Ahhh...

The rays of sunlight tickle your eyelashes as you gaze out onto the horizon of the ocean from one of the most beautiful beaches you’ve ever laid eyes on. Another incredible day of connection, community and clarity in incredible Costa Rica is winding down, and your heart is oh, so full.

Tell me, does any of this sound like you?

You long to discover how to prioritize yourself (without the guilt!), to rekindle your fire for life and to feel inspired, energized, again.

You feel so cloaked in the day-to-day of your kids, relationships, work, community…that you’re not really sure any more what your own identity feels like – and you’re ready to become reacquainted with your desires & dreams!

You were already secretly dreading marking another birthday and feel robbed by the pandemic of even more time, and you’re more ready than ever to fully live your life with a sense of clarity & purpose!

You feel called to liberate yourself from the messes and excess that have accumulated over the years that are leaving you feeling weighed down and distracted from experiencing a deeper, richer, more fulfilling life in this next phase of life!

Or, perhaps you know any of the following all too well?

You feel pressured to be someplace in your life other than where you are and you’re ready to fully accept yourself and the unique path you’re on, age, stage and all!

You’re aware more than ever how important your health is to you, and you’re ready to break free of the aches, pains and unhelpful habits that you feel like are slowing you down!

You’re itching for a fresh start – maybe even feeling like you’re in some kind of mid-life crisis – but you’re afraid to follow that voice that’s calling you because you fear what others might think!

You have so many things you still want to accomplish, but you feel like the sands of time are waning and question if it’s even worth pursuing!

You’re not sure who you are anymore... and you’d like to find out -- all while being supported by a group of people who can relate and who you can trust to cheer you on no matter what!

You crave to pinpoint what’s helping you - and hurting you - while creating a new way of living that deeply supports your health and longevity with ease and abundance now!

 

If you’re feeling any of this, you’re in the right place. Let me tell you more…

Sharon

I'M READY TO REIGNITE MY LIFE!

ABOUT OUR ADVENTURE

Discover Costa Rica - and yourself again! - as we see the very best this slice of paradise has to offer. Yes, you really should start packing your bags right now!

Costa Rica is a gorgeous country full of delightfully fresh food, friendly faces and diverse landscapes. The national saying is Pura Vida, which translates to “pure life” or “simple life.” This is a way of life, an attitude and emotion of happiness that embodies the people of Costa Rica. 

On this adventure, you’ll experience your pura vida exploring two highlights of the country: the famous cloud forests in Monteverde and the coveted beaches of Sámara.

We’ll begin our adventures in the lush jungles and dramatic rainforests of Monteverde.

Named “the jewel in the crown of cloud forest reserves” by National Geographic - the majestic town of Monteverde is a small community situated in the Cordillera de Tilarán mountain range.

Most known for being home to the famous Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve - a national park - the rainforest is the heart of this town. You’ll be able to see the mist rolling through the green canopy and be delighted by the symphony of sounds from the forest as you walk among one of the rarest habitats on Earth.

The town also offers tons of local flavor from food to locally made goods. You’ll stay active and immersed in adventure activities and tours amid the magical mountain views.

Surrounded by lush, green landscapes with majestic views - chances are - your heart will feel at home here. Whether you’re soaring over the canopy on a zipline or walking along the rainforest floor on one of the 13km (8 miles!) of well-kept hiking trails looking up at the tangle of vines above, you’ll be deeply happy you’ve made the journey to this sacred place.

If you love the outdoors and nature, this is one of the top spots in the world. Named #14 on "Place to Remember Before it Disappears” by Newsweek, you’ll be thrilled to have a chance to experience the thrill of seeing the diverse flowers, animals and views, along with the variety of exciting activities this town has to offer.

Monteverde is about 2 ½ hours from Liberia International Airport (LIR) by car, and group transportation will be provided. Most, if not all of the roads to our destination are paved. Monteverde (which means “green mountain”) is a mountain-filled wonderland so the ride up is full of ups, downs & curved roads. The views are fantastic! 

To make our trip fun and memory-filled, we will stop so you can stretch your legs and - of course - take once in a lifetime pictures. Our driver knows the perfect places to snap at least a few photos!

