Imagine doing that for a full 7 days, and 6 nights, with an awesome crew of like-minded ladies.
Fantasy? Nope.
I know, it sounds like something that’s SO out of reach. Lately, you’ve been up to your eyeballs in building an amazing career, being a reliable friend or confidante, and making sure that the bills get paid, the to-do’s get checked off the list, and no one is left hanging on your account.
I mean, finding the time is just the half of it.
The other half of it is… who are you going to travel with (if not your non-existent lover)? Your girlfriends are all busy with other stuff: some married, some momming, some pregnant, then the rest simply don’t have the budget that you do to book that dream vacation.
So there you are: solo, stressed, and sans travel plans.
You want to find yourself wandering through a rainforest, surfing near a black, sandy beach or bathing under a waterfall. You want to board a plane and land somewhere you’ve never been, heart thumping with anticipation. You want to meet new people who are wonderful and interesting, and full of stories to share with you.
You want to stop taking life so seriously and start spending more time enraptured in joy… gasping for air from the belly laughs. You want to dance, sing, joke, and simply enjoy the experience of being truly alive. From head to toe, you want to feel tickled by life.
You want to feel like you know your body and yourself on a deeper level, and you want to share that knowledge with like-minded ladies… those who also want to expand their consciousness with new experiences. You believe that any experience worth having is only enhanced by companions who appreciate it as much as you do.
That’s exactly why I created the SOUL-food retreat. This 6 night, 7 day getaway in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica was designed specifically for the successful lady (like YOU) who values self-care, travel, and fun, but simply doesn’t have the time or resources in her everyday life to make that happen.
Chances are, you’re living your days running from meeting to meeting or appointment to appointment, and the only time you get to breathe is when you finally make it to that long-awaited yoga class.
Well, it’s time to take a longer, deeper breath, my dear.
Are you ready to dive into the details of this heavenly trip?
I thought so.
Starting at only $2097 (depending on your room choice), here’s exactly what you’re investing in!
Vida Asana.
Vida Asana is an eco-retreat and yoga center that will make your inner-hippie happy, while still giving you all the necessary comforts of a luxury vacation. Think: sweat lodges by day, air conditioned rooms by night.
You’ll get the best of both worlds.
Where hippie meets luxury, and beach meets rainforest.
Only 1 mile away from the gorgeous beaches of Playa Hermosa, yet nestled cozily within the jungle, Vida Asana offers it all.
Say hello to your schedule for 7 days.
Here is an example of what one of your days in paradise will look like!
– We’ll begin each morning with a delicious, fresh breakfast.
– Yoga practice in the jungle, led by yours truly.
– Free time for hammocks, showers, or beach cruising.
– Yummy, healthy lunch with the group where we’ll also enjoy some fun girl talk (this is a judgment-free zone!)
– Optional group excursion such as a rainforest hike with rappelling, or horseback riding, or surfing.
– We may indulge in a Sangria dinner or tamale cooking class before dancing our cares away to Reggae night.
You’ll be relaxed, rejuvenated, and recharged day after day.
Say hello to your host for 7 days (that’s me!).
Can you even remember? If not, that’s okay.
Because you deserve it.
I’m here to help you learn how to put yourself first, while still having a thriving career, kick-ass friendships, and a big, open heart. But first, we’re going to live it up and wind it down in Costa Rica.
Are you ready to nourish your soul?
I am offering this to you for only $2097 shared occupancy and $2597 single occupancy.
Once I receive your application, I will review it and contact you via email (please make sure I have your best email address). We will then schedule a quick chat to answer any questions you may have prior to you laying down your cash.
Just the right amount of “eco.” *wink* While this retreat center is totally eco-friendly, it also offers all of the necessary comforts of a luxury vacation, such as a pool, air conditioned rooms, WiFi access, a wellness center, and (of course) hammocks.
Oh, just everything your heart could desire. Our concierge will be able to book additional excursions and services for you, at your request. While these are NOT included in the retreat price (so you’ll have to pay additional fees), here’s a sampling of some of my favorite options —
Only if you want to. Single or shared rooms are available (shared rooms are double or triple occupancy). That said, wouldn’t it be fun to make a new, awesome girlfriend?
The retreat price includes your accommodations and meals for the week PLUS transportation to and from San Jose International airport. It also includes daily yoga classes, unlimited use of beach cruisers, and 4 optional adventures:
These adventures are included in the trip price, but if you decide to opt out of attending, you may do so. The price is the same for those who attend and those who do not attend these excursions.
Beer and wine will be served with dinner. If you want to get your drink on at other times, bring some extra $$.
The price of the retreat does NOT include any airfare costs. You’ll have to fly into San Jose International airport (SJO), so I would check those flight prices from your home city. The retreat price also does not include any travel insurance, which you are required to purchase in order to attend.
Once you pay your initial deposit, the remaining balance needs to be paid by January 3, 2017. You choose whether it is completed in one or two payments. We can chat about this more deeply on our phone call.
As soon as possible, lovely lady! Space is limited, so I’d recommend applying ASAP!
Technically, no. It’s a retreat where we’ll do yoga. While there may be some talk of Chakras and essential oils, we’re not going to be focusing heavily on the spiritual side of the Yoga practice. My goal is for you to feel fully comfortable and alive in your body while we’re enjoying Costa Rica, so daily yoga will help us achieve that.
That’s totally okay. I’ll make everything easily adaptable to beginners and advanced practitioners.
You’ll need to fly into San Jose International airport (SJO). I’ll be booking a group transport from SJO to Vida Asana for 2:00 pm on March 4th, 2017. The retreat will wrap up right after breakfast on March 10, 2017, so we have plenty of time to take the shuttle back to the airport before your afternoon/evening flight on the 10th. *more info on this to come so hold off on booking your flights for now.
Any other questions, don’t hesitate to email retreats@caroldonahoe.com and ask away!
