INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION
What makes this retreat unique
These exclusive, luxurious, and fully private retreats are offering a tailor-made program designed for those who love privacy and want to change the course of their life, are ready for deep and intense work, seeking a physical, mental, and spiritual reset.
All retreats adopts a psycho-holistic and integrative approach, ensuring that you leave feeling crystal clear with a newfound sense of being and direction.
Moreover, you’ll be equipped with a diverse range of tools to support your integration process at home. Devoted to service and as your dedicated facilitator, I will lovingly and gently guide you toward higher self-awareness, resilience, and deep self-understanding.
PERSONALIZED PROGRAM
Harmonizing with who you are
Every detail of the program is expertly crafted to make you feel strongly supported and seen, empowering you to look within and remember who you are beyond your personification and identity.
This implies that cultivating inner stillness through meditation practices, sound baths, breath-work, and intentional silent hours is encouraged.
And when things feel too emotionally charged or the body is asking for a break, then we will honor your rhythm allowing you to relax, integrate, and rest.
ACTIVITIES AND PERKS
Choose what feels best for you
There are many activities available to choose from. Whether you want to dive deep in a psycho-terapeutic workshop, reset your whole system with a detox program, or go within in a holistic healing session, they are all designed to meet you where you are. Some of the activities include also hiking trips to magical beaches, immersion in the local culture or meditations in nature.
It is of utmost importance that gentleness and fun are also incorporated into this process, as life is not meant to be taken too seriously. Your desires, processing time, working energy, and intentions are deeply respected and consistently checked to make sure your experience is unique and unforgettable.

Wow. Wow. Such an incredibly beautiful experience. Highly recommend!
A chance bus meeting and 9 month later, my interior landscape is so different it feels like another lifetime. Neten's wise insights, incredible patience and clear boundaries helped me see the intricate patterns and loops of my psyche, even through sometimes great resistance.
Her clear guidance helped me stabilize a new way of being - and not just for a weekend or a few weeks in the post retreat glow - I am present to life at the drugstore, in traffic, and even in pain. I can say without a doubt, she is one of those few people I've met where there is my life before her and something much much richer after. I am at the start of a new existence and I can't wait to see where it takes me.
Thank you Neten - and so much love.

Does the retreat offer a medical diagnostic?The integrative approach for these retreats, facilitating both individual and joint sessions allows you to come to an understanding of the behavior, mindset, and response to triggers/patterns. All retreats are a powerful opportunity for healing and a chance to start fresh, enabling any individual or both, as mother and child, to heal and make a positive change. I believe in all my teaching programs and I hope you will feel the benefits of attending and participating, however attending a retreat, workshop or class is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment, nor do I claim to offer medical treatment. If you need medical attention and/or diagnosis, please contact your care provider.

Is it safe to rent a car, and should I do it?Yes, renting a car in Costa Rica or Portugal is safe and highly recommended as the best way to explore the country. Both countries have beautiful landscapes that are best experienced by car. While the roads are generally good, be cautious of potholes, downed trees, and erosion issues, especially during the rainy season in Costa Rica. If you plan to stay within the city or use the highway system, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is not necessary. However, for rural areas in Costa Rica, a 4-wheel drive is recommended. Google Maps, Maps.me, and Waze are reliable navigation tools in both countries. If you need assistance with airport transfers, please let us know in advance. Car rental agencies in Costa Rica include Enterprise, National, and Adobe Car. In Portugal, you can rent from Avis, Berent, and Hertz.

What attractions are around the area that I could visit/do post-retreat?This region of Costa Rica is a combination of jungle-filled mountains and the Pacific ocean. Gazing at stunning sunsets on the beach is a ritual of ours for example. The nearby hills are a playground for wildlife and hiking enthusiasts, and the nearly deserted beaches are the perfect escape for those looking to relax and unwind. Few things not to miss while you are here: Nauyaca Waterfalls One beautiful thing to do in the area is hiking to the Nauyaca Waterfalls which is very close to the center. You can arrive at the falls on horseback or with their pickup truck for $33. Or if you’re up for a moderately difficult hike, you will be paying only the entry ticket of 15$. This will let you take in the gorgeous surrounding rainforest. Mangrove or Ocean Kayak/SUP Tour If you’re looking to take in the beautiful scenery out on the water, consider a kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP) tour. These take you either through the nature-filled mangroves or to the ocean. Tours are $75-85 per person. Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary If you want to get up close to some of Costa Rica’s most exotic wildlife, check out the Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary. The minimum donation is $25 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. Tours can be arranged directly through the Sanctuary. Diving Thanks to the nutrient-rich coastal waters, diving and snorkeling in Costa Rica can be a magical experience. The clear sea offers visibility for scuba diving between 30 to 100 feet, guaranteeing you'll spot all kinds of marine life.

For a small country, Portugal seems to fit half the world within its borders. There’s its teeming capital Lisbon, a carnival of hills and trolleys and centuries-old monasteries. There’s Porto and its fortified wine, and the vineyards of the Douro Valley and so much more! Read more: https://www.viator.com/Portugal/d63

-
Can I purchase additional services if I have booked a pre-set retreat?Yes, if you have booked a retreat with a pre-set schedule, you can request additional services. However, please note that you cannot exchange services that have already been paid for. The schedule for each retreat is designed to be flexible, allowing you to integrate what you are learning, feel into the day, and also take time to rest.
-
What should I bring with me?Depending which country you choose, you should bring clothes that match that climate. Portugal has two seasons beautiful warm summer and autumn cooler rainy season. Costa Rica is a year round humid tropical hot country with an intense rainy season. Generally you should bring your swimsuit (if its summer where you travel), water/hiking shoes, a hat, a water bottle, mosquito repellant, and a must - do bring a journal. Is important to write down what you will experience. Depending on what services you are booking, you might be required to bring other things with you like a picture of you as a child (inner child workshop).
