Retreats

Our center is located in rural Costa Rica, just 40 minutes outside of the center of San Isidro, Perez Zeledon.

We are on the Pacific side of Costa Rica and are about 50 minutes from the beach town of Uvita and the Whales Tale National Park. Selva del Sol is situated on a ridge top overlooking Mount Chirripo, where we are also perfectly aligned to view the sunrise each morning.

Selva del Sol sits on about 20 acres or about 8 hectares spanning across a northeast facing hillside. We have several trails to small creeks and water falls located on the property as well as gardens, mature fruit trees, bamboo stands, fishponds, and a spectacular grandmother tree.

We are a modest size retreat and education center focusing on general wellness, family centered events, and eco-education. Our center was started as a permaculture farm and community project in 2009 (click to learn more), and since inception, we have installed many permaculture systems and regenerated the landscape to allow more biodiversity to thrive.

As we shift our focus to include hosting personal and group retreats, we maintain a commitment to tend to the land and the ecosystem, thus creating a harmonious and connected space from which to offer transformational retreats.

Our lodging and facilities are simple and pleasant. Many of the structures have been made from re-purposed and/or natural materials. We aim to create both comfortable and eco-centric habitations. We have a central community kitchen and a couple different gathering and meeting spaces. Our center can accommodate retreats of about 12-20 participants comfortably.

All of our retreats and services are custom. We work with a network of healers, teachers, and musicians in the area and internationally to offer clear, connected, transformational experiences for all ages. We would love to hear from you and share more about our center with you! Please reach out to us if you have any questions or if you would like to inquire about renting our space for your event or retreat.
