Reconnect, Restore, and Revitalize

Join us for a private retreat designed specifically for therapists in the serene surroundings of the Casas Kismet Boutique Retreat Center in Nosara, Costa Rica. It is a 10-minute walk to the beach and a 2.5-hour drive from Liberia airport.

Why This Retreat?

As EMDR therapists, we recognize the importance of connecting with our body and soul to unlock our innate capacity for healing. However, our commitment to caring for others often leaves little time for self-care, resulting in disconnection from ourselves.

This retreat offers the opportunity to reconnect with yourself, cultivate holistic self-care, and rediscover your vitality.

Our Accommodations

We will be staying at Casas Kismet, a beautiful retreat center nestled on a quiet ridge in the renowned surf and wellness haven of Nosara. This location offers a wonderfully private and intimate setting, perfect for our small group. The center provides comfortable accommodations ensuring a restful stay for each participant.
