Join us on a journey to our beloved retreat spot, the Guanacaste Peninsula in Costa Rica. We are revisiting the renowned Blue Spirit retreat center for the 11th time, drawn by its charm. Nestled in a Blue Zone, it offers an unparalleled escape from the hustle and bustle, allowing you to rejuvenate for a week. Enjoy two daily yoga sessions, meditation, breathwork, journaling prompts, and engaging conversations, all while basking in the beauty of the Pacific Ocean. Located in a nature reserve with a private beach, this sanctuary is perfect for healing. Indulge in three daily gourmet meals, primarily vegetarian, with some fish options. If you want to take a break from the ocean, you can unwind in a saltwater pool.

Situated close to the lively surfing hub of Playa Guiones, there's plenty of time to escape and immerse in the local scene.

Plan your arrival by plane via Liberia (LIR) or San Jose (SJO), CR, with Liberia being the nearest airport to Blue Spirit. Blue Spirit staff will coordinate with you to arrange a shared shuttle ride from the airport to the retreat center. Arrive anytime after 3 PM on the 31st to share in a delightful dinner and embark on our program together. Check-out is by 10 AM on the 7th. Consider the 31st and 7th as travel days. Program activities will not happen on those days except we will have an AM meditation and practice on the 7th for those who can attend.
