Details
Day 1
Welcome to Costa Rica! Check-in, loosen up, and unwind
Your journey starts here! Arrive in San Jose and be swept away to your luxurious hotel in Manuel Antonio. Once you're settled into your hotel, get ready for some afternoon yoga with your fellow travelers before a communal dinner allowing you the chance to connect with your new companions for the week. After a day of travel and preparation for a week of awakening, now it's time to enjoy a well-deserved rest.
Day 2
Make a splash on Manuel Antonio’s beaches
Welcome to your first morning in Manuel Antonio! Embrace the day with some wake-up yoga and your first breakfast in your new hotel. Reflect on the week so far at your mid-morning circle conversation before heading out to enjoy what this scenic gem has to offer. Golden sands, palm trees, jungle views, and Pacific coolness lie waiting for you today in your new destination. Make sure to soak up the atmosphere and sun before your afternoon meditation session and your evening meal. Maybe today's the day to go surfing and catch some waves — there are so many options! You don't want to miss a Manuel Antonio sunset either — the perfect conclusion to a beautiful day in paradise.
Day 3
Another chance to relax on Manuel Antonio’s beautiful sands
Your final full day in Manuel Antonio is upon you, and what better way to start it than meditating on your week of discovery? Feast on a healthy breakfast before getting ready to go your own way and spend one final day in the sand. Now's your chance to enjoy some sun, sea, and serenity. Enjoy your time hiking the trails, on Manuel Antonio's beaches, or relaxing around your pool — you've earned it. The sun may be setting on your trip, but not before you get to experience one more Costa Rican sunset. Come together for a dinnertime hurrah with your companions and celebrate the week with a beach bonfire. Then it's time to wind down for the evening and prepare for tomorrow's travels.
Day 4
Welcome to Costa Rica! Check-in, loosen up, and unwind
It's time to say goodbye to Manuel Antonio and greet an entirely new location! After a morning with meditation, yoga, and breakfast, you'll transfer to your new hotel situated in the majestic shadow of the Arenal Volcano, the perfect place to get closer to the inner light. Situated at the foot of the volcano is the postcard town of La Fortuna — somewhere you’ll become familiar with in the coming days. After checking into your hotel, some yoga and a community dinner will help welcome you to this incredible location. We'll see you in the morning!
Day 5
Time for some yoga — don’t forget to stretch!
Seize the day and stretch into a morning of meditation, mindfulness, and magnificence. Clear your mind with yoga before a hearty breakfast sets you up for the rest of the day. Communication and connection are key to unlocking a mid-morning group conversation circle, and then the afternoon is all yours. Take in your surroundings and relax in your that's lounging by the pool, basking in the beauty of the volcano, exploring the tourist town of La Fortuna, or uncovering the secrets of the rainforest. Reconvene for some late afternoon yoga, reflection on your day, and a group dinner. Time for bed — another day of alleviation awaits you tomorrow.
Day 6
Sightseeing, meditating, and meandering around the Arenal Volcano area
Another beautiful day in La Fortuna begins with concentration, contemplation, and breakfast. Ruminate with your fellow yogi during the morning group conversation circle, and then the day belongs to you. Like yesterday, now you can indulge in some relaxation in your own sweet time. Check out some local shops and restaurants in La Fortuna, relax your muscles in the volcanic hot springs, or embark on a taxi journey to the mystical La Fortuna waterfall and float towards inner peace. Late afternoon yoga and dinner complete your day of leisure, and then the night is yours.
Day 7
Our spiritual journey ends here — time to say goodbye to Costa Rica… for now
Finally, you’ve reached the end of your journey and hopefully uncovered some beautiful views, some new outlooks, and newfound friends. Spend one last breakfast with them before you check out, make your way back to the airport and to new horizons — wherever they may be. We hope you've had a fantastic time and we can't wait for you to join us again. Namaste!
