Costa Rica>Beleef’s Creators Retreat in Costa Rica

Message from Leef:
Remember when we were creating just for fun? I do. And guess what? Being a creator navigating this business can still feel that way.

Join me, Leef, for five unforgettable nights in Costa Rica, where adventure, creativity, and connection come together in a tropical paradise. Indulge in delicious food and drinks as we dive into a series of creative workshops designed to recharge your inspiration and connect you with like-minded creators.

Immerse yourself in a private tour of Manuel Antonio National Park, where we’ll explore how to document your journey through fresh perspectives. Roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking class, crafting a local dish while discovering the art of storytelling. Let the beauty of the tropics spark new ideas and unlock a fresh way of thinking about your work—and your life.

As a creator and entrepreneur, I share a unique perspective on this industry. For over a decade, I’ve navigated the challenges of building a creative business that spans from New Jersey to Los Angeles and beyond.

One thing remains the same, no matter where you go: success comes from connection, consistency, adaptability, and a belief in your vision.

With breakfasts and transportation taken care of, the only thing you need to focus on is having the time of your life.
