EMBODI: Costa Rica

Overview

Set along the vibrant coastline of Tamarindo, EMBODI: Costa Rica invites you to slow down and return to presence. Movement, adventure, and connection shape each day, blending intentional practices with time to explore, laugh, and fully enjoy the moment. Strength and stillness exist alongside play and spontaneity. Whether surfing the shoreline, swimming beneath waterfalls, or dancing under the evening sky, this experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body, and the lighter, more expansive version of yourself that emerges when there is space to breathe.

The meals provided were a food lover’s dream. Being a person with a food intolerance, I was able to eat 95% of the food and expand my taste buds. There was variety, several options at each meal and beautiful presentation.

I can’t fully put into words how incredible this trip and experience were for me. I felt like I met and connected with so many and really had a chance to focus on myself after years and years. The workouts were kick ass, the island and villa were breathtaking but above all the community you guys created was next level and by far the best part of the trip. I can’t imagine going forward without this as an annual trip!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

This was an experience that I’ll never forget. I cannot possibly list all of the aspects of the retreat that I enjoyed. I look back at my photos with gratitude that I was able to experience this memorable time with a special group of people. Thank you Retreat Experience for nourishment of the mind, body and soul.
