Location
Perched 1,000 feet above sea level on the Pacific coast, Yacumama—”Mother of the Waters” in Quechua—is a place where nature feels like it’s wrapping you in a warm, healing hug. The energy here is pure magic: lush green mountains, breathtaking ocean views, and the soothing sounds of water all around.
Imagine waking up to ocean breezes and falling asleep to cool mountain air, with a creek to the west and a cascading river to the east. You’re just a short 10-20 minute drive from pristine beaches where the jungle meets the ocean, perfect for swimming or surfing in warm, crystal-clear waters.
This nearly 100-acre sanctuary is half forest, brimming with wildlife, mature trees, and so much natural beauty it feels like stepping into a postcard. It’s the kind of place that grounds you, fills your soul, and reminds you what it feels like to really connect—with yourself, with nature, and with something bigger.

The closest airport to Yacumama is San José International Airport (SJO), located about 4 hours away by car from our retreat in Ojochal. Once you arrive at San José, you have several options for getting to Yacumama:
Private Taxi or Shuttle: The most convenient option is a private taxi or shuttle, which takes about 4 hours to reach Ojochal. Prices for private transfers typically range from $150 to $250, depending on the service and number of passengers.

Rental Car: For those looking for flexibility, renting a car is another great option. The drive from San José to Ojochal is scenic and straightforward, and renting a car allows you to explore the area at your own pace.
We can assist with arranging airport transfers or provide local taxi numbers for a smooth, affordable journey to Ojochal.
Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of nature, the fresh ocean breeze filling your lungs as the sun rises over lush green hills. Each day begins with a soul-nourishing yoga flow, designed to gently awaken your body and connect you to the rhythm of the elements. From this serene start, you’ll move into practices that invite you to explore your voice—both the literal sound of it and the deeper truth it carries.
Afternoons are a vibrant mix of connection, creativity, and exploration. Dive into playful and powerful playshops that unlock the healing powers of sound and expression. Take time to explore stunning jungle trails, dip into crystal-clear river pools, or feel the awe of cascading waterfalls. Personal coaching and Compassionate Inquiry-inspired healing sessions provide a safe, supportive space to gently release blocks, helping you reconnect with your most authentic self.
Evenings are for soulful gatherings under the stars, where laughter, music, and the soothing tones of sound weave together moments of fun, depth, and transformation. Whether you’re lounging with a journal, sharing stories, or simply soaking in the beauty around you, every part of this retreat is designed to nourish your body, mind, and soul.
