The Renewal Retreat: Costa Rica
November 22–28, 2026
Rest. Reconnect. Renew.
Imagine waking to the sound of tropical birds, beginning your morning with yoga overlooking the ocean, spending your day immersed in meaningful conversations, and ending each evening under the stars surrounded by a community of like-minded people.
The Renewal Retreat was thoughtfully designed for people who spend their lives caring for others, leading teams, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities. This is your opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and return home feeling rested, inspired, and renewed.
Our Location: Reunion Wellness Resort & Retreats
Costa Rica
Nestled on Costa Rica’s breathtaking Pacific coast, Reunion Wellness Resort offers the perfect setting to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.
With beautiful accommodations, healthy gourmet meals, an ocean-view yoga shala, swimming pools, a magnificent beach, fitness facilities, sauna, cold plunge, and countless peaceful places to meditate or simply be, you’ll have everything you need to fully embrace a week of renewal.
What Your Week Will Feel Like
Rather than packing every minute of the day, we’ve intentionally created a rhythm that balances learning, movement, rest, and adventure. Each day includes opportunities to move your body, nourish your mind, connect with others, and simply enjoy being present.
A Typical Day
Morning
☀️ Gentle yoga or Pilates led by Modo Yoga Nanaimo or the Reunion Staff
Healthy breakfast overlooking the ocean
Late Morning
Interactive renewal workshop with Deborah Connors
Together we’ll explore practical ways to reduce stress, cultivate resilience, reconnect with your purpose, and create meaningful rituals you can take home.
Afternoon
Fresh local lunch
Free time to:
- relax by the pool or beach
- swim in the ocean
- journal
- enjoy the sauna or cold plunge
- book a spa treatment
- work out in the gym
- connect with fellow travellers
- meditate
- read a book, or simply do nothing
On some afternoons we’ll also enjoy optional group activities both at the resort and in the surrounding area.
Evening
Delicious dinner
Gentle evening experiences that may include restorative yoga, guided reflection, sound bath experiences, connection circles, or other wellness activities designed to help you unwind before another restful night’s sleep.
Midweek Adventure
Wednesday is intentionally left more open.
Following a grounding morning yoga class, you’ll have the choice to:
- join an optional excursion to experience the beauty and culture of Costa Rica (additional cost)
- spend a peaceful day relaxing at the resort
- create your own adventure
That evening, everyone comes back together for a deeply restorative sound bath experience.

Your Journey Begins…
Your experience begins on Sunday, November 22.

You’ll leave on Saturday, November 28, carrying home far more than souvenirs—you’ll leave with renewed energy, meaningful connections, practical tools, and a fresh perspective on how you want to live and lead.
