The yoga pavilion at the Goddess Garden in Cahuita, Costa Rica during 2012's retreat.
Costa Rica Women's Retreat with Aura : April 20 - 27th, 2013
The natural beauty along the Caribbean Coast of this country is simply stunning. Eco-conscious and unspoiled, this is vitality! From quiet spans of black sand beach to the vivid green of a rainforest teeming with life, Costa Rica infuses you with life force. Travel here is safe and friendly with a mellow vibe that encourages you to relax into your own sense of ease. I fell in love with a sweet little section of the coast eight years ago. After discovering The Goddess Garden, it is now one of my favorite places on Earth and I am so excited to share this tropical gem with you. This is the perfect setting for a week of relaxation, playful adventure and renewal.
Our week will offer plenty of opportunity for exhilarating activity from hiking to zip lining, snorkeling to yoga. One great way after another to focus on health and fitness during your vacation. There will be a lot available in this six days, but the action is tempered by ample time for relaxation as well. Massage, meditation, lounging by the pool or a little quiet time to yourself in a hammock- this retreat is designed to be made your own so that it is just what you need. The layout of the Goddess Garden provides gathering spaces as well as solo pathways and pockets for sanctuary.
It continually amazes me how fast life moves. I am realizing more and more that we need to consciously create balance and nurturing time so that we can be our best selves! Please join me in this extraordinary retreat. Let's play, breathe and rejuvenate! As always, group size will be limited. It is not to early to reserve your spot. Read on for more information and feel free to contact me with any questions...
Aura
This 7 day 8 night retreat includes:
Yoga & Meditation: Go deeper. Two daily practices will be offered, one designed to energize, one designed to relax. Your practice will blossom connecting you to an authentic sense of well-being. Includes guided meditation sessions, yoga philosophy discussion and times of silence for introspection and rejuvenation.
Activities & Adventures: Sea kayaking, beach workouts, bicycling, snorkeling and rainforest canopy touring are just a sampling of our activities. All excursions are chosen with eco-consciousness and connecting to nature in mind. Planned excursions are:
Sea & River Kayaking at the beautiful beach of Punta Uva. You will kayak in the gentle sea and then continue up the river which winds into the jungle and a paradise of birds, wild animals and flora.
Snorkeling & Cahuita National Park. This amazing day will start with a boat trip to the coral reef for snorkeling followed by a guided walk through beautiful Cahuita National Park abundant with animals.
Waterfall Hike with a knowledgeable local guide through the emerald jungle to a gorgeous waterfall where we can picnic and swim!
Rainforest Canopy Tour. An incredible way to experience the rainforest! A naturalist guide will take you zipping from one of eighteen platforms to another along 1200 meters of cable nestled high in the canopy of trees. Wow! *Alternatives to this excursion are Dolphin Watching by boat and Horseback Riding on the beach.
Massage: An exquisite massage in the beautiful healing spa tailored to your needs.
Gourmet Meals: Lovingly prepared, incredible fresh foods with local produce. Primarily vegetarian with chicken or fish added to dinners. The food carries as much life force as the rainforest does- you can feel the nutrients! It is beautiful and delicious. We can accommodate any special dietary needs easily.
Relaxation and Beach Time: The beach just outside the Goddess Garden is spectacular. It is remarkably clean and empty. There is plenty of time for relaxing in a hammock, walking the shore or lounging by the pool.
