Embracing the second half of life - Costa Rica Retreat

Retreat Description

In this retreat in beautiful Costa Rica, we reflect on what we are dreaming into in the second half of life. Angeles Arrien refers to this in her work when she says, “When you find the courage to change at midlife, a miracle happens. Your character is opened, deepened, strengthened, and softened. You return to your soul’s highest values. You are now prepared to create your legacy: an imprint of your dream for our world - a dream that can fully come true in the second half of life.”

This retreat is designed for anyone wanting to deeply connect with their body, heart, and spirit and celebrate as they journey into the second half of life.
