El Verde Pacifico Retreats
Culinary
Nourish your body and awaken your creativity with an unforgettable culinary experience centered on fresh, organic, locally sourced ingredients. Harvest dozens of tropical fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown right here at El Verde Pacifico, then join our talented local chef in preparing authentic Costa Rican favorites alongside imaginative gourmet creations, including delicious vegan dishes inspired by familiar comfort foods. More than just a meal, this is an interactive cooking experience where you'll learn traditional techniques, discover the nutritional benefits of fresh whole foods, and enjoy the incredible flavors of Costa Rica.
Re-wilding Eco Fitness
Escape the big city workout and rediscover the way the human body was designed to move with our expert coaches specializing in re-wilding fitness sessions. Through animal movements and functional outdoor training, you'll run scenic mountain trails, climb trees, swim in the Pacific Ocean, lift coconuts and smooth river rocks, and perform push-ups on giant boulders beneath a cascading waterfall. Every workout is designed to reconnect you with nature, build real-world strength, improve mobility and endurance, and leave you feeling energized by the incredible landscapes of Costa Rica.
Spiritual
Reconnect with yourself & your higher power in the tranquility of seven acres of mountain rainforest overlooking sweeping ocean views. Hike to the waterfall or swim our peaceful lagoon while monkeys, toucans, & butterflies dance amongst the leaves. Lush well-maintained gardens, with hundreds of fruit trees and flowering plants create an inspiring sanctuary for reflection and renewal... a setting that naturally encourages mindfulness, prayer, meditation, and personal growth. We welcome guests of all faiths and spiritual traditions, and for those who wish to attend worship services, Costa Rica is home to many welcoming local churches, with the church continuing to serve as a central gathering place.
Yoga
At El Verde Pacifico, we design our yoga retreats as a withdrawal from your daily routine, allowing you to "digitally detox", while building and developing your yoga skills. Our friendly & experienced instructors combine both familiar & unique asanas, breathing exercises, and meditation while emphasizing healthy eating. Just imagine yourself on a guided nature walk to a secret waterfall where you'll practice new methods of "animal movement" on a rock outcropping in complete privacy before a swim in the lagoon...
Couples & Family Counseling
Our California licensed family therapist specializes in improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships in a peaceful setting. She has used her skills to rescue countless relationships, whether it be between your romantic partner, or with one or more of your family members. Learn new methods to open up and feel heard by those you love most while also taking time in between sessions to have fun at the resort and enjoy daily guided & self-guided adventures in the South Pacific region of Costa Rica.
