🌞 Nosara Wellness Retreat: Return to the Artist of Your Life
Location: Casa Verano Eterno, Nosara, Costa Rica
✨ Join me in Nosara, Costa Rica for an experience of whole body wellness. This is more than a retreat, it’s a sacred permission slip to create an experience that is perfect for you.
This week is designed to reconnect you with space — the kind that inspires, liberates, and reawakens the artist within you. Wellness is much more than what you do for your physical body, it’s also about what you do for your spirit.
Set just a short walk from Nosara’s vibrant coastline and consistent surf, Casa Verano Eterno is your home for breath, movement, stillness, expression, and whatever calls you most deeply.
🌿 Your Retreat, Your Rhythm
We’ve created a flexible schedule that lets you decide what retreat looks like.
Every day begins with a grounding breath + movement practice — a blend of yoga, Pilates, breathwork, meditation, and hands-on bodywork.Our private chef will serve up a nourishing, intentional breakfast to support your day ahead.
Then the day is yours.
Attend a daily workshop-style session
Explore Nosara’s nature, surf, or creativity
Or choose nothing at all — hammock, tide pool, sketchpad optional🌀 Optional Adventures & Inspirations
Surf lessons + tide pool hangs
Horseback riding, massage, or local cleansing ritualsPottery + art classes
Walks to town or staying in with your journal, a paintbrush, or good company
Evening circles + community connections in our expansive Yoga Shala
💫 Come to Remember What Lights You Up
This isn’t a retreat you follow. It’s one you shape.
Ashley is curating this experience alongside beloved Nosara-based teachers and guides. You’ll meet locals, connect through practice, and rediscover your rhythm in the company of conscious, creative humans.
Come breathe. Move. Play. Be still. Create. Say yes to what’s true.
