NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET RETREAT

MAY 17TH-23RD, 2026 IN PUNTA UVA, COSTA RICA

 The reality of life today is that stress is everywhere you turn. The nervous system retreat is an opportunity to first pause your daily routines and then hit the reset button. Costa Rica is a place for healing, which you can attest to if you’ve been before. The jungles and beaches along with the culture and pace of life are set up for you to breathe easier and restore your unique homeostasis. 

You may have noticed nervous system imbalances in your everyday life but not understood the cues your body was giving you. Changes in your digestion, sleep, and concentration can all point to a consistent state of fight or flight. These disturbances can lead to fatigue, change in mood, inflammation, and more. With simple techniques like breath with props to change the tension patterns, neurologic exercise with your eyes and range of motion, and specific self massage to your neck and head, you’ll be able to soften your tension patterns and notice a difference instantly. 

This week of nervous system self-care will help you unwind from daily life while immersing yourself completely in nature. Your days will have casual and easy schedules so that you get what you need out of your retreat experience. You’ll have time for rest in a hammock or by the pool, strolls on the beach (which is in your backyard), connect with the other heart-centerd retreat guests, and of course enjoy fresh, local food. As a group, we’ll have the opportunity to spend time with the indigenous BriBri community and take a dip in the waterfall. Regularly we’ll move through restorative yoga classes with hands-on reiki, self-exploratory journaling, optional meditation, as well as beach bonfires. 

These 5 days and 6 nights in the jungles of Costa Rica’s Carribbean Coast have been thoughtfully crafted to protect your peace. In order for the nervous system to relax, you need to feel safe. Ask any questions that come up, so you’re able to be at ease. We provide scheduled transportation to and from the airport so you’re taken care of. You’ll be with the other members of the retreat, and if you’re feeling chatty, you can make a friend or two. 

If you’d like time for exploring, we’re here to help you get where you’d like to go. We’ll do our best to accommodate any special requests to ensure The Nervous System Retreat meets your expectations. We can’t wait to have an unforgettable experience with you!

ACCOMODATIONS

Nestled in the jungles of Costa Rica’s most beautiful beach Punta Uva, the Dragonfly Beach Retreat’s boutique bungalows are surrounded by the sounds of animals playing, leaves rustling, and waves lapping on shore. The natural wood and thatched-roof beachfront yoga and meditation decks are available at all times for the exclusive use of retreat guests. Cool off in the pool, hammocks, and shaded leisure spaces surrounded by vibrant tropical gardens, or walk the secluded, private beach path to find crystal blue waters and lounge chairs. Sloths, monkeys, toucans, butterflies, and more surround you for a truly unforgettable experience where high design and comfort meet nature. A variety of spa and wellness treatments are available on-site by request. Guests are just a short walk or ride away from local markets, restaurants, and boutique shops in the Punta Uva and Playa Chiquita neighborhoods. Daily bike rentals are available upon request.

Dragonfly Breach is a boutique retreat space that we chose for its smaller size. We’re working to cultivate community in better understanding our bodies and building connections with like-minded individuals along the way. Here there are many spaces to be alone, rest, and separate from the energy of others. There are 2 options to stay solo and the rest are shared. In the shared casitas, you’ll each have your own room and you’ll share a bathroom, living room, and terrace. All accommodations have a kitchenette; however, all meals will be provided for you. We all have the common goal of hitting the reset button while maintaining respect for each other. We hope this retreat helps you build connections with people along with the deepest connection with yourself.