"This week offered the unique experience of providing a setting to both relax and engage in introspective work. Julie did a great job organizing all the details of the retreat, taking the stress out of planning, and facilitating group discussions to bring out elements of creating our own authentic life."

After being invigorated and renewed by the pristine rainforests of memorable Monteverde, we’ll trade in mountain vibes for sun-kissed beach days as we head off to Sámara.

Known for its palm-lined main beach with light tan sand and picture-perfect scenery - Playa Sámara - you’ll be delighted by just how beautiful and tropical this fun in the sun haven is. Offering tons of local flavor from food to shopping, you’ll be immersed in beautiful Costa Rican culture with gorgeous views, relaxing activities, trendy boutique shops and unique art stores that inspire & enchant you. How wonderful!

If you like to swim & enjoy the ocean, this is the beach for you. Playa Sámara typically enjoys relatively calm water due to a coral reef just offshore. So make sure you pack your bathing suit, flip flops and snorkel gear...ahhh swimming in the refreshing ocean water!

When it’s time, it’s an easy two hour ride back to the Liberia International Airport (LIR).

Fun Under the Sun

We have a full list of activities to choose from - remember, you design your adventure so you choose which activities are right for you!

Here are a few of your adventure options:

  • Hike through mystical cloud forests on hanging bridges for spectacular mountain views

  • Creep through the rainforest and see a whole new side during the night hike

  • Become enthralled with the wildlife at the hummingbird & butterfly gardens, and witness an orchid that looks like bacon

  • End your days with breathtaking sunsets

For even MORE adventure…

  • Soar above the lush, famous rainforests on a zipline

  • Take a horseback ride through the picture-perfect mountain landscape or along the beach

  • Learn to surf along gorgeous sandy beaches of the Pacific

  • Kayak or stand-up paddleboard your way to learn to snorkel

Everything is arranged for you. All you need to do is to grab your passport and get to the airport.

I'M GRABBING MY PASSPORT!

Linda Goodno

"Saying yes to a retreat in Costa Rica, going by myself with people I didn’t know was both scary and the best decision I’ve made in a long time.  The Adventure Retreat allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, meet new friends and most importantly was the beginning of my journey to learn about myself, the way I communicate and to discover how to experience life with joy and gratitude. Julie made me feel like she was a life long friend from the very beginning. I urge anyone looking for a beautiful adventure —don’t hesitate to experience this life changing retreat!"

Where We Will Be

We'll spend 4 nights in Monteverde and 3 nights in Samara. Flying in and out of Liberia. All of the transportation is taken care of for you!

Accommodations in Monteverde

In Monteverde, we’ll stay at Hotel Atardecer for four nights.

An intimate, family-run hotel, Hotel Atardecer (atardecer is Spanish for sunset) is one of the best places in town to catch jaw-dropping views of this region.

Meticulously maintained and attended to with love by Rosita and family, you’ll feel cozy, comfortable and at ease in this home away from home. Giant hibiscus flowers and lush plants grace the hotel’s several gathering spaces and - in the spirit of Costa Rica - each room is unique.

Rooms are decorated in local textiles and feature simple furniture, all the fresh linens you need, and either a single or multiple beds.

You can expect to have your own private room, unless you sign up for the retreat with a friend or family member you’d enjoy staying together with. We understand how important it is to have some space to relax and reflect at the end of the day.

Each day, we’ll gather at 5pm to have happy hour & watch the sunset. Chances are, you’ll see the Gulf of Nicoya & the Nicoyan Peninsula in the distance. Ahhhh, so breathtaking.

And, if you want to stroll into town and take in more local sights, it’s only about a 7-minute walk.

And in Samara...

We’ll stay at Pension Playa Samara for three nights.

A lovely little spot just a two-minute walk from the beach, this funky & fun hotel is just what you need to amp up the fun!

A gathering place for residents and visitors alike, this wonderful little slice of heaven features simple and clean rooms (did we mention comfortable beds and air conditioning?) with all the basic, welcoming amenities.

