march 1st - 7th, 2026

*Re-Wild yourself in the lush magnificence of costa rica!

There’s a reason why so many people, myself included, go back to Costa Rica time and time again. It guarantees a magical experience.

On this retreat, explore pristine beaches with breathtaking sunsets (for real, the sunsets here are EPIC), international cuisine and of course daily embodiment with yoga and meditation. Plus the option to partake in waterfall hikes, surf lessons, horseback riding, fishing, zip-lining, massages, a bioluminescence tour or chilling in a hammock with a book…

your retreat includes:

  • 6 nights at Casa MarBella in the dynamic town of Santa Teresa on the Nicoya Peninsula

  • Airport transfer to / from Cobano Airport, after you transfer in Liberia (LIR) or San Jose (SJO) airports in Costa Rica (I’m happy to talk through options for getting there, I’ve done every variation of transport to Santa Teresa; our hotel can also coordinate shuttles if you choose to not fly through Cobana and take the complimentary taxi)

  • All breakfasts and lunches made of fresh ingredients to energize, compliment, and support your retreat experience

  • 2 dinners included (with 4 group dinners nearby to give you the opportunity to explore the amazing Santa Teresa restaurants)

  • Daily yoga & meditation class, organized to balance your physical, emotional, spiritual and energetic body

*what does it mean to rewild?

Re-wilding is about nurturing the innate, untamed aspects of human nature, such as curiosity, playfulness, and a strong connection to the natural world. It’s about reconnecting with one's natural state and reclaiming your inherent wildness, which can be seen as a natural, curious, and passionate mindset, free from societal conditioning. Connect with the Costa Rican habitat and tap into your true nature and free-spirit!


Testimonials about Rachel's retreats:

“…I’ve been processing all the layers of this life changing experience. From conscious eating, detox tea, body work, classes, excursions, authentic human to human connection, and more… to releasing, transforming, becoming, this was an experience I will never forget! - Deborah

Your retreat was the best thing I’ve done for myself in my life, ever. I accessed, finally, the feelings of being nurtured, after being in a state of constant overwhelm for so long. I learned what it feels like to feel nourished in my body.” - Andrea

“The Joshua Tree retreat was the perfect getaway. It meant so much to have a safe place to share and play, and have permission to relax and indulge, and be in all that laughter. It fed my soul! Rachel’s teachings are so real and caring and loving, and the fruits of her life and work experience are so bountiful and helpful.” - Kathryn

"My Nicaragua retreat with Rachel was the time of my life! I loved the casual, laid back vibe of everything. There was a lot of freedom to do what you wanted, but also a nice structure to our days that kept me grounded. The yoga we did was both athletic and relaxing which was a perfect balance. It was such a great treat to myself and I recommend everyone participate in a yoga retreat if you get the chance. Rachel created a safe, fun, uplifting and pleasurable atmosphere that I think I'll be having withdrawals from until I join her on her next retreat!" - Greta
