Retreat Interest Survey
Heal What Hurts
in Costa Rica
Proposed dates: April 3–9, 2027
AmaTierra Retreat & Wellness Center
Seven days. Six nights. Space to move, breathe, rest, and meet yourself with loving presence.
I may have the opportunity to bring a small group to beautiful AmaTierra in Costa Rica. I know this invitation is coming a little later than I had hoped, so I’m checking whether we can gather at least ten people before confirming the retreat.
A nourishing rhythm of practice and rest
Invigorating mornings
Begin the day with active, alignment-focused Hatha Yoga, adapted to our group. Explore mindful movement, strength, and breath in AmaTierra’s open-air yoga studio.
Restorative afternoons
Settle into a longer workshop with gentle SomaYoga, breathwork, meditation, and practices from my book, Heal What Hurts. Learn to meet what arises within you with loving presence.
Between practices, enjoy time for rest, reflection, the pool, gardens, and hiking trails. Everything we need for our week of practice and connection will be right here. Excursions are optional.
Our home for the week
AmaTierra is a retreat center in Costa Rica’s rural mountains, owned by Jill and Bob Ruttenberg. Jill is a clinical herbalist. Herbal consultations, massages, and other wellness services can be booked separately during your stay.
Guest rooms have two queen beds separated by a half wall, a private bathroom, and an outdoor patio.
