We’re keeping the group small and intimate on purpose, so spots are limited. This isn’t a conference: it’s designed for real transformation.

If this is speaking to you, the time is ripe now.

🏡 Participants spend 7 nights in a stunning eco-lodge right by Samanea surrounded by forest and open sky. All sessions will all take place on Samanea land itself.

🥗 All meals are lovingly prepared by the host family with locally sourced ingredients that support nearby farmers — an experience of nourishment that reflects the values of reciprocity at the heart of Samanea.

🤝 A portion of every registration directly funds local ecological and community initiatives in Monteverde.

🌱 Your investment:

  • Shared room (sleeps 2) — $3,200

  • Private room (limited availability)— $3,500

This includes

  • 7 days of guided learning across four dimensions — Poetic, Somatic, Natural, and Collective Intelligence — through writing, dialogue, nature walks, reflection and rest

  • 3 daily meals prepared with local ingredients

  • One yoga class with a local teacher

  • One movement session with a local facilitator

  • One 60-minute massage for each participant. Yes, you read that right.

  • A cacao circle led by Karen, drawing on her work in cacao preservation in Peru

  • A beautifully tailored book of curated poems, essays, and reflection prompts created for this immersion — your field guide and keepsake

  • One post-immersion group call with Lauren to translate reflection into real-world practice — ensuring the learning doesn’t stay in the forest, but moves into your work and leadership.

Not included:

  • Airfare (fly into San José — SJO — or Liberia — LIR)

  • Round-trip shuttle from either airport to Samanea, available for purchase
