Step into the rhythm of Costa Rica, where jungle meets ocean and life slows just enough to listen.
Enjoy a curated trip with a small group of 8-12 -- no planning required. Step into abundance, knowing every meal, activity, and experience has been carefully planned so you can let go and enjoy the energy of a small -- but not too small -- travel group.
Group pricing includes all accommodations, transportation over the course of the week, all cuisine with the exception of a couple of select meals, and all activities, tours, and excursions. All activities are optional, and each day includes a balance of beauty, movement, and peace.
See below for more information on our week together.
We will enjoy daily activities designed to enliven the spirit and the body, with plenty of time for quiet and restoration. Enjoy:
Lush Rain forest hikes and waterfall swimming
Beach clubs, and boating, and beaches
Shopping, eating local cuisine, exploring communities
Spa and massage
Yoga, meditation, and healing energy
In the guanacaste area, one of the most beautiful locations, we’ll spend our days immersed in nature and nourishment—hiking lush rainforests, swimming beneath waterfalls, enjoying beaches and boat days, savoring local cuisine, and exploring nearby communities. Daily yoga and meditation are offered, and spa treatments, rituals, and energy healing create space for deep restoration and renewal. Come as you are. Leave grounded, refreshed, and more connected to what matters.
Each morning will begin with an optional offering of gentle yoga and meditation practice as a way of reflecting on and integrating our travel experience. In addition to these offerings, several afternoon/evenings will offer the opportunity for an introduction to other types of meditation and energy work, including yoga nidra and Reiki.
Over the course of the week, we will incorporate the theme of restoration into the week: noticing opportunities for awe and small joys, taking quiet moments for reflection, trusting any inner wisdom that surfaces and bringing home the joy that will surface as we spend our time together!
Classes are from the Hatha and Tantra lineage, and are crafted with beginners in mind. Classes will be offered outdoors overlooking the beautiful Adriatic sea, and we have a dedicated indoor yoga space if needed as well.
Healthful and delicious food is part of the retreat experience. Meals are included, with the exception of a couple of selected meals where the length of the day or activity planned creates a great opportunity to venture on your own!
Enjoy cuisine which combines creativity and flavors with special attention to creating balanced meals. Wholesome ingredients, freshness of the foods, traditional cooking methods and local ingredients are present in every meal you will enjoy. Meals will be enjoyed at the hotel or in carefully chosen restaurants around the area. We'll feast on traditional flavors of Croatia mixed with Mediterranean styles, and don't forget delicious desserts.
Throughout the week we'll have a chance to sample regional cuisine and various other specialties. We will enjoy daily breakfast, various visits to gourmet restaurants, and delicious snacks.
Once the full group attending is confirmed, we'll reach out to discern dietary restrictions and preferences. Each meal will offer a vegetarian option, in keeping with the yogic tradition of a light footprint, in addition to a meat-based option.
The magic of this experience is the approach to our travel together. Each day is carefully planned to support you in relaxing into the experience, knowing every detail been arranged on your behalf, with just the right balance of activity, beauty, and restoration in mind. And, should you find that another idea, excursion, or rest calling to you, you are invited to listen closely to that voice and follow your instincts. This is your experience, and I’ll be here to support you in any way I can.
Awe experiences have an impact on the soul level. When our senses are overwhelmed by wonder, we are pulled from ourselves into the realization of something much larger and more expansive. This opens up imagination, creativity, spaciousness. As William James said, when we experience wonder we allow "the sand and grit of the selfhood incline to disappear, and tenderness to rule."
Hi friends! My name is Kris Lehman - a certified meditation and yoga nidra instructor, Reiki Master, fellow traveler, and lifelong seeker of beauty, connection, laughter, and awe.
After visiting 23 countries and many retreats, I have found that I love creating travel experiences that enliven the senses and restore the Spirit. Travel is transformational for the soul. For me, it has been essential for the spaciousness to envision the right question, next step, or even the clarity I need for the next iteration of my life journey. Travel can be an external delight and a container for inner wisdom and that is my invitation to you.
