COSTA RICA 25 : STEP INTO YOUR POWER!
COSTA RICA
Fall back into your soul, stepping forward into loving energies and memories, defining your new you.
Picture
…Meditating in a blissful environment and already feeling
gratitude.
You’ll become quiet here, in touch with your true self, feeling
how you want to feel, and gently sensitive to who you are and
what you want to do.
Softly, the clarity shines through, revealing your soul’s purity, appreciating and shaping your identity.
The Costa Rican beaches, surfing, waterfalls, sound baths and spiritual ceremonies along with amazing daily yoga and meditation will guide you to this new version of yourself.
From the moment you arrive in San Jose, to the moment you leave, every detail has been carefully planned so you can arrive, turn off your brain and be present for this extraordinary experience.
Rustic island accommodations, the finest vegetarian food, your airport transfers and all of your meditations, adventurous experiences and tours are included.

- If you are someone willing to step outside of the day-to-day and looking to find presence, balance, and mental clarity.
- If you are looking to deepen your yoga practice, physically through asana and spirituality through meditation. (No need to be yoga experts or meditation guru to participate).
