About this trip

Remember what it’s like to be close to our Sacred Earth and connect to your deeper self; sit under a blanket of stars on the beach, practice yoga to the symphony of sounds in the rainforest, explore the lush flora and fabulous fauna that CR boasts, and gather with like minded women coming together to recognize that we are all, individually and collectively, a part of the natural world. 

Overveiw

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of life and transition from Winter

into Spring with Brooke on this 7 day, 6 night women's retreat in bountiful

Costa Rica. Intentionally curated practices will be offered to nourish the body

and soul. Special workshops and Earth honoring rituals will be shared to help 

us remember the connection between our deepest inner selves and the 

abundant external world. Together we will embark on inward and outward 

bound adventures, and there will be ample time for solo reflection, exploration 

and relaxation. Accommodations and meals will be provided by Vida Asana, 

an eco retreat center located in Playa Hermosa which is situated on the Pacific 

coast of Costa Rica and is considered the adventure capital of Central America.

The beach is just a 10 minute bike ride away from the retreat center.

Additional Adventure Options

Rainmaker Conservation Project - $70 per person: Rainmaker Park is the best of both worlds as it feels like a national park yet is relatively unheard of – a hidden gem! The gorgeous shade-making tree canopy and clear waters keep this hike super fresh even on the hottest of days. One of our favorite guides will take you on this adventure, ensuring that you see as much wildlife as possible while educating the group about
the inner workings of the rainforest and her plant and animal life. It is a true rainforest experience, complete with hanging bridges, rushing rivers, waterfalls, and clear fresh-water swimming pools. The tour finishes up with a home cooked traditional lunch (included in price).

Surfing - $60 per person: This family business brings together the best local surfers to teach you the ins and outs, guaranteeing you to stand up before your lesson is over. Lessons take place in Jacó where the tides are a bit more predictable. They provide door to door service with a laid back professionalism that will have you feeling super secure and like a local in no time!

Stand Up Paddleboard - $65 per person: The same outfit that leads our surf lessons also offer stand up paddle boarding where the sea is calm. It’s a great group activity!

Sweatlodge - $80 per person: This is a variation on the Native American inipi or temezcal. Participants are led by a trained shamanic practitioner to release toxins of both a physical and emotional nature through sweating induced from fire heated sacred stones. Prayers and blessings are offered up during each of four sessions, or doors, each lasting around 20 minutes and interspersed with dipping in the cool sitting pool or under the shower to prepare for the following door. After the final door, the group walks across the road to the beach to enjoy the sunset and process the experience.

Horseback Riding and Jungle Spa - $110 per person: A beautiful and loved horseback riding adventure that includes a full mud bath with the famous Costa Rican blue clay and swimming in waterfalls. This professional outfit offers up to 6 riders per excursion twice daily. They fill up fast, so typically we need to have reservations made in advance of your group’s arrival.

Mirador Hike - $20 donation: Sean, owner of  Vida Asana, leads a beautiful walk along the local lookout point made from modern ruins and claimed by local artists. Beautiful views and a leisurely stroll make this an enjoyable group activity and it benefits the local Brazilian Jiu Jitsu organization, BJJ Jacó.
