Spiritual retreats deliver the rest, centering and renewal that so many modern vacations seem to lack. By putting aside the endless tours, hotel moves and GPS maps to actually absorb a new setting, travelers find themselves truly refreshed. No more needing a vacation from a vacation! Instead, these retreats focus on improving the participant’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness and gives rejuvenation.

What is a Spiritual Retreat?

The essence of a spiritual retreat brings together a group – coordinated either by the individual participants or a retreat leader – all seeking a deeper sense of relaxation through meditation and spiritual awareness programs, often in a tranquil setting of natural beauty. The overabundance of technology distraction, coupled with the rise in individual yoga practices brought the demand for inclusive wellness retreats to a new high.

Sharon Salzberg, a Buddhist meditation teacher and spiritual retreat leader, recently told Travel + Leisure magazine that these retreats serve as full-immersion courses where individuals can, “develop—or deepen—our capacity to find stillness of mind and greater awareness.”

Costa Rica and the beautiful Tamarindo area serve as a perfect location, as it’s home to a variety of spiritual meditation and yoga classes. From instructor trainings and silent retreats, Reiki sessions, holistic guidance and eco yoga for all levels, the natural splendor and relaxed pace of the area provides the perfect environment for spiritual reflection.
