The Nature of Relating - Costa Rica 2023!!!

You’ve stepped out of the script of traditional relationships, and find yourself floating in an ocean of uncertainty.

You are exploring how you want to relate to others, and are confronted with the realization that it requires knowing yourself at an entirely new level.

You find yourself outside of your current social circle and are looking for ways to connect with others on a similar journey of relating. 

We know where you are. We’ve been there and understand the challenges of leaving the mainstream culture to seek a new path of relating.

That’s why we have created this retreat for you in Costa Rica. It’s a safe space for you to explore yourself, your partnerships(s) and connect with a community that understand you. 

We're here to offer you a powerful framework for processing jealousy, healing and integrating parts of yourself as you lean into the discomfort. We'll share with you the daily practices of self-love that with transform the way you relate with the world.

To prepare for our time together, we'll be offering a series of virtual meetings on various topics prior to the retreat This will give you a chance to have some foundational framework, as well as meet other participants!  

You'll be staying at ONDA, a boutique hotel near the beautiful beach of Playa Grande, on the western coast of Costa Rica in the Nicoya Peninsula (The famous Blue Zone!).  You'll be flying into the airport in Liberia...on the western coast. (note: there are two airports in Costa Rica so be sure to book LIBERIA!)

ONDA,  has quickly become one of my favorite places! They are a 5 minute walk to the beach, have great food, friendly service...and it's all ours for our retreat! 

A fantastic feature of this hotel is the different room types you can choose from..that can fit different budgets. 

It's important to book early to get the sleeping situation you prefer (the cost of the retreat depends on your sleeping preference)

Do I need to be currently in an open relationship to attend?

No, but we ask that you come with an open mind around relating. Most attendees will be exploring the concept of open relating, whether it is conceptual, currently practicing or find themselves fluidly exchanging the containers of conscious monogamy and open relating. 

Do I need to pay for the retreat in full now? 

No - we set up an option to pay a deposit and then a monthly payment plan. So, the earlier you reserve your space, the more spread out your payments can be. The default installment payment plan with automatically deduct the monthly payment on the first of the month, regardless of when you put down your deposit. If you need a different payment date, please reach out to megan@amorypodcast.com with your request. We can create the payment plan that you require on the backend of our process. 

Do I have to participate in ALL of the planned activities? 

Absolutely nothing is required! "You do you" is the best way to describe the ethos of the retreat. There will be A LOT of activities offered, and we trust that you'll navigate through your days as you see best fit!
