Where:

Hosted by Emily Gionis & Hayley Molina, this beautiful villa is located in a very quiet neighbourhood on 1.5 acres of jungle land, immersed in the rainforest, 20 minutes to the pacific coastal beaches of Dominical in a beautiful small town called Platanillo. Platanillo is 3 hours from San Jose airport.

We have our own mini hike on the grounds down to our forest canopy (all year round) with a fresh water river with breathtaking rock pools.  It is quiet with a mix of locals and foreign friendly neighbours.  The local supermarket, police, church & medical clinic are 10 minutes walk away, with an incredible plant based, health food store/cafe and a few other stores for everyday goods. 

When:

~ November 28-December 5, 2025. Retreat starts around 3pm on the 28th and this first day includes dinner and an opening circle. Check out is at 12pm on the 5th and this last day includes a morning practice and breakfast.

Logistics:

You will need to book your own flight to Costa Rica, and the best airport to fly into is San Jose - your flight is not included in the retreat price. We highly recommend arriving the day before and spending a day in San Jose to ensure you arrive on time for the retreat. We recommend you book a shuttle from the airport for $75 USD, that is a very comfortable, safe ride to the town of Dominical. The website to book through is:

From the town of Dominical, you can very easily take a taxi directly to the villa for $40 USD. Once the retreat is booked, we can give you the villa’s exact location/address

This retreat holds up to 9 people max, so you will enjoy the beauty of a small, intimate group size, with plenty of space to share.
