Our seven-night retreat at the Goddess Garden Eco-Resort includes:
- 3 delicious and nutritious meals per day, freshly prepared by a world-class chef
- Daily "Gentle Flow" Yoga classes and evening Restorative Yoga (optional)
- Daily meditation classes (optional)
- Two day-trips to the Cahuita National Park/Rainforest and stunning natural waterfalls
- Nightly live music and sound healing by David
- Specialized workshop classes on healthy cooking and nutrition, creative writing, and Yoga of the Voice.
- Transportation from the airport to the eco-resort and back.
Ideally, everyone in the group will fly to Costa Rica the day before (Friday) the retreat begins and stay Friday night at the Hotel Aeropuerto, just three miles from the SJO airport. Our group receives a discounted rate of around $80 per night ($40/person for those who want to share a double-occupancy room) for our one-night stay at this hotel. If we all are able to arrive in Costa Rica Friday evening, then I can arrange for our shuttle to picking us up from the hotel on Saturday morning at 9:00 and we'll arrive at our retreat center in Cahuita in time for our first delicious lunch. Our ride from San Jose to the Goddess Garden is approximately 3.5 hours and is a beautiful and scenic drive through the mountain rainforests. We'll be checking out of the Goddess Garden the morning of Saturday, November 18th, after an early breakfast. Please book a returning flight home that leaves SJO airport after 12:30 p.m. on the 18th, to ensure yourself enough time to arrive at the airport and get through security.
Our group shuttle trip from the airport to our retreat center (and back) is included in the cost of the retreat. If you arrive in Costa Rica later than the rest of the group and miss our group shuttle to the Goddess Garden the morning of 11/11, you'll have to arrange for your own transportation to the resort, which we can assist you with booking.
Other adventures, like snorkeling nearby reefs, surfing lessons, cacao farm tours, and zip-lining are also available and can be booked through the retreat organizer (David). There is a spa and wellness center at the Goddess Garden where full-body relaxation, deep tissue, and Ayurvedic massage is available.
