UNTAMED: A New Moon Recalibration

With Amanda Trevelino and Dr. Paras Moghtader

January 17 – 24, 2026

The first new moon of the new year is one of the most potent and supportive times for a fresh start. And this is your call to move mindfully into 2026 under the guidance of an Ayurvedic doctor, an Ayurvedic dietitian and a yoga therapist who’s passionate about living well. Together we’ll co-create a recalibration for body, mind and spirit and reconnect to our most vibrant UNTAMED nature. We’ll step out of past patterns and into a new rhythm, awakening each day to the sounds of the jungle and a spectacular sunrise. 

We hope you’ll join us for soul-nourishment, deep rest and new friendships. This is the foundation you need for a bright and bold year ahead. Our days include:: 

• Morning Yoga + Mindful Movement
• Nutrient-dense breakfast
• An optional Discovery excursion*
• Colorful Lunch
• Self-Discovery Workshops
• Evening restful Yin Yoga or Yoga Nidra
• Locally-sourced tri-doshic dinner

Costa Rica is synonymous with Pura Vida, a state of mind, and a philosophy that arises from embodying a simple life in harmony with nature. Connect to this harmonic frequency with rebalancing on-site massage, and choices of active outings.
