SUMMARY:Epic Costa Rica Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join Retreat Leader Daniel Stewart for this life changing adventure to the heart and soul of Costa Rica launching at the award-winning Rios Lodge. We begin our journey with a deep dive into the beauty and splendor of Costa Rica’s tropical rainforest\, nestled on the banks of the tropical Pacuare River\, at the award winning Rios Lodge Eco Sanctuary in Limon Provence\, Costa Rica. \nThis is a rare opportunity to see sustainable reforestation and eco environmentalism at work in the heart of the rainforest\, a reminder of our human responsibility as shepherds to hold the earth and ourselves as sacred. Our patronage at Rios Lodge supports this incredible work and offers insight into conservation in the region. Here we’ll wake to the sound of the majestic Pacuare River\, enjoy waterfall hikes\, Cacao Ceremony\, Nature canopy exploration\, river swims and tubing\, zip line\, Kirtan\, daily Yoga\, meditation\, journaling\, Self inquiry\, delicious chef prepared meals. Time for deep relaxation\, play\, laughter\, and joy in the company of like minded companions. To register\, please visit epiccostaricaretreat.com. \nFrom the Retreat Leader: “Retreats are essential for our wellbeing and self care. When we make time for ourselves this way\, we’re not only retreating from the fast pace and distractions of our modern lives\, we are returning. Returning to our deeper selves\, to a slower\, more peaceful rhythm\, to our authentic connection with source\, and to the natural world around us. This is so rare in these days and times – to have the time\, space and privilege for a pilgrimage of the heart for contemplation and redirection. \nIn Costa Rica\, we’ll strip away layers that keep us from knowing ourselves fully. We’ll have space to play and to listen to our heart’s intelligence\, to hear the quiet voice of our Soul. We’ll make time to feel and express our vital\, most authentic\, creative\, wild aliveness. It is truly extraordinary to do all this in the company of like-minded souls.” \n* * There is an opportunity to continue on to Nosara March 3-7\, 2025 for the full retreat adventure! More details at epiccostaricaretreat.com. * * \n“And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?” — Rumi \nMeet Your Retreat Leader:\nDaniel Stewart is a beloved yoga and meditation teacher\, cofounder of Rising Lotus Yoga in Sherman Oaks\, and a Jungian based\, depth psychotherapist. He developed and leads the Yoga philosophy & psychology module of the RLY teacher training\, and he shares his love of music as a healing and transformational experience through the art and practice of ecstatic Kirtan. Daniel is dedicated to ongoing study of the practice of awakening\, fully and playfully\, to wholeness in each moment. He believes that all spiritual and psychological practices — Eastern and Western — lead to this truth: We are most fully alive when we discover and align with what is authentic in our Selves and express that essence passionately and creatively. In his dynamic classes\, workshops\, and retreats\, Daniel weaves together music\, Eastern philosophy\, depth psychology\, poetry\, and laughter to create vibrant\, healing environments. His approach allows students to quiet their minds\, release physical tension\, and rediscover a deep sense of well-being\, happiness\, and joy.
