There is a different kind of peace that unfolds here. The kind that comes from waking up above the clouds, hearing the jungle come alive, moving your body without rushing, and remembering what it feels like to be fully present.
Somewhere between the waterfall hikes, the warm air, the morning movement, and the long exhale you did not realize you were holding, something starts to shift. You feel clearer. Lighter. More like yourself again.
That is the feeling we built this retreat around. Five days in Costa Rica's Diamante Valley, where each day blends intentional movement, energy healing sessions, nourishing food, and time to simply be outside in one of the most magical settings we've laid our eyes on.
Mornings open with yoga and breathwork in the bamboo Air Temple as the valley wakes, a guided hike to a waterfall, or a strength session in the open air. Nothing forced, everything optional.
Afternoons are designed for integration. Before we move toward the waterfalls, we create space for education with Dr. Matt Lyon, whose work sits at the intersection of nervous system healing, energy medicine, chiropractic care, applied kinesiology, and functional medicine. These sessions help you understand your body in a different way, to deeply heal and gain clarity. Then, when it feels right, we hike, swim, explore, or simply rest.
Evenings bring everyone back together around nourishing meals, conversation, and the fire pit. Every practice has a way in for every body. This is not about performing wellness. It is about feeling present, supported, and grounded in your own body.
Holos sits on a private ridgetop with 360° views of the Diamante Valley and Diamante Falls, Costa Rica's tallest waterfall. Two hundred acres of forest, river, and six waterfall pools, all to ourselves.
You'll sleep in spacious star glamping tents with real beds, pillow-top mattresses, soft linens, and air conditioning. Think jungle immersion with real comfort: restorative sleep, open-air dining, and practices held in a bamboo temple where sacred geometry meets the jungle canopy.
It's eco-luxury in the truest sense: nothing between you and the land, but every comfort where it counts.
A loose framework, not a packed schedule. Come for all of it or find your own pace.
Vinyasa, restorative yoga, and optional strength in the open air.
Guided jungle hikes to waterfalls and natural bathing pools.
Soundbath, breathwork, and bodywork.
Group education and optional 1:1 healing sessions with Dr. Matt Lyon.
Organic meals prepared fresh and shared family-style.
Unhurried evenings around the fire pit below the temple.
A small team, by design. You'll get to know all three of us over the week.
Mackie leads the strength work, hikes, and movement sessions, helping guests feel strong, capable, and connected to their bodies.
Juliet leads yoga, helps guide the rhythm of the retreat, and brings the care, grounding, and attention to detail that shapes the guest experience.
Dr. Matt leads group education and healing sessions, with optional 1:1 work available throughout the week.

A $500 deposit holds your place, with the balance split into two scheduled payments before the retreat. Payment plans available, just ask.
Fly into San José (SJO), Costa Rica's main international airport. From there it's a scenic drive, domestic flight, or charter to the Diamante Valley. We'll send full travel guidance once you're booked and can help coordinate ground transport.
Comfortable with a few hours of movement a day, with the option to hike, take yoga, or simply rest. Every activity has a beginner and a moderate path. This is about participation, not performance.
February is one of the loveliest times in the valley: warm days, cooler evenings above the clouds, and dry-season sun. We'll send a full packing list before you travel.
Yes. The kitchen can work with most preferences and restrictions. Let us know when you register so the chefs can plan.
Absolutely. Many guests come on their own. The group is intentionally small, and it tends to feel like friends by the second day.
The $500 deposit is non-refundable. Payment beyond the non-refundable deposit is transferable to another person for the same program, same year, if your space can be filled. At the 8-week point, if your space cannot be filled, you will forfeit your entire tuition.
