This is your invitation to radically recalibrate body, mind and spirit. Join us under the first new moon of a new year to experience freedom while creating an intentional future. Together we’ll step out of past patterns and into a new rhythm, whether that’s the rhythm of sacred music, or the quiet circadian cycle that begins as you awake each day to the sounds of the jungle.

You’ll find yourself not only guided through approachable daily yoga, but also immersed in sacred sound. Kirtan music is known to lift spirits, transcend the limitations of the mind, and foster a sense of community and connection with the divine..  

Each morning after sunrise, we’ll share movement themes to help you connect to the elements without and within. Evenings offer sacred sound, or deep rest yoga nidra. Nidra means “sleep,” and this exercise in stillness is a practice for the subconscious mind that not only balances the nervous system, but also supports gentle psychological change. 

Nereus Owner and Nutritionist Jen Millar takes your well-being to the next level with a nutrition reset. She curates cuisine that is nutrition-dense, delicious and suitable for any dietary request. Her educational workshop and Q&A is a highlight that guides many closer to living the pure life Costa Rica is known for worldwide. Add optional adventures in and around Corcovado National Park, and within a week you will have found your Pura Vida – a state of mind, and a philosophy that arises from embodying a simple life in harmony with nature.
