Step into a sacred, heart-opening journey in the lush beauty of Costa Rica, where you will reconnect with your energy, raise your vibration, and awaken to the divine connection that exists within and all around you.

This immersive retreat blends powerful yet gentle healing experiences designed to restore balance, deepen awareness, and open you to higher levels of love, peace, and guidance. Through sound healing with tuning forks and the OM bell, chakra alignment practices, and energy movement techniques such as chi gong, you will begin to feel your natural flow of energy awaken and harmonize.

You will also experience the transformative power of holotropic breathwork, allowing you to release what no longer serves and access deeper states of awareness and healing. You will also have the option to enjoy a guided waterfall walk and soothing time in the hot pools, offering moments to connect with nature, relax deeply, and renew your energy.

As your vibration rises, your intuitive awareness naturally expands. In our angel and spirit connection session, you will learn how to recognize “without a doubt” signs from loved ones and angels, understand how they communicate, and participate in partner exercises to practice receiving meaningful, heart-centered messages.

You will also explore teachings inspired by A Course in Miracles, helping you develop a peaceful, grounded perspective through every circumstance while integrating both intuition and discernment.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll be supported by a beautiful flow of experiences including sound healing sessions, drumming and song circles, sacred fire ceremony, energy practices, and joyful celebration.

Surrounded by like-hearted souls, nourishing plant-based meals, and the serene beauty of Verdesana, you will have space to relax, reflect, and reconnect.

Come as you are… and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply aligned—connected to your energy, to the divine, and to the love that is always guiding you.

Verdesana: your home in the cloud forest

Immerse yourself in a dream realized at 6000 feet, where the majestic mountains and enchanting rivers of the cloud forest unite. This unique retreat, nestled in Palo Verde, El Guarco de Cartago, is a mere 75-minute drive from SJO airport, with luxury SUVs and drivers awaiting to transport you to a world of magic.

At the heart of this 100-acre paradise, a visionary's dream has flourished into reality. Over fifty years ago, amidst skepticism, tens of thousands of pine and cedar trees were lovingly planted. These trees have matured into a lush, regenerated forest, from which the wood for our world-class resort was sourced. This commitment to nature and legacy has created an atmosphere so warm and inviting, it feels like coming home.

Our resort boasts 16 exquisite rooms and cabins, each offering a unique and intimate experience with nature. Most guests enjoy the luxury of a private room, where the essence of the cloud forest meets mountain tranquility, cradled by the nurturing flow of the river.

Explore our diverse gardens, private river access with charming bridges, and cozy bonfire spots. Marvel at over 20 species of hummingbirds and an array of wildlife including coatis, agoutis, deer, wild pigs, and kinkajous.

Beyond the comfort of the resort, adventure beckons with miles of hiking paths. Guided tours lead you through the forest and mountains to discover two breathtaking waterfalls. This is more than a stay; it's an encounter with the heart of Mother Earth, offering a retreat into nature's embrace like no other.

It offers an environment ideal for breakout sessions, dining, dancing, deepening connections, relaxation, or individual meditation and rejuvenation. The memories of this awe-inspiring place will linger in your heart long after you depart.

Testimonials

"To say we were blown away is to put it lightly! It is so hard to put into words the feeling that we all had when we were with her, communicating with our dad/husband, but it was a sense of pure peace and bliss..."

- Serena Dyer,
Daughter of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

"What can I say to you to thank you from the bottom of my socks to the depths of my soul? I am a mom of a beautiful boy who has left us all, who cannot come to grips with the simple fact I will never see him walk in my back door ever again, swinging his keys, telling me where he has been, or where he is going, or bringing his laundry home, or just giving me a hug good bye or hello."

- Tish J.

"Doctors always medicated me so much, and stated this will get you by.. Your medicine of love was the best of all. May GOD BLESS YOU and your family.."
