Here at Ralia Retreats we call the activities you do during your travel “activations“. Through activation you experience a deeper fulfillment and alignment with your travel intentions.

In Costa Rica we are partnered with Marian Paniagua and Dania Fallas to assist in overseeing all of our guests activations. Our guests can imagine any activity they desire to be included in their time in Costa Rica, but a handful of potent activations have made it onto our signature list.

We encourage you to consider from our signature activation list during your retreat with us in Costa Rica.

The Chorotega Legacy

Guests tap into joy and gratitude for life as they are shown the direct impact of their retreat on preserving an indigenous legacy. Our curated visit to the Chorotega pottery makers is a hands-on cultural journey that deepens a feeling of connection to Costa Rica. Guests eat lunch with a local pottery master and get to shop the beautiful designs.

2. Our Uniting Ceremonies

All of our guests receive a group alignment ceremony to open and close their retreat. In addition, guests can add a cacao ceremony or a sound bath ceremony to further enjoy uniting moments. Cacao ceremony is an ancient mayan tradition of drinking what resembles a hot chocolate. The sound bath is a unique symphony of sound frequencies designed on the spot for our guests. Both ceremonies open up expansive conversation and deepen connections.

3. Sparkly Sunrise Surrender

Our guests get to lose themselves in the expansive feeling of life on the ocean. Guests spend half the day from sunrise to lunch on a boat. Guests are led through relaxing meditations and flow yoga on a secluded beach. Fresh, local foods and beverages are served so guests feel vibrant and energized for the day.

4. Touch & Eat from the Earth

Feel healthier and more connected to the lands of Costa Rica. A professional chef accompanies our guests to a local organic farm where vibrant vegetables and fruit are grown year round. Your guides will delight your taste buds and warm your heart with their food stories. In the evening the farm ingredients become a delectable full service meal.

5. Total Wellness & High Energy Mindful Moments

A mixture of energizing foods, yoga, meditation, and relaxation therapies are used to create wellness and fitness. Our guests learn to relax, move, eat and breathe with the ocean waves. Request as many sessions as you like!
