Individual &
Couples Retreats

There comes a time when we know we can’t continue doing the same thing expecting different results. When we know that the only option is to make a significant shift in order to evolve. Maybe it’s a nagging voice that keeps telling you that you have more to offer the world and you’re playing small. Maybe a life-changing event like having a child, leaving or entering a relationship, changing jobs, or recovering from illness, propelled you into action and you’re determined to create a life aligned with your deeper calling.

Air & Water

You know you can’t do it in your current setting, energy, or location. You need a change of scenery to open your mind and body to shift your perspective.

That’s when you come to us at Air & Water in Costa Rica. Where you explore nature up close and personal. Where the jungle sounds and ocean waves help you rediscover your true essence. Where, with the help of your personal master coach, you create a tactical plan for making the most profound shifts and begin living the life you most desire.

Our individual retreat is specifically designed for people who:

  • Prefer an intimate learning experience (vs. a group setting) to explore current habits and beliefs to transform as individuals AND as a couple.
  • Are self-motivated, need a kick start or re-boot, and are committed to sustaining changes once back home.
  • Are ready to challenge their current assumptions, perceptions, and narratives to develop meaningful lives and relationships.
  • Recognize the power of integrating intellectual learning within the body to create permanent change.
  • Want to combine deep work with fun activities to integrate the mental, physical, and emotional sides.

“Surprisingly, the luxury is how cared-for you feel. From the moment we arrived to after we came home.”

During your stay, you will explore a combination of mental and experiential activities. This will incorporate your learning deep within the mind, body, and heart.

Choose from a 4-day intensive or a 7-day retreat experience.

Jacó, Puntarenas
4-Day Intensive

The intensive program is great for individuals or couples that want a re-start, boost, or energizer and are clear about what they want to work on. Because of the intensity of this program, those who attend it love the Costa Rica locale but it’s less of a vacation and more of a working retreat.

Punta Uva, Limón
7-Day Retreat

The integration program is perfect for individuals or couples want a more comprehensive program and are ready to go deep. In this program, there is ample time for trips, activities, and to integrate and align what is learned in the sessions.

Airport pickup and travel to the location. This day is a mix of settling in, fun, and relaxation with one afternoon session.
