Private Retreats in Nosara, Costa Rica

Private retreats are a sacred container for deep inner work in Shelly’s shala at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, Nosara, Costa Rica. Consecutive healing days allow for a complete focus on your healing, rapid release of blockages and accelerated acclimation to the lightness of being that comes with true internal alignment. This deep internal dive expedites the rewiring of your nervous system with new beliefs. Retreats are your time to step out of old habits, and cement new ones that get you where you want to be.

FAQS

Where do I stay?

Our team will send a list of recommended accommodations, including Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, to facilitate your trip. Popular spots are Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada.

Do you offer concierge services?

We will happily make recommendations for local restaurants, grocery stores, tuk tuk drivers, car rental facilities and more. We will also send you a list of recommended items to pack, based on the season.

What is the weather?

Nosara is hot year round, with temperatures ranging from 31°C to 36°C. From November to mid April, it is high season where it is mostly sunny and dry. This is the hottest and busiest time of year. From mid April to end of August, it is low season where it rains a few hours a day. It is quieter, lush and cooler. September and October are very low season, where it rains most of the day. Many local businesses close for September.

How long does it take to feel change?

Samhara Energy Medicine supports you to make changes in your life from the inside out. Changing patterns takes time and commitment. That being said, there are simple things you can do to accelerate your progress. First, decide that you are going to heal—this is critical. Then, commit to consistent sessions and let yourself appreciate your progress. Post-session, allow yourself time to rest and integrate the insights you’ve received into daily living. The more you commit to shifting your inner dialogue, the faster you will heal!

After three sessions, you will be clearer and on higher ground. If you commit to the twelve session Freedom Journey, and do your homework, you will receive optimal results.

How much time should I allow for EACH session?

Deep emotions can come up in our work together. Sometimes, as we approach the 60 to 90 min mark, your body may be in the middle of release. If this happens, it’s important that we have time to work out the emotion out fully. This will ensure you are grounded before leaving, and ready to go back into world. 

15 min of buffer time is therefore recommended after each session. If we do need to extend our work, a 5 min grace period will be gifted to you. Additional time will then be pro-rated.

Is there recommended aftercare?

Following your session, please allow yourself time to rest. You may be tired as your body integrates the energetic upgrade it received. This process is parallel to a computer slowing down when upgrading its software. To best support your integration:

• Take the rest of the day off, and slow down on your rest day (this is a must).

• Journal about your experience.

• Walk in nature, if weather permits, and feel grateful for the positive changes that are coming.

• Enjoy an epsom salt bath or scrub before bed.

• Eat organic, vital foods.

Ideally, let yourself sleep in the next day (10 hours of sleep or more). Please absolve from alcohol or drug use after your session or always! If you are tired, please do not push yourself. If you do, physical symptoms, like a cold, may show up to force you to slow down so that your body can finish integrating the session.
