Expect to spend around $2,500 minimum for this vacation.  You could do it for a little bit less, email Karen for more information about that - (such as lodging in the group house, sharing hotel room in San Jose..  Buying your airline ticket at just the right time --30 days out is usually BEST).

 It is an unbelievable experience - Angus & I have been here twice and are completely in love with going there.  I would live there in a heartbeat - especially in winters!

What's free or inexpensive?  Beaches, walks in the rainforest at Samasati (stay in the paths & listen to any warnings first!), inexpensive treats await in nearby villages! ! !  Monkey & other rainforest sounds.

Come to this retreat with any intention - to have a great, restful vacation, to deepen your yoga practice or to take a good look at your life from another point of view (vacation!).  Experience the peace & beauty of the Caribbean rainforest & beaches.  We will celebrate New Years with a very special ceremony & dancing!  You can also opt out & spend as much   time as you want in quietness.

The journey begins at bus station in San Jose'
