COSTA RICA CREATIVE RETREAT
April 29 - May 5 2023
Join us for a magical retreat in enchanting Costa Rica at the Encantada Ocean Cottages, a cozy beach hideaway with only seven cottages surrounded by lush jungles, warm breezes, and steps away from the pristine beaches of the pacific ocean. Giving yourself the space and time to be creative allows you to unleash your inner artist. We'll let Costa Rica's energy gently guide our creative pace. I will be hosting daily workshops to cultivate creativity and the opportunity to indulge in daily yoga (if desired). Spend your free time relaxing on the uncrowded beaches soaking up the sun, napping in hammocks, surfing, boogie boarding, walking the beach, hiking, and discovering the wonders of this tropical paradise. Peaceful Esterillos Este is in a small Costa Rican town located about 20 minutes south of the bustle of Jaco and 90 minutes from the airport.
Come back to yourself and design a more creative lifestyle.
