Connection is the Medicine
Signature Retreat
December 6th-13th, 2025
Guided by Deva + Eaden Shantay
Loma Sagrada, Nosara, Costa Rica
Connected living includes developing daily rituals and practices, including meditation, breathwork, yoga, journaling, spending time in nature, and taking care of our body with proper nutrition, exercise and rest to create a life dedicated to alignment, mindfulness, purpose and connection.
Join us as we step into a way of being that helps us feel better about being alive—with greater contentment, purpose and service to humanity.
What does it mean to live connected?
It requires that we ask ourselves the important questions, like why we do what we do, listening within for a response and then taking actions that create greater alignment and harmony.
It allows us to create a life with:
AWARENESS + Being more aware of life, both internally and externally
MINDFULNESS + Acting with mindfulness and in alignment with dharma (right action)
PURPOSE + Discovering and living our life purpose
CONNECTION + Cultivating a deeper connection to our higher self, the natural world and divinity
Connected living includes developing daily rituals and practices, including meditation, breathwork, yoga, journaling, spending time in nature, and taking care of our body with proper nutrition, exercise and rest.
Each day, experience:
Yoga, meditation, chanting, ceremony and other portals of connection. Time to travel within and discover deeper depths of Self. The intimate container in the sacred Costa Rican jungle will hold you safely, inviting you to see and be seen, welcoming vulnerability, releasing old patterns that bind, to align with your true self.
Each meal, taste:
Be nourished by organic, local ingredients prepared with Ayurvedic principles, to cultivate health and wellness. In Ayurveda, all dis-ease begins in the gut; at Loma Sagrada, health and wellness is at the forefront of our practices. See firsthand what it takes to bring food to your plate once you explore the seven acres of restored pasture. Witness how permaculture transforms an arid environment into a food oasis. From the fruit orchard to the herb terraces, food garden surrounded by chickens and bees to your plate, your culinary experience is curated to foster balance and harmony within your body and around us all.
Each night, rest:
Flowing with Mother Nature is another important aspect of being in retreat at Loma Sagrada. With both sunrise and sunset experienced each day and night from the top of the sacred knoll, you’ll have twelve hours of light, 6am-6pm hours. Close to the equator, establishing a healthy daily rhythm is an integral part of your experience. Once night falls, you will sense the energetic shift from vibrancy toward nurturance; the flow of each day will ride this gentle, relaxing wave. Wind down consciously to prepare for deep rest, so necessary for connection and healing.
Outline
Days are anchored by the rise and fall of the sun and the space in-between is intuitively guided by the needs of the group.
You will be engaged in practice (yoga, meditation, self-reflection) and also partaking in ceremonies and rituals to ground and open yourself up to releasing old patterns and welcoming new ways of being.
