retreat highlights

Each morning begins with an energizing movement practice led by Lloyd and Caitlin, designed to ground your body, awaken your energy, and set the tone for the day. From there, you’ll have the freedom to choose from a variety of optional excursions, local adventures, and nature-immersive activities. Evenings may include beach bonfires, song circles, or the opportunity to experience a restorative sound bath from local healers — all intended to help you unwind and reconnect.

Caitlin will be curating nourishing, healthy meals throughout the retreat. Each day includes two fresh meals along with unlimited fruits and coconuts, ensuring you stay hydrated, energized, and supported from the inside out.

We’ll have several large SUVs with dedicated drivers available for group transportation. Participants will need to arrange travel to Quepos. You may fly from San José to Quepos via Sansa Airlines, or choose a bus or shared taxi option depending on your travel preference.
