6-Day Retreat in Costa Rica to Reset, Reconnect, and Restore Your Health and Wellbeing.

This Mental Health Retreat offers a restorative pause from burnout, inviting you to reconnect with yourself and gently guide your nervous system back into balance.

Is This Retreat For You?

You can't remember the last time you felt genuinely rested. Even after a full night's sleep, you wake up feeling disconnected.

The thought of "one more thing" feels overwhelming. Things you used to love feel like obligations.

You know something has to change, but you need expert guidance. You’re looking for professionals who can teach you sustainable practices, just not in a small dark office.

Vacation is not enough. You’ve traveled to exotic places. And that helps, at least for a while, but eventually the familiar heaviness returns. You realize you’re not looking for another trip. You’re looking for a real change.

You’re ready to learn how to regulate your nervous system. You’ve tried self-help approaches, but what you really need is clinical expertise and a supportive focused environment to harness real change.

You've tried traditional therapy, but need a deeper reset. Talk therapy helped but you need body-based healing and practical tools to shift your nervous system out of survival mode.

Directly on Playa Pan de Azúcar (Sugar Beach) on the Northern Pacific Coast of Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Only an hour from the Liberia International Airport (LIR), the retreat is located on Playa Pan de Azúcar (Sugar Beach) on the Northern Pacific Coast of Guanacaste. We are only a few steps from the beach in one of the world’s five Blue Zones (the Nicoya Peninsula).   

Costa Rica: A Blue Zone of Wellbeing

Costa Rica is home to one of the world’s rare Blue Zones—regions where people live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. The secret? A lifestyle rooted in connection, balance, and purpose. That same spirit inspires our approach to wellness: creating space for joy, nourishment, and sustainable self-care that helps you thrive at every stage of life.

Blue Zones are regarded as areas that have the highest number of centenarians — people living the longest and healthiest. Blue Zones are known for their biodiversity, high levels of oxygen, healthy food, and strong sense of community with purpose.

Mornings often begin with a sunrise meditation and yoga session overlooking the jungle, followed by a gourmet breakfast enjoyed with the group.
