Your Retreat Leaders: This retreat is co-led by Erin Stevenson, founder of The Do Good Movement 500 hour certified yoga instructor. Joining her is Jenny Reilley, MA, LCPC, CCTP, a therapist at Begin Within Therapy Services specializing in women’s issues, couple’s issues, trauma, and attachment. Together they will help you achieve your next level of personal growth and improve your overall better well-being.

Yoga And More: Each day we will begin with a yoga practice led by Erin and will end the evening with a restorative/meditative practice. read the energy of the room before I teach a class to get a feel for how the class should progress. Erin’s style for teaching includes centering, breath work, slow flow vinyasa, hatha, and restorative yoga with meditation.

What makes this retreat different from most is that we have structured group discussions led by Jenny to work on your mental well-being. There will also be opportunities for intensive therapy sessions with Jenny at an additional cost. After an initial phone call, a customized plan will be developed for an issue or topic you would like to work on.

Kindness Karma Project: Additionally this retreat is like no other because we will be taking our yoga off the mat and giving back to the local community in Costa Rica by participating in The Do Good Movement’s Kindness Karma Projects. Get ready to be inspired, moved and touched by the souls, children, and animals of Costa Rica.

Plenty of time will be available for you to take leisurely walks, swim in the ocean or lodge’s pool, watch the magnificent sunsets, stargaze, learn to surf, get a massage and explore the many adventures of Costa Rica. We will provide a list of excursions such as surf lessons, ziplining, horseback riding on the beach and snorkeling. These excursions are an additional fee.
And of course, we will be experiencing the lovely estate of The Cabuya Lodge, a 5 -minute walk to Los Cedros Beach. The lodge is composed of different small “lodges” to be shared by 3-6 people. And have we mentioned the private chef? Your meals are all included in your stay at the lodge.

Transportation: Cabuya Lodge is located in the fishing village of Cabuya (de Cobano) on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in the province of Puntarenas in Costa Rica. We are only minutes away from Cabo Blanco Absolute Natural Reserve, about 20 minutes from Mal Pais and Santa Teresa and 10 minutes from Montezuma. You will book your international flight into either San Jose or Liberia international airport. We will work with you for options for transportation to Cabuya Lodge from the airport. Please note that airfare is not included and travel insurance is encouraged.
