Our FINDING YOUR BLISS Retreat is a 7-day journey to uncover and discover your most healing and inspiring layer of self –

BLISS

Bliss is that place of untroubled joy that exists deep within us all. It’s the energetic layer that this often messy and serious world has covered up.

Bliss is full of unconditional love, residing within us all and it’s waiting for you!

Join us as we journey to the beautiful mountains of Costa Rica, high above the central valley on a retreat to reshape, realign and rebalance your nervous system, Pura Vida style!

This Costa Rican phrase ‘Pura Vida’ isn’t just a motto – it’s a conscious way of living. Simply translated as ‘pure life’ it embodies a sense of flow, which is why Costa Rica has been named one of the happiest countries in the world This empowering state is what feeds our soul needs - our need for Love, Community, Purpose, Wellness and Safety.

It awakens meaning, it beams compassion and thrives on the discovery of unshakeable peace and faith … faith that we already have all that we need to live our lives to their fullest potential.
When you say Yes to Finding Your Bliss, you are saying Yes to so much more.

We believe Bliss is multi layered and over this transformational 7 day retreat we will peal through the various Bliss states using Movement, Breathe & Sound – which are the foundational elements we teach to shifting energy and mindset.

Wouldn’t you like to be freed from outdated stories, transferred believes and self-sabotage ways and to also learn new ways and tools to support your BlissFULL life moving forward.

We are journeying to the beautiful mountains of Costa Rica, high above the Central Valley, to combine the Pura Vida Lifestyle with the tools of healing.

Our intention is to create a very special retreat that will bring deeper teachings of Sound Healing, Yoga Nidra, Movement and Intention. Combining these beautiful practices in this magical place that enhance the discovery of the Bliss we carry within.
​We are thrilled to bring Our program to the beautiful Retreat Center that itself is called Pura Vida Retreat & Spa. We are delighted to invite you to join Us on this amazing 7-Day Retreat, centered around Harmony, Vibration, Intention and Bliss...Pura Vida = Finding JOY in Life.

Through the learning of the instruments we use, varieties of Sound Bath, Yoga Nidra, Somatic Movement, Vibrational Healing, Meditation an dmore, we will practice reaching that Bliss space over and over again.

As we state in our trainings...
"WHAT YOU PRACTICE GROWS STRONGER"
We will be practicing Bliss and it will GROW STRONGER>

We have created an experience that is designed to connect YOU to the Harmony of life. Harmony exists when we let go of the
"busy-ness", the labels and the expectations of how things should be and open our minds to how things are. Harmony and BLISS are what this retreat is all about.

As we open our Minds and relax our Bodies, we begin to meet ourselves right where we are...in our heart space. Our teachers and facilitators will meet you where you are - as we offer our events, workshops, excursions, gatherings and celebrations from which you can attend as few or as many as you would like.
