WHY ATTEND?
The Land & Sea
Nosara, Costa Rica is located in the heart of the Nicoya Peninsula, one of five designated “blue zones” of health and happiness, and welcoming a gentle home coming to nature and our true nature. Here, the untamed jungles, rushing waterfalls, and native wildlife harmonize with the healing ocean and a rhythmic sea breeze to create a landscape teeming with natural vitality. Imbued with the profound spirit of Mother Nature, this living sanctuary provides the essential nutrients required to deeply calm your being and dedicate time to exquisitely care for yourself.
The People and Culture: Spirit of “Pura Vida”
Rooted in connection to family, community, and the rhythms of the natural world, the Costa Rican ethos of Pura Vida—the “pure life”—is a conscious choice to prioritize simplicity, gratitude, and physiological peace over the modern day hustle. By immersing ourselves in a culture that values slowing down, community care, and environmental stewardship, we create the ideal conditions to practice loving kindness and carry the expansive wisdom of Pura Vida into our everyday lives.
Our Lodging and Meals: Casas Kismet Boutique Hotel
Experience the perfect balance of luxury and natural beauty at Casas Kismet, where ocean and mountain views meet modern day comforts. It is a serene space to rest and be inspired. Between sessions, relax by the saltwater pool or take just a short ten-minute walk to the secluded sands of Playa Pelada. We will gather in the outdoor dining area to enjoy three daily, nourishing meals prepared by the in-house chef using fresh, locally sourced ingredients—with dietary substitutions readily available upon request.
