I invite you to join me in the beautiful town of Nosara, Costa Rica from October 7th to 12th, 2026.
Where we will be.
Nestled in the Nicoya Peninsula—one of the world’s five official Blue Zones—Nosara is a peaceful beach town about two hours Southwest of Liberia, Costa Rica. Located in the heart of Central America, Costa Rica is known as one of the safest and most stable countries in the region, celebrated for its friendly locals, strong environmental values, and “pura vida” way of life. Life here moves at a slower pace—sunsets, surf, and connection taking priority over stress and hurry.
Why Costa Rica?
When I visited Costa Rica in September 2025, I instantly knew it was the perfect place to host my first international retreat. The people embody pura vida, a phrase that means far more than “life is good.” It’s a way of being rooted in balance, gratitude, and presence. Costa Rica’s culture reflects this philosophy in every way—from its strong sense of community and environmental harmony to its focus on health, simplicity, and joy. My hope is to expose others to this way of living—to the peace that comes from moving gently, eating mindfully, connecting deeply, and appreciating the beauty of life as it unfolds.
Our Space
A private villa nestled into the cliffside just above Playa Guiones in Nosara, offering ocean views from every bedroom, the kitchen, living room, and the saltwater infinity pool. Built with sustainability in mind, this villa is fully solar-powered, recycles all water to nourish its gardens, and has a whole-house water filtration system.
What to expect
Throughout the retreat, we’ll nourish body, mind, and spirit with daily movement, a mix of private-chef meals & local favorites, and intentional connection. You’ll enjoy surfing lessons, a pottery meditation, zip-lining above the jungle, a private waterfall hike, a cacao ceremony under the stars, and much much more. There will also be plenty of free time for rest, reflection, and sisterhood—embracing the pura vida rhythm that makes Nosara so magical.
