What You'll Experience

This retreat prioritizes depth over surface-level wellness.

Each day is thoughtfully designed to create a strong foundation for healing through practices that support both the body and mind.

Throughout the week you'll experience:

• Daily yoga classes

Our open-air yoga shala overlooking the Pacific Ocean provides the perfect setting for slowing down, reconnecting, and allowing meaningful transformation to unfold.

Optional Plant Medicine Experience

Participants who feel called to explore a plant medicine experience may choose to connect with the experienced team at Shiva Shambho Retreats, an independent retreat center located in Nosara.

Ron Nikel, Paul Jarreau, and their team specialize in meditation, sound, ceremony, and personal transformation. All preparation, screening, participant assessments, ceremony facilitation, and aftercare are conducted directly by the Shiva Shambho Retreats team to determine whether participation is appropriate for each individual.

Should you choose to participate, we will gladly introduce you to their team so you can begin that conversation directly with them.

Nourishment for Body & Soul

Healing extends beyond the practices themselves.

Throughout the week you'll enjoy chef-prepared meals crafted from fresh local ingredients that nourish both body and mind. Dietary preferences and food sensitivities are thoughtfully accommodated so every guest feels supported.

• Slow down and reconnect
