Costa Rica Retreat

Location: Casa Kismet, Nosara

For Those Ready to Call the Shots

This retreat is all about one thing—freedom. It’s your week, your rules, and your time to do what you want. Whether that’s pushing your body to new limits with skateboarding, surfing, hiking or unwinding by the ocean with a cold drink in hand, we’ve got you covered.

It’s designed for those who are done living by everyone else’s expectations. Whether you’re here to relax, seek adventure, or simply break away from the grind, this retreat gives you the space to choose your own adventure. With a variety of activities to mix and match, you get to create the experience that feels just right for you.

We’re opening the doors to anyone and everyone—no matter your gender or fitness level. All you need is a willingness to show up for yourself, break free from the day-to-day, and embrace a week of total freedom and choice.

With both Leon and myself leading the retreat, we want to be transparent that our little ones may be around but either at school or with the nanny during retreat hours. We believe in leading by example—showing what’s possible when you blend family, passion, and community, all while staying committed to your own growth and well-being.
