¡BIENVENIDAS!

Surf+Soul+Español is returning to Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort for round 5 in 2023! In honor of our 5th adventure in Costa Rica, SSE is moving back to its roots: a little surf, a lot of soul and finally some Español! Venture with us to Nosara, Costa Rica, our favorite little tico village in the heart of Guiones on the Nicoya Peninsula, one of the five Blue Zones on planet Earth. Expect our signature campy vibe, with morning vinyasa, rad field trips, yoga anatomy lessons, survival Spanish class, crafts-a-plenty, spontaneous sing-a-longs and loads of laughter. Ride the waves, literally AND energetically as we enjoy both Nosara’s epic surf and her go-with-the-flow vibe, where the best laid plans make Mother Nature and Real Life giggle with knowing.That is the magic of Nosara; she teaches us to relinquish control, to sync-up with the rhythms of nature and to find comfort in the midst of discomfort… rising with the birds, napping through the heat, dancing in the downpours, floating in the tide pools, sharing your lunch with iguanas, howling with the monkeys and singing with the frogs. In addition to practicing all that ‘real-life yoga,’, we will practice yoga in many other forms: various styles of asana (Vinyasa, PowerRestore®, Yin, Restorative, Kundalini. etc), along with breathwork and meditation. We will also employ our favorite local teachers, healers and guides to share their unique skills and practices. Join us in diving deeper, shedding layers of the unnecessary and exploring what is at the raw, real center of us all. Whether you are joining us for the first time or the fifth, we are thrilled to welcome you to our favorite little corner of Central America. ALL life lovers invited... no need to be prolific in anything to enjoy this immersion. SSE5 2023: Back to our Roots

A WORD ON ‘RETREAT’

To many people, the word retreat invokes thoughts of hiding or ‘getting away from it all.’ To others, it insinuates luxury, leisure and libation. While both of these uses of the word are valid, neither defines  what THIS week is about. Surf+Soul+Español is an invitation to join a group of like-minded, and sometimes unlike-minded people, to settle into a circle of trust, curiosity, adventure, honesty, noticing and non-attachment. While we are well taken care of, we might also get a little dirty, sweaty and bug bitten. We laugh and cry. We try new things. A lot. This is a retreat into ourselves, a chance to look within, stretch ourselves, confront fears, break wide open and explore new ways to heal.  If that sounds like your jam, we are your retreat happy place. Let’s go let-go together!

PLEASE NOTE:  ALL completed payments are NON-REFUNDABLE.  Your tuition requests will be billed to you in installations, outlined below. Should the trip be canceled on our end for some unforeseen reason, a combination of credit toward a future SSE retreat and cash refund will be applied. We are here for you and don't want to leave you hanging, and we really appreciate you planning responsibly by purchasing travel insurance.

See further cancelation policy/travel insurance info below.

Updates on any covid testing travel protocols will be shared closer to the trip.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

As we all know, life throws us curveballs sometimes. Travel insurance is not currently required by the country of Costa Rica, but IS recommended and is purchased separately from your retreat reservation.

TRAVEL TO NOSARA

OPTION 1: Fly into Liberia (LIR). Shuttle 2.5 HOURS to Nosara. (most popular)

OPTION 2: Fly into Liberia (LIR), and fly Sansa Air directly into Nosara. (beautiful views)

OPTION 3: Fly into San Jose (SJO), and fly Sansa Air directly into Nosara (possibly plan for an overnight).

TRAVEL TIPS

We recommend that you begin tracking flights to Liberia now. For the sake of flight planning, our retreat officially begins with 6pm dinner on April 29 and ends May 5 after breakfast; some retreaters might leave earlier in the morning on May 5 for flights. If you find that you need an overnight before or after the retreat, Liberia has a convenient hotel right across from the airport where our shuttle can pick up/drop off any overnighters: Hilton Garden Inn. As soon as you’ve booked your flight, please forward your info to powerrestoreyoga@gmail.com, along with any questions, so we can get your shuttle groups organized.

SHUTTLES

We are happy to arrange your shuttles to and from Bodhi Tree to the Liberia airport (LIR), Hilton Garden Inn Liberia, or Nosara Airport (NOB). BT’s transportation costs will be determined by how many of you are sharing any given shuttle.  Most people choose to fly into Liberia. The shuttles are their own little adventure and can be a fun time to get to know one another, cow gaze, practice your Spanish with your driver or nap off a red-eye. Nosara does have an airport, so if you like little planes and pretty views and want to avoid the long bumpy roads, that’s a great option, too. There is currently only one airline flying into Nosara. Sansa Air.

MAKE SURE YOUR PASSPORT IS UP TO DATE 

It’s best if it's got at least 6 months beyond our travel date before expiring. Plant it in a safe place, and don't forget where that special place is. You will need your passport to register for the retreat.
