Flow and Grow
​
7 Night Movement Excursion in Dominical, Costa Rica
Dec. 4th -11th, 2021
"Those who flow like life flows know they need no other force."
- Lao Tzu
Do you hear the whales calling along the famed Bahia Ballena coastline? Have a yearning to surf the sunset and jump in waterfalls? To move your body and soul, flow and let go, unveil your own inner beauty in greater depth, like the vibrant nature of the rainforest?
If you feel these calls, allow us to extend an invitation to join a weeklong movement excursion in Dominical, Costa Rica! Rather than retreating from daily life, we are embarking on an adventure with the opportunity to learn new skills, commune with nature, let go of stress and limiting beliefs, and relish the abundance of life. Our home base will be a multi-level villa with amazing views of the sunset, less than five minutes walking from the Pacific Coast and Playa Domincal. The beach is famous for its surf breaks, suitable for beginners and experienced surfers alike, the appearance of humpback whales on their annual winter migration, and breathtaking sunsets.
We will engage in movement practices each day to build our mind-body connection, release stress, and engage in play. Expect a smorgasbord of animal movement, budokon, qi gong, breathwork, and thai massage to move loving energy and information through our bodies. You can choose to lounge by the pool during the day or join one of the many adventures this lush area of Costa Rica has to offer.
