"Mother Earth's energy is so alive in the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. It is nearly impossible not to feel grounded and inspired as Divine energy moves through the jungle, the ocean, ourselves, and our Spirit Teams, reminding us of the magic that has been within us all along."
Imagine waking up slowly to the sounds of parrots cawing and monkeys howling, with the waves of the Pacific Ocean crashing in the background. With nowhere to rush to and no pressure of a to-do list, you can actually take the time to feel the sounds and the energy of the land move through your body, mind, and soul.
Head to breakfast at your own pace, with fresh local produce in the heart of one of the seven Blue Zones in the world — places known for their unusually high number of people who live long, healthy lives due to their connection to nature, community, movement, and simple ways of living.
Then take some time to lay in a hammock or explore the gardens before preparing for a Reiki circle, gentle movement, or meditation channeled by Cass' Spirit Team to deepen your connection to the wisdom of Mother Earth & your own Spirit Team that speaks so clearly through the energy and land in Costa Rica.
Spend the rest of the day participating in spiritual workshops I have specifially designed to help you release what is no longer serving you, connect more deeply with your own Spirit Team, this Earth and your soul, and create space to hear the wisdom within you. In the late afternoons there will be plenty of time to just relax, take a walk along the beach, get a massage, float in the pool, or find a quiet place in the gardens to finally let yourself completely be at peace.
​
End the day with a nourishing, three-course meal made with locally sourced ingredients, surrounded by a community of like-minded people. As the day comes to a close, we’ll come together for gentle reflection, connection, and intention-setting for the day ahead.
This is how we will spend our days in Costa Rica. Completely unplugged, relaxed, and grounded into the Divine connection that flows through every aspect of Costa Rica.