Helpful and attentive staff, a relaxing open-air lounge area, on-sight hammocks and a pool with an outdoor shower to rinse your feet after a stroll on the beach make this a memorable, easygoing place to land and chill out.

Once again, you can expect to have your own private room (or shared with your travel companion.)

Given that you’ll be spending most of your time outside soaking up the warm sun & exploring the vibrant beach town, we imagine you’ll only be in your room for showering up and sleeping. This hotel is just perfect for that.

Even if you’re traveling solo, you might also notice a few potential roommates wandering around the hotel property (howler monkeys and iguanas!)

It is Costa Rica after all.

The Food!

In Monteverde, we’ll experience a variety of flavors and places to really kick off time together off right.

Enjoy a hearty (and included!) breakfast everyday at Hotel Atardecer. Imagine waking up and enjoying homemade pancakes, eggs, breads, sausages, rice and beans, fresh Costa Rican coffee and just-made juices. That’s exactly what you will experience in Monteverde. Guests rave about just how good Rosita’s home cooking is. If you’re looking for a truly local and authentic “like mom makes” breakfast, this is it.

Lunch and dinner daily will be enjoyed either at the hotel or out and about in town. The cost of dinner is included. The cost of lunch is not. Here are some of our favorite restaurants to check out:

Ensalada Del Chef at Choce Cafe

Choco Cafe

The perfect place to go for a coffee, pastry, lunch, snack, drink, hangout… This is a favorite place of the locals & has a great view.

Tree House Restaurante

An incredible place to grab a drink (with our favorite being the Tree House Mojito - the mint is blended, not muddled. It’s soooo yummy!), there’s a giant ficus tree that lives in the middle of the restaurant. The restaurant is on the 2nd & 3rd floors and the stairs wrap around the tree. They often have live music. The food is fantastic!

Soda La Amistad

A true crowd favorite conveniently located right across the street from our hotel. (A favorite of the locals too!)

Hotel Belmar

A wonderful place to watch the sunset, eat a meal and enjoy happy hour, this is a hot spot in town which features organic, farm-to-table dining (the hotel has its own garden) as well as a microbrewery (beer, anyone?)

Taco Taco

Featuring really good burritos, margaritas & a nice selection of local Costa Rican beers on tap (are you hungry yet?)

A typical breakfast in Costa Rica

In Samara, we will enjoy a delicious, deluxe breakfast at the hotel each morning to start the day off right. 

Featuring Costa Rican style beans & rice called gallo pinto, farm fresh eggs, fried plantains, yogurt parfaits and the sweetest local fruit, you’ll be satisfied and nourished from the inside out.

Lunch will be enjoyed daily on your own at any one of the incredible restaurants in town.  Featuring cuisine from all over the world - from Italian dishes to fresh salads to Middle Eastern staples - whatever you’re craving, you’ll be sure to find it just a short distance from our hotel. Our personal favorite - the Natural Center - is right off the beach and has many delicious options to choose from, including fresh organic juices & vegan ice cream (yum!)

In case you desire a snack in between lunch and dinner, no worries - we have you covered. Light snacks will be available at the hotel each afternoon for your convenience.

Dinner is included each night during your stay (ahhh how wonderful!) The location for dinners will vary, as we will mix it up with restaurants in the area. By the end of our time together, you'll have experienced an array of tastes, flavors & cuisines. 

Variety really is the spice of life!

And speaking of spicy, the food in Costa Rica tends to be very flavorful, but also very mild when it comes to spiciness. Hot sauce and the flavorful Costa Rican sauce Salsa Lizano are typically available on every table. To balance it all out, fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables are plentiful and oh so tasty.

And of course, if you have ANY dietary restrictions, we got you. Just let us know, and we’ll make sure your needs are taken care of (no worries, anywhere!)

Michael Ruiz

​"By the time the trip was over, I came back not only rejuvenated, but having a different perspective on my life, motivation, and direction I wanted my life to go. If the retreat taught me anything, it’s that understanding you, who you want to be, and where you want to go in life is freedom. It’s an experience I’ll never forget, and recommend it to anyone who not only feels lost, but also wants to improve themselves."
