7-DAY SOMATIC JOURNEY COSTA RICA RETREAT

Feb 1-7, 2026

Tune in your inner wisdom through movement, Earth connection with Costa Rican native teachers

Tune-In is an immersion for those seeking genuine connections, sharing, and going beyond the superficial, unlike the typical wellness retreats sold by the industry.

What you feel and are. You will be able to tune into your body-territory, fine-tuning your inner listening and intuition through multidisciplinary practices. An experience where, through movement, you enter into your sensitivity and deep listening. Through connection with nature and techniques such as Authentic Movement, Contact Improvisation, Ecstatic Dance, and Fascial Flexibility. A return to the truth of your body, to the rhythm of the Earth that awakens instinct, clarity, and full vitality, through the embodiment of our intuitive nature in community.

Awaken your inner wisdom. Remember your truth. It is there, in your own body.

Join a revitalizing experience where your body guides you, movement is a means to vibrate the connection, breathing the essence in presence. In the Costa Rican jungle, create space to feel, release, and awaken. More than a retreat: it's a return to coherence with your senses, a reconnection with the wisdom of your body, fascia, voice, and rhythm. A space to be held, felt, and reborn.

THE PRACTICES

Rather than faking the sensation, we will discover it in movement.

Tune-In and explore somatic practices: simple body awareness exercises that awaken your senses and the communication between your body systems and the environment, allowing you to access your instincts in motion. Practices to re-inhabit your body, regulate your nervous system, and align yourself with your own rhythm.

Arises from the question, "What moves a person from within?"
In this practice, we allow ourselves to be guided by the natural impulses that produce movement in our bodies; the sensations that move us and allow us to be & feel.
"Our movement is our behavior; there is a direct connection between how we are and how we move." - Mary Stark
Where movement starts in the technology of fascia, not just muscles. A flexibility method from Là Pabend Academy: conscious gestures, body awareness, and emotional insight. Gently releases blockages, increases motion, and connects to the body's wisdom.
Disconnect from screens to amplify your instinctive senses.
We'll give ourselves a three-day break from digital interaction to feel free from interference.
A deep, dynamic, moving meditation session to recognize our vital, creative sexual energy.
You'll explore the pure vitality within you through this shamanic practice, using breath and subtle movement to recognize resistances that impede pure expression.

Individual Practices

The True Power from Costa Rica Lands

We will take a unique journey that links the body with ecology, somatics, and witchcraft. Moving from the biological view of the forest floor to the connections between the body and its environment, we gain a deeper awareness of this relationship. This somatic practice changes how we perceive, tuning our senses to connect with the earth and trees. We will explore both the ground and the trees.
We'll have a relaxing walk in the hot springs in La Fortuna!

We will explore moving together with trust and mutual support, using natural forces like gravity, momentum, counterforce, resistance, friction to discover new ways of relating and being in contact with the space and the others. You´ll get to experience the freedom of dance improvisation learning different contact improvisation techniques.
Celebration through liberation of your own movement with the music. Based on 5 rythms, we create a non verbal dance journey to lift the spirit and embody freedom. A safe container to express emotions, reconnect with your creativity and your vitality in community without judgemen
Sitting with Grandfather Fire is a ritual in itself; it connects with the transformative energy inherent in human beings. Leaving the past behind, transmuting our consciousness, and rising from the ashes like a Phoenix.
"Fire sustains us, teaches us, and transforms those who want to observe."
After so much movement, we can put into words what we collectively feel. Circles of vulnerability and collective testimony.
Spaces to hear our words without judgment, to hear each other's truth.
