A deeply restorative retreat designed to bring the nervous system out of overdrive and back into calm, supported by somatic healing, nature, and nourishing food in the Costa Rican jungle by the sea.
Your body already knows how to rest — this experience is here to help it remember.
Created to support nervous system regulation, this retreat weaves together somatic practices, slower pacing, time in nature, whole-food nourishment, and the easy rhythm of Costa Rica. Far from pressure and constant stimulation, the body is given space to soften, settle, and return to its natural state of ease.
Guests may join as an individual, as a couple, or with a small private group. The experience lasts four nights and is fully held and all-inclusive.
By listening closely to what lives in the body, we create space for transformation. This is not only about releasing old patterns and stored pain, but also about restoring a felt sense of safety so the nervous system can regulate and life can be received more fully.
A supportive cocoon is created for this process, honoring the body’s needs, emotional landscape, and inner voice. The journey is shaped with care so you can emerge feeling more empowered, more aware, and more свобод? no. Let's correct. more free.
Each day begins with somatic practices, including breathwork ceremonies, guided meditation, Taoist abdominal massage, and Kriya Yoga, helping the body open to greater flow and vitality.
Daily meals are prepared with love and care, offering fresh, abundant flavors grown in Costa Rica’s rich soil.
The afternoon program blends specialized modalities such as life coaching, Watsu flow therapy, and Qi flow movement, along with teachings and practices in nervous system calibration, biohacking, Tantric living, and authentic relating.
Guests are also invited to explore the lush beauty of Costa Rica, including pristine waterfalls and the ocean, just ten minutes from the sanctuary.
This retreat is customized to your intentions and needs.
A focused journey into deep healing through breathwork, yogic therapies, chi release massage, meditation practices, nature immersion, and optional natural medicines. This path is for those ready to meet what the body has been holding.
A more movement-based reset with surf lessons in warm Pacific waters, waterfall hikes, and time immersed in ocean and jungle. The body often relaxes most when it is invited to play.
A balanced blend of both approaches: mornings devoted to somatic healing and afternoons spent in the waves or beneath a waterfall. The pace is designed around release and renewal.

"I came to this retreat to focus on reducing my anxiety after experiencing burnout from my job. With the support of somatic practices, breathwork, and the nurturing environment, I was able to significantly reduce my medication — under medical guidance — and now feel I may no longer need it.
Michael and Astara were incredibly attuned to my needs. They intuitively knew what would support my nervous system and offered gentle, effective healing options like Chi Nei Tsang that felt safe and nourishing throughout the process.
I left the retreat feeling calmer, more grounded, and at peace. The accommodations were beautiful, peaceful, and truly held me in a way that made deep healing possible. I'm so grateful."

"After this retreat, I feel somehow lighter. Weight has been lifted from my body, mind and soul. Blockages that must have been with me for decades are cleared. I feel like I could spend years with healers and therapists and never get these results."
