Picture this.

You step out from the cool grass onto the warm sandy beach a few steps from your home, a flock of birds soar overhead on a gust of wind in a perfect V, the sun is rising, the day feels open and light.

Joy is the feeling.

When you take time to travel to Costa Rica you are already tapping into joy. Costa Rica is designed this way. The energy emanating from the lands and the people is palpable. “Pura Vida” is the mantra of the people - The Pure Life.

Ralia Retreats is partnered with local guide, Marian Paniagua, owner of Joy of Life Costa Rica, to create flexible Joy of Life Retreats that can be booked at any time of year and for different size groups.

A Joy of Life Retreat will guide you to tap into the deepest level of your joy.

How long is a retreat?

Our retreat is designed to be 5 nights, 6 days. You can add days to your stay, but we highly recommend not cutting the time shorter.

What do you do on a Joy of Life Retreat?

While most retreats have activities, the activities we provide we call activations because they are meant to activate the retreat participants intentions for this time.

All activations are tailored to the individual and discussed beforehand.

For example, if your intention is to create space in your life and rest, your activations could be a sound bath, gentle yoga, meditation and massage.

Or, if your intention is to enhance your vitality your activations could be a fire ceremony, a wellness boat cruise, and a farm to table tour and meal.

We spend a session with our retreat-goers at least 1 month before the retreat to create the ideal itinerary.

What should we expect when we book a Joy of Life Retreat?

Our retreaters get a full service experience. They get complete support to organize the best flights, transportation, and food options. Accommodations, activations, and daily support services like fresh towels, daily cleaning, soaps, sunscreen, etc. are all part of our inclusions. We like to say “just bring yourself and a small suitcase with your fave beach outfits.”

There is not much you need to bring to a Joy of Life Costa Rica Retreat.
