“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old,
but on building the new” – Socrates
How do you plan to “build the new” in 2025?
Don’t just restore factory settings but upgrade your whole system on the seven-day New Days, New Ways retreat, a transformational journey encompassing yoga, meditation, bodywork and three health-supportive meals every day, all while immersed in nature in the wild coastal jungle of Costa Rica’s intensely biodiverse Osa Peninsula.

The demands and obligations accompanying this time can drain our energy and leave us yearning for a much-needed reprieve.
