butterfly gardens, herbal gardens, and study the healing intelligence of stingless bees. We will learn from local herbalists and medicine makers, make remedies from the plants around us, and explore the everyday ways nature offers support.

We will also take a chocolate-making workshop where we learn how cacao is harvested, prepared, and turned into something sacred and sweet. You will leave with your own handmade chocolate treat to enjoy throughout the retreat — because healing can absolutely be delicious.

The Remedies We’ll Experience

During the week, we will be nourished by many forms of medicine:

Plant medicine making with local herbalists and Indigenous medicine makers
Organic ginger syrup making with medicine you can take home
Fresh fruit picking in the mornings
Cacao harvesting + chocolate making
Butterfly garden walks
Stingless bee education
Rainforest hiking to see birds, monkeys, and waterfall beauty
Arenal Volcano visit at one of the closest accessible viewing sites
Arenal Museum visit to deepen our relationship with the land
Natural hot springs for rest, restoration, and soaking it all in
Morning yoga to wake the body gently
At least one Pilates class for strength, stability, and play
Evening breathwork to anchor our connection to nature spirituality
A special plant-based dinner at one of the most beautiful and yummy restaurants in town

There will also be space along the way to make the retreat your own. Want to explore a shop in town? Try another adventure? Make a specific kind of medicine? Take a little quiet time with the trees? This retreat leaves room for your curiosity, your rhythm, and your own inner wisdom to rise.

Your Host

Your host, Jade Javon, is no stranger to Costa Rica. This will be her sixth time hosting in Costa Rica, and she has welcomed almost 100 women into retreat experiences there since beginning her retreat hosting journey. She knows the area, the flow, the beauty, the roads, the rhythms, and how to help you feel held while still leaving space for adventure.

You can trust that you are being guided by someone who loves this land, respects the medicine of community, and knows how to create a retreat that feels organized, soulful, and down to earth. You will also be joined by a guest herbalist who will help anchor our practices and deepen the plant wisdom woven throughout the week.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for folks who want to be immersed in nature without giving up beauty, comfort, and care. It is for people who are curious about plant medicine, herbal remedies, cacao, ginger, rainforest ecology, yoga, breathwork, and the ways the natural world can help us remember how to heal.

It is for the person who wants luxury, but not in a disconnected way. The kind of luxury we are leaning into here is waking up to volcano views, eating fruit from the land, soaking in hot springs, learning from medicine makers, sleeping somewhere beautiful, and having enough space to hear yourself again.

This is for you if you want to be surrounded by rainforest, held by community, inspired by plants, and reminded that nature has always been generous with her remedies.

Special Housing Options

There will be an Alumni House available for yoga training graduates who want to return to retreat at a more affordable rate.

There will also be a Herbalist House for herbalists, medicine makers, and plant lovers who want to come study, rest, and deepen their relationship with the land at a lower cost.

Rainforest Remedy Retreat is an invitation to come closer to the earth, closer to your body, closer to your breath, and closer to the wisdom that has been growing all around us.
