Our emphasis is on allowing a generous amount of flow and relaxation in each day. The above schedule provides a glimpse into the possibilities in each day. Although we will be emphasizing relaxation, there will be three things that we will do each day:
- Eat three unprocessed, whole food meals each day, made from fresh, local, ingredients with appropriate options for all metabolic types
- Lead play time that balance flexibility, balance, strength and cardiovascular health (swimming, Qi Gong, Yoga, surfing, running, walking)
- Take time to rest and reflect through napping, journaling, meditating, walking and guided contemplative practices.
You work. You are busy. You have a lot to keep track of. You have goals and are motivated. You are a success. What you need is time and space and nourishment.
Your tendency might be to fill up your week with trips into the jungle, seeing sights, taking pictures, etc. While we encourage this, and allow plenty of time for you to do as you wish, we know that it is very hard to slow down, stop and tune into our bodies.
We push ourselves so hard that our bodies lock in frustrations, pains and hurts that we often aren’t fully aware of. This is why most New Year’s Resolutions never pan out. There are all sorts of unforeseen blockages.
But if we regularly allow ourselves to rest, and rest deeply, (before we burn out or get sick!), we can process unresolved feelings and allow our bodies to detoxify, cleaning out the old to make room for the new. In this contemplative, healing space, you become a more powerful creator of your life, seeing more clearly your path for optimum health and life fulfillment.
Returning Home…You will return home relaxed and energized, with a deepened awareness in your relationship with your body. You will have a keener sense of which foods energize you, as well as what you need to stay balanced and healthy moment to moment and day to day. You will have connected deeply with the truest goals, challenges and dreams of your heart, and be ready to take them on. Seeing the golden Costa Rican sunshine gently radiating from your skin and your confident and loving smile and your clarity of direction your friends will say, "wow!
