From arrival to departure, logistics are thoughtfully handled so you don’t have to carry them.

Transportation to and from San José International Airport is included for all, allowing your nervous system to relax and your attention to remain on the experience itself.

Also Included in everyone’s registration is a group excursion to the beautiful La Paz Waterfall Gardens, offering a shared journey into Costa Rica’s lush landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and abundant wildlife. It is a reminder that nature itself is a teacher, one that speaks softly and
powerfully at the same time.

While daily experiences may vary dependent on your registration options, there is a common flow that gently holds everyone together, creating a sense of continuity, community, and ease.

You are free to participate fully, selectively, or you may choose to simply rest, trusting your own rhythm and needs, whilst enjoying the spa and the pool!

Example of a Retreat Day –
  • 7:00 am - 7:30am Morning Meds
  • 7:30am - 9:00am Breakfast
  • 10:00am – 12:00pm Workshop or Training Class
  • 12:30pm – 2:30pm Lunch and Free Time
  • 3:00 pm – 5:00pm Workshop or Training Class
  • 8:30pm – Evening Experience

Our Morning Meds class is our signature meditation practice, whilst other workshops invite longer immersions either as certification requirements or as transformative workshops such as Vocal Toning or Fascia Release practices.

Our evening events include, Somatic Movement, Gong Trance,
Fire Ceremonies and more

When you arrive at The Meditate Retreat: Costa Rica, you are not stepping into a program, you are stepping into a rhythm that has been intentionally created to support you from the moment you land.

Every accommodation includes a private bath and a sense of quiet sanctuary, allowing you to truly exhale and settle in.

All meals are included and are lovingly prepared from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Food here is more than sustenance, it is part of the retreat experience itself.

Served buffet-style in our inviting dining hall and featuring both North American and Costa Rican dishes to tempt your taste buds and nourish your body and soul.

Allergies and Dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice.

​Mealtimes are:
Breakfast – 7:30am-9:00am
Lunch – 12:30pm-2:30pm
Dinner – 6:30pm-8:00pm

Complimentary coffee, tea, alkaline water and filtered water are available throughout the day. ​The wine and juice bar in the dining hall stocks sulfite-free, organic wines, Costa Rican and Central American beers, and bottled water. It is also the place for fresh smoothies, custom-blended chai and organic wheat grass elixirs (made from wheat grass grown in-house).
Perhaps most profoundly, what is included in everyone’s retreat experience is something intangible yet deeply felt—a sense of belonging.

You are welcomed into a heart-centered community where presence matters more than performance, and where your pace is respected. Whether you spend your days in practice, in quiet reflection, walking the garden paths, resting by the pool, or doing nothing at all, you are met with the same care and reverence.

This retreat is built on permission. Permission to rest. Permission to receive. Permission to engage. Permission to simply be.

No matter how you choose to experience your time here, you receive the full essence of the retreat—held in nature, supported by community, and guided by intention.

There is no prior experience needed to attend. We ask you to come to our retreat with an open mind and heart, we will do the rest. Be ready to learn and experience a transformation.

the svmt method of transformation

The Level 3 Retreat is rooted in the SVMT Method of Transformation — a heart-centered teaching that begins in the body, honors vibration as the language of change, and invites mindfulness through a gentle, trance-informed perspective.

This retreat is not only about learning more techniques, but about remembering how to listen. Through embodied presence, sound, stillness, and nature, we return to the wisdom that lives beneath thought — where the body leads, resonance guides, and transformation unfolds naturally.
​

Here, sound becomes medicine, the nervous system softens, and healing arises from alignment rather than effort.

Love is the Way

If something in you has been quietly longing for a deeper yes—this is your invitation. ​Costa Rica isn’t just a destination. It’s a doorway. A place to remember what your body already knows when the noise falls away: how to breathe again, how to feel again, how to come home to what’s real.

Come sit in the sacred simplicity of nature. Come be held by rhythm, resonance, and community. Come rest, release, and return—not as a new version of you, but as the truest one.

If you feel the call, trust it. If your heart is leaning forward, follow it.

Love is the way. Truth is the path.

And we would be honored to walk it with you in Costa Rica.
