About this trip

Tranquility Unveiled: A Yoga and Sound Healing Retreat at Costa Dulce Retreat Center, Nicaragua


Nestled along the pristine shores of Nicaragua, the Costa Dulce Retreat Center stands as a haven for those seeking solace, self-discovery, and rejuvenation. Amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of this Central American gem, the center and your hosts offer a transformative retreat that seamlessly blends the ancient wisdom of yoga with the therapeutic power of sound healing. This immersive experience promises to be a soul-stirring journey towards balance, inner peace, and holistic well-being.


Yoga Amidst Nature's Canvas: The retreat includes daily yoga sessions set against the backdrop of Nicaragua's lush landscapes. Experienced yoga instructors guide participants through a series of gentle asanas, pranayama, and meditation, creating a harmonious union between body, mind, and spirit. The sound of waves lapping against the shore and the gentle rustle of palm leaves overhead provide a natural symphony, enhancing the serenity of each practice.


Sound Healing Oasis: Central to the retreat is the incorporation of sound healing, a practice that utilizes various instruments and vibrations to promote healing and relaxation. Participants engage in transformative sound baths, where the resonance of crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, and other instruments wash over them, inducing a deep state of relaxation and inner harmony. This ancient modality helps release tension, clear energy blockages, and promote a sense of profound well-being.


Workshops and Guided Meditations: In addition to daily yoga and sound healing sessions, the retreat offers workshops on mindfulness, self-awareness, and the fusion of yoga and sound for healing. These interactive sessions provide participants with tools and insights to integrate the practices into their daily lives. Guided meditations, set against the backdrop of the retreat center's serene surroundings, deepen the transformative journey, encouraging participants to explore their inner landscapes.


Nutritious Cuisine and Eco-Friendly Accommodations: Costa Dulce Retreat Center places a strong emphasis on holistic well-being, extending to the culinary experience. Participants indulge in nutritious, locally sourced meals that nourish the body and support the cleansing process. The eco-friendly accommodations, nestled amidst nature, provide a tranquil space for reflection and relaxation, enhancing the overall retreat experience.


Community and Connection: The retreat fosters a sense of community and connection among participants. Shared experiences, communal meals, and group activities create a supportive environment for personal growth and the forging of meaningful connections. The communal spirit enhances the transformative nature of the retreat, leaving participants with a sense of interconnectedness and shared purpose.


This Sound and Soul Retreat at Costa Dulce Retreat Center, Nicaragua, will be a profound journey that transcends the boundaries of traditional wellness practices. In this idyllic setting, the combination of yoga, sound healing, and holistic living creates a transformative experience that lingers long after the retreat concludes. For those seeking a harmonious blend of self-discovery, relaxation, and connection with like-minded souls, this retreat is a gateway to tranquility and holistic well-being.

Accommodations were very nice. Appreciated our own pool. Transportation was very reasonable. People, including other tourists, were very nice. It is one happy island!
By Lisa G for Sound & Soul Aruba on Nov 11, 2023
Being somewhat new to yoga, and the fact that this was my first retreat, I didn't really have any predetermined expectations of this trip. What I will tell you is that now having experienced it, I am already looking forward to the next one! I enjoyed every aspect of the retreat from the accommodations, to the amazing food, to the intriguing yoga philosophy sessions, and the variety of classes offered. I can tell you that I have never been so moved by sound before experiencing the sound baths that were offered. I'm sure it had to do with the fact that I was totally immersed in the moment, and the beautiful surroundings of Aruba. As weird as it sounds, I came home feeling like I could breathe deeper. It's as if a weight was lifted off my chest. I know something about me changed while I was there and I know it's just the beginning of who I am meant to become. Thank you Beth, Madeline and Julia for an exceptional experience. It was a pleasure getting to know you and the rest of the group on a more personal level. This will go down in my books as one of the best trips I've ever experienced.

Julie: It was an absolute delight getting to know you better and being able to share our passions with you. We are so grateful to have been a part of your becoming! Much Love, Beth, Madeline (& Julia)

Excellent trip to a wonderful, unique location! Enjoyed my comfortable bed and slept well each night in the beautiful treehouse. Was fine with the fresh/cold water shower. Food and hospitality were great, and our hosts led a phenomenal yoga/sound retreat. Thank you!

I highly recommend taking this trip! I didn't realize how much I needed it mentally, spiritually, and physically. I am newer to yoga, so I was a little nervous. Beth and Madeline made me feel very comfortable. This trip is great for any level of yoga experience. Beth was very organized and thought of every little detail. She answered any questions I had very promptly. A week before the retreat we were sent out an agenda. I really liked that they let us know that this is our vacation! We could come to the morning yoga class or sleep in. My favorite part was at the end of each night Madeline provided a sound bath. Her voice and musical talent will put you in a deep relaxing state.
By Audrey B for Sound & Soul Ama Tierra on Apr 12, 2022
Amatierra was lovely as were the people. Costa Rica in February is prone to high winds at night, especially in the mountains. I recommend noise canceling headphones for sleep. Beth’s classes were great and I would travel with her again. I was less enamored of Madeline and the sound bath experience.
By Suzanne C for Sound & Soul Ama Tierra on Mar 13, 2022
Suzanne: My yes, the wind in Costa Rica was something to behold. We certainly got to experience the power of nature! I'm sorry to hear that it made your experience less than perfect! We loved having you on the trip and are delighted that we were able to spend some time getting to know you. Hopefully the next one will check all the boxes and get all the stars! <3
