Overview
The Spirit of Life is the art of living in the modern world while being balanced in your heart center. Find your soul purpose and know how to nourish yourself inside and out. Learn how to integrate the ancient teachings of yoga and the spiritual wisdom of Mother Earth into your daily life.

Our spiritual retreat at Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica is meant to nurture your body, your heart and your Soul. Find your way back home to your inner wisdom through daily practices of yoga, meditation, sacred journey, soul relaxation, and immersion in elements of nature.


What is a Yoga Retreat and Why Go?
In our modern, western world, we can get caught up in the flow of society, technology, work, finances, relationships, desires, fears, constant communication, finding ourselves disconnected from that which is Sacred and from our Inner Heart Spaces. We may loose track of the Rhythms of Nature and our deeper connection to our Spiritual Path and Soul’s Purpose.
The Path of the Yoga is to help guide us back to our Inner Voice of God and flow with it. Finding space in our lives and remembering our Soul’s Purpose can refuel us, heal us, and inspire us. Taking a journey and spiritual retreat can help us step out of the mundane and back into the rhythms of our heart, and experience the wonder of our lives. This is incredible Medicine for the Soul.
We have purposefully choose Playa Flamingo in Costa Rica because when we were there in 2017 for an Astrology Conference, it inspired our Souls. There is medicine in the ocean, the beaches, in the breezes through the palm trees, in the air, with the morning sunrises, the magical sunsets, and the sweet call of jungle birds. There is a sweetness in the earth and in the people there.
We are bringing together many of the Spiritual Practices that we have cultivated and worked with over the years and offering them in simple daily sessions. We find that all paths are pointing to Being Love and finding the Inner Voice of the Heart– Yoga, Ceremony, Astrology, Shamanism, Native American Wisdom, Prayer, Meditation, Journey Work, Archetypes, Art, Bhakti, Chanting, etc..
The Spirit of Life Retreat to Costa Rica is 7-Day Spiritual Immersion from June 7-13 to reconnect to the sacred through these practices and the elements of nature. We also know that having time and space for self-exploration and relaxation is also essential to being on Retreat, and we have build in time for both 🙂
