MAHA WOMENS WELLNESS RETREAT


Join us for a free-spirited adventure into a secluded paradise on Earth: The Sanctuary at Two Rivers, located on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in the Costa Rican jungle. Encompassing 40 acres of lush Jurassic forest, exotic fruit orchards, and manicured tropical gardens, all surrounded by epic waterfalls. Located in one of the few blue zones in the world, we will have The Sanctuary all to ourselves to elevate our vibration and wellness.

This will be a sacred and soulful women’s gathering to reconnect and nurture our body, mind, and spirit. With a daily ritual of yoga, pranayama and meditation to allow embodiment and mindfulness, we will deepen our practice and experience the benefits of a yogic lifestyle.

We have luxurious and healing treatments built into the week. You will receive three separate treatments including acupuncture from MAHA Holistic Wellness or Medicine of the Heart, a massage by the waterfall from MAHA Holistic Wellness or Sacred Wild Healing, and a pure plant and gua sha facial from Tamanu Skincare.

Be among empowering women while participating in a cacao ceremony, waterfall wellness ritual, sound healing gong bath, Lakshmi Rising dance, acroyoga and more during our transformative time together.

Choose your own adventures such as surfing, zip-lining, boat ride, snorkeling, hiking in the nearby Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve and/or exploring the charming small town of Montezuma.

While at The Sanctuary, you will stay in shared accommodations in Japanese inspired tropical modern zen jungle lofts. This 100% off-the-grid solar powered eco-chic facility is sensitively green-designed to harmonize within the natural environment. All meals are organic, vegetarian or vegan, gluten free and catered by Gaia Gourmet Cuisine.

Invest in yourself to experience one of the best weeks of your life and return home feeling whole, renewed and with an inspiration to fully live your best, authentic life!
