Upcoming Retreat · Playa Coyote, Costa Rica · August 2026
A Return to Wonder — Embracing the play, presence, and curiosity of the inner child
Something in us never fully grew out of wonder. It just got buried — under pressure, performance, and the slow accumulation of life.
This retreat is an invitation to return. Not to who you were, but to the parts of you that still exist beneath the noise, the adaptation, and the roles you've learned to play.
Through movement, somatic awareness, creative expression, nervous system regulation, and shared experience — we explore the inner child not as something to fix, but as something to meet, listen to, and reconnect with.
There is space here for joy and grief. For play and tenderness. For rest you don't have to earn. This is a container that honors duality — where lightness and depth coexist.
Held at Salvatierra on Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula — one of the world's Blue Zones — the land itself becomes part of the work.
The Experience
Eco-luxury open-air accommodations on the Nicoya Peninsula. Shared and private room options. Saltwater pool, cold plunge, beach access, jungle immersion.
Three daily meals made from fresh, nourishing ingredients. You show up. Everything else is handled.
Daily vinyasa, yin, somatic, and restorative yoga. Movement as medicine, not performance.
Mindfulness training, nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and capacity-building practices. Including auricular acupuncture (5-needle protocol).
Art, journaling, ritual, and play. Inner child exploration through creative expression — not performance, not product.
Reflection through Human Design and astrology-based exploration — tools for understanding yourself with more compassion and less judgment.
Evening sound experiences and integration practices woven throughout to support the nervous system between sessions.
Roundtrip shuttle from Liberia International Airport (LIR) at designated times. Fly in, be received.
For therapists, coaches, and wellness professionals — optional CEU and supervision-based integration opportunities with Carly Bassett, LCSW-S.

This retreat is open to anyone feeling called to reconnect with themselves in a deeper, more embodied way. It may especially resonate with people who feel overstimulated, burnt out, or disconnected — anyone craving rest, play, and creative expression.
This space also intentionally supports therapists, coaches, and wellness professionals — those in roles of holding space who need a space of their own. Optional CEU and supervision opportunities are available.
You don't have to have it figured out. You just have to feel the pull.
This retreat will fill through connection and authentic invitation. If it's calling to you, that's information worth trusting.
