We remember the moment nearly three decades ago when a small group of us gathered at The Living Centre, stirred by an inner call that whispered the name of a little-known land, Costa Rica.

At the time, we had no idea that this place would become the fertile ground where our relationship and our life’s work would take root. That it would deepen our path. Awaken our truest voice.

We came because the land called us.
We came to listen.

More than thirty years ago, Lorenna and I followed an inner call that led us to this land. We didn’t come for a program, or an opportunity, or a plan. We came because the land called through its silence and rhythm.

We arrived with open hearts, ready to listen deeply to its ancient wisdom and begin a sacred journey of remembering.

From the beginning, Costa Rica revealed herself slowly.
Through the stillness of the rainforest.
Through the pulse of the ocean.

Through the eyes of the tree elders who welcomed us, and through the soil beneath our bare feet.

We knew we were stepping into something ancient, something alive, something that would become part of us.

This land has been a great teacher. The elements here are dynamic, intense, and bring life to everything they touch, including us:
The fire of the sun
The breath of the wind
The cleansing rains
The steady presence of the Earth
The vast spaciousness of the sky

All of it has taught us to see with new eyes, to walk with greater humility, to listen with our whole beings.

We wanted to share what we experienced with others.
Come and remember—that was the invitation.

Remember the language of the Earth.
Remember the wisdom of the body.
Remember that we are not separate from nature, but made of it.

Over the years, we have returned again and again, each time deepening our relationship with the land and with ourselves.

We’ve offered ceremonies beside waterfalls, planted seeds in rich volcanic soil, danced under the moon, and held space for people to meet the raw, unfiltered truth of who they are.

The land has met us in every season of our lives.

It has held our grief, our joy, our questions, and our quiet prayers.

It has shown us what it means to live in right relationship, with nature, with ourselves, with each other, and with the great mystery that we are all a part of.

We offer retreats in Costa Rica because the land itself is medicine.

It opens what has been closed.
It softens what has been hardened.
It calls forth the wild, the wise, and the sacred within.

This is a living part of it. It holds the same vision we do, a return to wholeness, to truth, to the rhythm of life.

After all these years, Costa Rica is no longer a place we go.

It is a place that lives in us, a place we carry in our breath, our work, our love.

It continues to guide us.
It continues to nourish us.

And it continues to welcome those who are ready to remember what truly matters.

If your heart is ready to remember what truly matters, we invite you to join us in Costa Rica - where the land breathes life into your body, your soul, and your spirit.
