Join Your Spiritual Family for a Healing Retreat
Dates: March 8-14, 2026
Location: Living Forest Retreat Center in Costa Rica
Clear What Contracts You & Let the Light Fully in.
Nestled in the heart of Costa Rica’s lush tropical forest, near Lake Arenal, Living Forest Retreat Center is a healing haven with the most magnificent jungle chorus lulling you to sleep at night. The place is run by my friend and fellow Scandinavian, Johanna. It’s a cozy, tucked away retreat center in a luscious jungle valley with an idyllic, swimmable creek running through it.
We will escape the cold of the north in March and come together in this ideal climate cool enough that we don’t need AC but warm enough that we will nourished by the sun and the tropical air, fresh grown, local foods prepared with healthy fats (olive oil and ghee).
We are coming together to deeply unwind, breathe and reset our nervous systems. It’s a place for spiritual renewal; enjoying daily yogic practices (Soma, Hatha, Breathwork and Therapeutic Art) with a small group of likeminded seekers.
It’s a small, nature centered retreat center for a family style gathering limited to 12 participants. The rooms are cozy shared accommodations (check the pictures). The beds can be pushed together for shared sleep or split into twins. You will share a room and bathroom with another female roomie.
What to Expect:
Daily Soma Yoga and Meditation
Gentle, embodied practices on a covered deck overlooking the jungle. We begin the day with sun salutations and meditation to the sounds of the creek and close with Yoga Nidra accompanied by the magical forest choir each night.
Healing Breathwork and Energy Clearing
Reconnect with your body’s wisdom and release held patterns and emotional residue.
Therapeutic Art and Sacred Journaling
Set a new vision for your life, gently shedding old stories as you tap into inner clarity. The art exercises is not about ‘being an artist’ but about exploring new ways of accessing healing and visioning. The exercises are guided and designed to quiet the inner critic; even if you have not touched a color pencil for decades, you will have fun with these sessions. Promise.
Group Circles and Reflective Practices
Come together in truth and warmth to connect, witness, be witnessed, and heal.
Free Time to Rest and Just Be
There’s space to sleep in, nap, journal, take a sauna, walk barefoot, or swing in a hammock. This is your time to soften.
A Day at the Hot Springs
We’ll soak in Costa Rica’s healing waters and melt away what’s no longer needed.
Our Retreat Home:
This super peaceful, family-run retreat space is set deep in nature, featuring a traditional Finnish sauna and the cool creek that flows through the land—perfect for refreshing dips between sauna sessions.
Our hosts will prepare nourishing, beautiful meals, and the shared kitchen is open to you between meals, with fridge space for any personal snacks or favorites. This is a community-style retreat where we share time, space, and connection like a spiritual family.

6 nights of shared accommodation
