Some places invite us to explore. Others also invite us to remember who we are. Step into the rhythm of Costa Rica, where connecting with the divinity of nature is a call to offer more love to ourselves and everything around us.
We will explore the rainforest, hike to refreshing waterfalls, experience the unique wildlife of the jungle, and then transition to the coast where we will eperience a mix of beach and spa activities, explore the cultural traditions of the area, enjoying homemade meals with a local private chef and plenty of time for restoration.
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
Over eight unforgettable days, we'll experience two very different sides of Costa Rica. We'll begin in the lush northern rainforest, where the pace naturally slows. Surrounded by vibrant wildlife, rivers, waterfalls, and tropical forest, we'll spend our days immersed in nature while enjoying adventure, locally prepared meals, and restorativepractices that help us reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.
Midway through the journey, we'll travel to an extraordinary home overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Perched high above the coastline, it's one of those rare places where you can greet the sunrise with a cup of coffee and end the day watching the sun disappear into the sea. Here, our days become even more spacious—filled with quiet mornings, beautiful beaches, sailing, snorkeling, incredible cuisine, opportunities to explore authentic Costa Rican culture, time to rest, and meaningful conversation with new friends.
Together we'll discover extraordinary wildlife, savor fresh local flavors, learn from talented artisans, experience Costa Rican traditions, and enjoy optional yoga, meditation, and wellness experiences designed to support—not define—your journey.
This is not about checking destinations off a list. It's about traveling more slowly, noticing more deeply, and returning home feeling refreshed, inspired, and more connected—to nature, to others, and to yourself.
Whether you're seeking adventure, restoration, or simply the chance to experience Costa Rica in a more intentional way, we'd be honored to welcome you.
Each morning will begin with an optional offering of yoga and meditation practice as a way of reflecting on and integrating our travel experience. In addition to these offerings, we will include a variety of rituals and ceremonies designed to support us in connecting with the nature around us, and with ourselves.
Over the course of the week, we will incorporate the theme of connection and restoration into the week. When we connect with nature -- animals, plants, and landscape -- we are looking at a reflection of ourselves.
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 Costa Rica, many prepared by a local, private chef -- 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.
There is something remarkable about spending time in places where nature still sets the pace. The rainforest doesn't hurry. The ocean doesn't compete for our attention. Birds greet the morning without an agenda, and the setting sun quietly reminds us that every day has its own rhythm.
As we slow down enough to notice, something within us begins to settle too.
Throughout the week, we'll adventure and see the magical sites to be sure. And, we will be invited into meaningful Costa Rican traditions and cultural practices that honor our relationship with the natural world. These experiences aren't about becoming someone new—they're about remembering what has always been there beneath the noise of everyday life. As we deepen our connection with the land, the people, and the incredible biodiversity around us, we often discover a greater sense of trust, wonder, and compassion for ourselves.
In Costa Rica, you'll hear the phrase Pura Vida often. More than a greeting, it's a way of living—one that reminds us that a rich life is found not in doing more, but in being fully present to what already surrounds us. Our hope is that you'll return home carrying a little of that spirit with you.
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.
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.
