We must know of all serious food issues at least three weeks prior to arrival. Bring an open mind and allow your taste buds to savor this unique culinary adventure! Cacao Ceremony - Cacao is a sacred herb indigenous to Central America that has vibrational properties which resonate with the heart. We prepare a superfood elixir made with fresh cacao pods from the Bribri Tribe (native peoples from the Talamanca Mountain region on the Caribbean coast) and other medicinal herbs and flowers, some are wildcrafted here on our property. This ritual can be a full 60-75 minute experience on its own (timing depends on group size) The process involves connection with ourselves, with the group collective, with Mother Nature (a powerful and palpable force here at The Sanctuary) and with the Planet as an organism. Waterfall Wellness Ritual - The Waterfall Wellness Ritual is our signature Sanctuary experience. This 1.5-2 hour empowering adventure right here on the property includes a full cleansing and polishing of the body and mind using indigenous fruits, flowers, oils and herbs, emotional release and intention setting, a guided river hike, waterfall climb, meditation, sacred mineral pool plunge and abhyanga (Ayurvedic self massage with jungle flower infused fresh-pressed coconut oil). This fun and unique ritual is designed to assist in the growth and transformation process that naturally happens while on retreat here by cultivating clarity, healing, courage, creativity and connection. Vision Quest - What are you seeking? We will gather our tribe for a collective adventure into the heart of The Sanctuary with the intention of distilling into wisdom the information that Mother Nature is constantly presenting. With Animal Spirit divination cards, indigenous clay infused with crystals to mark face and body, energy clearing and practices to enhance insight, intuition and imagination, you will begin to uncover answers to the questions you currently hold. We begin this adventure in the Yoga Pagoda (depending on group size, this takes about an hour) and from there continue on to the Rio Lajas and hike up to a sacred swimming lagoon and the largest and most majestic waterfall!!! Lakshmi Rising Conscious Dance - (This is different each time and is tailored to the energy of the group!) Movement Ritual has been a form of celebration and beauty, an important element of initiation, and a vehicle to recognize and connect with self, one another and the divine for as long as humans have been gathering around the fire. In this 90 minute guided experience we move to cultivate awareness on all levels and burn through layers of samskara (habits, hang-ups and karmic patterns) to ignite the pure essence of being that dwells within. No choreography, no need for special moves, just a willingness to liberate yourself. By expressing our own joy and freedom, we light the path for others.
