“Afraid Your Life Will Never Truly Change?
This 10-Day Costa Rica Retreat Delivers the Transformation You’ve Been Secretly Waiting For.”
The Call to Adventure
You feel it in your bones – a whisper in the chaos of modern life. Late nights under fluorescent screens and early mornings chasing deadlines have left your spirit drained. Burnout weighs heavy on your heart, and a quiet voice inside aches for something more. This is your Call to find your inner essence – an invitation to break free from the numbing routine and step into the unknown. Will you heed the call and embark on a journey to rediscover the essence of who you truly are?
Journey Into The Wild
Your journey begins in the bustle of San José, where you leave the ordinary world behind. From there, you venture south to the secluded shores of Drake Bay, a paradise where emerald rainforest meets the vast Pacific. Picture yourself traveling by small plane and boat to reach the remote Osa Peninsula – one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Here, in the mystic Corcovado region, civilization fades away. Towering ancient trees, the roar of distant howler monkeys at dawn, and sunsets painting the ocean gold signal your crossing into a new world. Each step into this wild sanctuary is a step further from the noise of modern life and closer to the raw truth of nature. In the heart of the jungle, beneath a canopy alive with whispers of life, you will awaken your senses and open your soul to the wild.
Sacred Guides on Your Path
“You will not walk this path alone. Along the way, you’ll be held by those who’ve walked these trails before—guides, healers, and guardians who live this land and its wisdom. Their presence is your anchor, their insight your mirror.”
No protagonist walks alone. David Villanueva – renowned explorer and spiritual guide – leads this quest alongside a circle of wise ritual facilitators, survival experts, and mysterious mentors. These guides are your Gandalf, your Obi-Wan, your wise elders on this journey. They have walked these trails for decades and carry the ancient wisdom of the land. Around the campfire, they share stories of indigenous lore and ancestral knowledge, igniting sparks of insight in your heart. With David’s expertise in wilderness safety and the healing facilitators’ deep spiritual insight, you are held in a sacred, safe space throughout your adventure. Every question you carry, every fear that surfaces, is met with understanding and authenticity. Under their guidance, safety is paramount – both physical and emotional. You can surrender to the experience, knowing skilled hands and loving hearts keep watch over your journey.
Trials, Release, and Transformation
“Transformation doesn’t come through comfort—it emerges from the ashes of release. You will walk barefoot into your shadows, face discomfort, surrender to the jungle’s rhythm, and emerge reborn. This is not a spa vacation. This is a sacred undoing.”
Answering the call is not easy – true growth never is. In the cradle of the rainforest, you will face challenges that test and liberate you, much like the trials of every epic spiritual seeker. By day, trek through dense jungle paths and let the symphony of wildlife push you beyond your comfort zone. By night, gather in ancient ceremony as the jungle transforms into a cathedral of starlight and drumbeats.

The Ordeal and Revelation
“There comes a moment when the jungle no longer hides your shadows—but reflects them. In the heat, the silence, the rituals… your illusions crack. This is the threshold. Past this, there is no returning to who you were. Here, truth reveals itself—not in words, but in sensation. It’s not easy… but it’s real. And once it arrives, it stays.”
Every hero’s journey has an ordeal – a moment of surrender before the breakthrough. Perhaps one moonless night, you sit in a sacred ceremony with the group, heart pounding yet strangely calm. The air is thick with anticipation and the earthy fragrance of incense. A ceremony leader’s chant begins softly, echoing like a heartbeat through the trees. You close your eyes and delve into the depths of your inner world. Visions, emotions, long-silenced truths rise up within you. This is the dark night of the soul – a journey inward where you confront both your demons and your divinity. But you are not alone in this darkness; the loving presence of our guides and the protection of the jungle cradle you. In this intense five-hour rite, something shifts. A long-held pain is released, a profound insight dawns, or a sense of oneness washes over you. Revelation: you glimpse your true self, your Essence, shining beneath the layers of conditioning. It’s as if the rainforest itself is whispering ancient secrets to you, reminding you of the power and love that have always lived inside you.
“This is not a retreat. It’s a shedding. A remembering. A revelation.”
“Is This Journey for You?”
“This is not a retreat for everyone. And that’s exactly the point. This experience is crafted for those ready to shed illusions, meet discomfort with presence, and return home transformed.”

Around the evening fire or under a canopy of glittering stars, you’ll engage in intimate, honest dialogues about what truly matters. With gentle guidance, tears of release may flow, laughter may return, and a deep sense of connection to yourself takes root.
These trials in the wilderness are the rites of passage your soul has yearned for. Fear and doubt may surface – “Will I be safe? Can I handle this?” – but on the other side of each challenge lies freedom. Bit by bit, the jungle strips away the noise and burns off the fog of burnout. In its place, clarity emerges. This is the transformative fire of the journey: as you face the elements of nature, you also confront the hidden parts of yourself, and you release what no longer serves you.
“A Sacred Few: An Intimate Circle”
“In the hush of the Costa Rican rainforest, we keep our circle small and sacred. This is a deliberately intimate retreat – a rare gathering of kindred souls, not a crowded tour.
With a tiny group, you form deep bonds with fellow travelers, and the guides can devote themselves fully to each individual’s journey.
In this protected space, vulnerability feels less daunting. You can speak your truth, shed your tears, or dance with abandon around the fire – all witnessed by supportive hearts in a circle of trust.
Such intimacy also preserves the authenticity of the ceremonies. Healers and mentors can open ancient traditions in a way that’s personalized and respectful – something simply not possible in large crowds.”

Only six souls will be accepted for each expedition in January, February, and March 2026.
