Have the Ultimate Trip for Relaxation

 

We’re going to Costa Rica - Pura Vida Baby!
November 14-19, 2024

 

 

"Pura vida" is a Spanish phrase that translates to "pure life" in English.

 

It's commonly used in Costa Rica to express a philosophy of living life to the fullest, embracing a relaxed and laid-back attitude, and appreciating the simple joys of life.

 

It embodies a sense of optimism, gratitude, and contentment with what one has.

Leave all the details to us, so you can relax into the sights, sounds and flavors of Costa Rica, all the while getting to hang with phenomenal people and treat your body to bliss.

 

Stress? Busyness?

That stays behind - this is all about the JOY and PEACE of being alive.

The itinerary

 
 Arrival Evening

Day 1


WELCOME TO COSTA RICA! MEET YOUR PLAYMATES FOR OUR TRIP!

 

Arrive in Costa Rica and be driven with your new friends to your relaxation oasis at El Lugar. We’ll kick off the evening with a Costa Rican dinner and conversation to connect and get to know each other.

Day 2

RELAXATION & RIVERS

 

The first day is ripe with possibilities to recalibrate and discover the beauty of the people around us and the earth.

We’ll start the day with gentle morning yoga, breathwork and meditation with James. After breakfast at the pool restaurant, we will head out together with experienced guides to raft a nearby river. The waves are easy and fun as we float by the local birds, animals and rainforest.

Our sunset session today will be a Inner Dance sound, sensory, and healing journey with Amy where you get to lay down and journey into the dreamscape.  An inner dance session isn’t what you may think - you get to lay down on your mat and just receive a sound bath with any or no movement at all. Our evening meal will be enjoyed together overlooking the pool and rainforest.

Day 3

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

 

It’s easy to wake up with the sounds of the birds and the smell of the forest at El Lugar.

Before the day reaches its heat peak, we will set out early to explore the 1200 acres of land at El Lugar. You have your choice of horseback riding or a bird and nature walk with guides to point out all of the sights you are taking in.

After a shower or swim, we’ll head to the yoga deck and stretch our sweet bodies and calm our minds with James.

This afternoon, you’ll be free to read, sleep, or book a coffee-scrub massage or private energetic session with Emily or Amy or an Ayurvedic Consultation with James. At sunset today, Amy will offer energy activations with an immersive sound journey that weaves frequencies, energies, and rhythms together. These inner journeys have a powerful ability to catalyze deep healing, accelerated growth, and profound shifts in consciousness. Finally, we’ll enjoy our group dinner outside. Ahhhh…..

Day 4

UNWIND & ALIGN

 

Today is a casual day for you to rest, lay by the pool, get another massage, and just BE.

Emily will be leading 2 small group sessions - one in the late morning and one in the afternoon to facilitate and expand the gift of this embodied experience. Refine your asks and amplify your creativity in any area from relationship to business to you name it!

Morning breathwork and yoga with James will be on the yoga deck. 

Before dinner, enjoy Sunset Chakra Movement with Energy Activations & Innerdance with Amy. Inner Dance is not a physical dance. The dance happens within you. It is a Sound & Sensory Healing Journey assisting you to shift into heightened perceptions, deeper states of awareness, and awakens the innate power to heal from within.

Day 5

HOT SPRINGS & HAVING FUN

 

Today after morning yoga and some relax time, we will head to the town of La Fortuna to dip in the eco-thermal springs heated by the nearby volcano, enjoy some shopping time, and then a group dinner together at a great local restaurant.

Delicious food, company, and conversation will have us laughing, smiling and feeling grateful for these days together as we enjoy Costa Rica for our final full day together.

Day 6

IT’S NOT GOODBYE BUT SEE YOU LATER

 

Enjoy one last Costa Rican breakfast and then drive through the beautiful scenery of Costa Rica in your shuttle to the airport.

We can’t wait to hear what unfolds for you as you take the space of this retreat with you going forward into your life.
