About this trip
Reset your mind, body and soul with a week in ‘Pura Vida’ paradise!
Nourish your mind, body and soul with a week of rest, relaxation and rejuvenation immersed in the luscious jungles and serene beaches of Costa Rica.
Disconnect from the worry, stress and busy-ness of your every day life and enjoy life at a slower, more intentional pace - the "pura vida' way!
Retreat leader Cassandra Fauss has curated the week to be a space for you to slow down and (re)discover the simple beauty of DOING less and BEING more.
Through twice daily yoga and meditation classes, healthy Ayurvedic meals, connection to a like-hearted group of humans and plenty of free time to rest, restore and explore as you desire, you'll return home feeling like a whole new, more relaxed and centered you!
