The Invitation

Come home
to your body.
Come home
to the wild.

Imagine waking to birdsong in the rainforest canopy, sipping freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee while the mist lifts over the Caribbean Sea — then easing into your morning with gentle movement, breathwork, and silence.

Over 7 days and 7 nights, this is not a "see all the things" experience. It is a curated, restorative journey inward — guided by practitioners who work at the intersection of sound, somatics, ceremony, and the living world.

You'll have space to unplug from hustle and noise, reset your nervous system in ways daily life simply doesn't allow, and leave feeling genuinely grounded, clear, and alive.

What Awaits

Seven days of deep nourishment

Our schedule is lightly held — enough structure to guide and support you, with generous space for rest, wandering, and the unexpected moments that often matter most.

Sound Healing & Biofield Tuning

Immersive group sessions with tuning forks and vibroacoustic sound baths to reset the nervous system at a cellular level.

Movement & Breathwork

Morning practices ranging from gentle yoga flow to TRE shaking medicine and chakra exploration through sound, voice, and movement.

Plant Meditation & Earth Medicine

Grounded plant meditations and herbalism woven through the week — tending to the body through the wisdom of the living world.

BriBri Indigenous Reserve

A sacred day with the BriBri people — a Shaman visit, traditional lunch, chocolate-making, and a journey to the Volio waterfall.

Ceremony & Fire

Cacao ceremony, fire ceremony, and a shamanic journey — held with care and reverence as containers for deep integration.

Beach, Surf & Jungle

Beach days, optional surf lessons, guided bird walks, jungle trails, waterfalls, and hammock time under the stars.

Farm to Table

Every meal, home cooked

All meals are included — three home-cooked, fresh organic vegetarian buffets daily, served in an open-air restaurant overlooking the rainforest and sea. Think vibrant Caribbean and global flavors, fresh-baked breads, and desserts featuring local cacao. And yes — freshly harvested Costa Rican coffee flows freely all morning long, best enjoyed slowly, in the open air, with nowhere to be.

Want to add protein? Locally sourced fish, chicken, and other protein options are available as an add-on for those who'd like them. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free options available with advance notice.

🌿

A gentle heads up: Samasati sits within 250 acres of living rainforest, and getting around this beautiful property means navigating jungle paths, uneven terrain, and the occasional root or stone underfoot. We recommend bringing sturdy, closed-toe shoes or trail footwear so you can move freely and comfortably through the land. Your feet will thank you — and the forest rewards those who can wander.
