Step into a world of serene beauty and profound tranquility as you join Julie and Sara for a 7-night escape to the magical Osa Peninsula. Here, in one of Earth’s most vibrant and untouched regions, you will find the space to slow down, reconnect, and immerse yourself in a restorative journey of healing and self-
discovery.

An Unhurried Journey into Peace: In this sanctuary of untouched beauty, time slows and space expands. The rhythmic waves of the Pacific lull you into ease, while the jungle hums with life, inviting you to pause. Whether you’re walking barefoot along the shore, gently swaying in a hammock, or watching scarlet macaws soar overhead, every moment is an opportunity to soften, to exhale, and to simply be.

Your Haven: Nestled between the emerald rainforest and the deep blue Pacific, Nereus Retreat Center is a sanctuary for renewal. Follow your private winding path that leads you to a secluded beach, where the symphony of howler monkeys and ocean breezes welcome you home. Here, embraced by nature’s quiet rhythm, you’ll find space for deep rest, reflection, and restoration.

Included in your retreat:
Twice-Daily Yoga (90-minute sessions, accessible for all bodies): Start your day with energizing flows and unwind in the evening with restorative yin or slow flow. Each practice is thoughtfully sequenced to support healing and relaxation.
Yoga Nidra: Julie will guide you through profound sessions of Yoga Nidra, helping you access deep states of relaxation and self-awareness. This practice helps reduce stress, anxiety, and improve sleep and mental clarity.
Sound Baths: Sara’s sound bath sessions are a highlight of the retreat, using healing frequencies to deeply relax and rejuvenate your body and mind.
Daily Dharma Talks: The Panchamaya Kosha System Journey through the five energetic sheaths that shape our being. Each day, deepen your understanding and practice as we unfold this ancient wisdom, guiding you toward greater harmony and self-awareness.
Corcovado National Park: Corcovado National Park is a wild, untamed paradise—home to 2.5% of the world’s biodiversity, where scarlet macaws soar, howler monkeys call through the jungle, and tapirs and anteaters roam freely. Dubbed the most biologically intense place on Earth, it’s a rare chance to step into nature’s raw, breathtaking power. Trek through lush rainforest, spot exotic wildlife at every turn, and experience one of the last truly wild places on the planet!
Three Nourishing Meals Daily: The heart of this retreat is nourishment— not just for the body, but for the spirit. With every meal thoughtfully prepared using fresh, seasonal ingredients, you will savor the bounty of Costa Rica. Ayurvedic-inspired dishes will support your yoga practice and promote holistic wellness, leaving you feeling vibrant and whole.
Food as Medicine Workshop: Join Jen Millar, Functional Medicine Expert and Ayurvedic Practitioner, to learn how diet is integral to supporting health, preventing disease, and nurturing your body. You’ll gain insights into how to incorporate vibrant, nutrient-rich foods into your life, along with a cooking demonstration and simple, flavorful recipes to bring home.
Onsite Amenities: Relax by the saltwater pool, take a stroll on our private pathway that leads you through the jungle, onto the beach, and soak in breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.

Join us for this wildly transformative experience, where the beauty of the Osa Peninsula, the stillness of your practice, and the nourishing energy of nature come together to offer you an opportunity to rest, restore, and return to your truest self.
