Stepping Into Your Wild Side
A Yoga, Pilates, and adventure retreat in Costa Rica
APRIL 2- 9 , 2016.
Finca Luna Nueva Lodge
If you feel over loaded with civilization: cell phones, to do lists, obligations, work, out side expectations, achy bodies and feel disconnected this retreat will put you back together.
Each day we do both a yoga and a pilates practice, and build into these physical and spiritual modalities an exploration of the unknown within us.
We will expand and stretch our perception of self to re gain inner space.
Through meditations and breathing techniques we will remove boundaries and access more of ourselves.
Finca Luna Nueva is a Sustainable Rainforest Eco-Lodge Hotel providing comfortable accommodations situated amidst acres of lush gardens, hiking trails and a secluded jungle with views of the magnificent Arenal Volcano. The atmosphere of the retreat center is simple, healthy and relaxed. Rooms are single, double, or trip occupancy with fans and hot water and the eco-lodge has beautiful chlorine free swimming pool and jacuzzi.
This Retreat includes:
7 Nights Accommodations at The Luna Nueva Rainforest Eco-Lodge Hotel
Daily yoga and Pilates sessions.
3 Whole Foods Meals a Day (Organic and Local when possible)
Personal Retreat Time (plenty of free time to nap, walk, swim, read, just be)
Chocolate tour
Night time rain forest tour
Visit to the local hot springs
A sprinkling of magical soul dust at unexpected time
Luna Nueva, a private rainforest reserve.

By Bus from San Jose or Alajuela
From San Jose you have two choices to arrive by bus:
1) Take the bus to Ciudad Quesada. From there, transfer to the bus that goes to La Fortuna via Chachagua. Get off in San Isidro de Peñas Blancas. or …
2) Take the bus to San Ramon. Then take the bus to La Fortuna via Chachagua, and get off in San Isidro.
By Bus from La Fortuna: Take either the bus to Ciudad Quesada via Chachagua or the bus to San Ramon via Chachagua and get off in San Isidro de Peñas Blancas.
By Car from San Jose
From San Jose head north to San Ramon via the Pan American highway. At San Ramon, exit Pan American highway by making a right turn. Go straight until the last stop sign, and turn left. Immediate right turn at traffic light. Follow road for about 2 km staying to the left. When you go uphill over a speed bump with small school on right then another speed bump make a left at the y intersection. This is the road to Fortuna. Follow this road north for about an hour when you will arrive at a single lane suspension bridge over the Peñas Blancas river.
About two kilometers after the bridge watch for a church and cemetery on left. 150 meters past the cemetery turn left onto a paved road (you will see the “Luna Nueva” signs on your left). Go 2.3 km west into the jungle. Stay on the paved road passing a large tin building. 50 meters after the tin building turn right and pass thru our gate. It has pink columns. Continue driving into the farm to the large two story house.
If lost ask for Finca Luna Nueva or finca de Steven.
From the Beaches in Guanacaste and Liberia Airport
If you are driving from the Liberia International airport or from any of the main beach resorts in the Guanacaste Region, we recommend driving west to Liberia, continuing on to Cañas and Tilarán, and driving the scenic road bordering the Arenal Lake. The drive from the beaches should take between 3 to 4 hours, depending on the point of departure.
From Liberia head east onto the Interamerican Highway, the road to Cañas, Puntarenas and San José. Drive past the town of Bagaces, reaching the city of Cañas. Turn north into town, departing from the Interamerican Highway. Follow signs to Tilarán in the mountains north of town. Tilaran is about 20 minutes from Cañas. When you arrive you must make a hairpin to the left at the top of the hill where a brand new gas station is on your left. Ask if not sure the way to Arenal (lake and volcano Arenal).
Within 10 minutes you will reach a fork on the road. Stay on the left, following signs to Fortuna, and Arenal Volcano.
Stay on the scenic road that takes you around Lake Arenal. Drive for about 90 minutes, passing the town of Nuevo Arenal and the dam that forms the lake. At this point, you will depart from the Lake and continue east towards the volcano and the town of La Fortuna. Stay on this road for approximately 20 minutes, until you arrive in Fortuna.
You will reach a point of the road were you can not continue straight and must turn right. Follow the road to the right, crossing a bridge after one block and leaving town. Signs will say route to Chachagua, La Tigra and San Ramon.
After approximately 20 minutes you will reach Chachagua. You will know Chachagua since there is a road bump right on a curve of the road. You may want to ask several people to be sure.
Passing Chachagua keep looking for a store called CocoLoco. This will be on your left hand side. Once you have passed CocoLoco you will cross a small bridge. After this bridge continue uphill unitl you see a paved road on your right (you will see the “Luna Nueva” signs on your Right). Go 2.3 km west into the jungle. Stay on the paved road passing a large tin building. 50 meters after the tin building turn right and pass thru our gate. It has pink columns. Continue driving into the farm to the large two story house.

Accommodations:
A variety of accommodations are available in the community and can be arranged through Bienestar, prices range from $350. a month upward. Food plans for general or specific diets can also be arranged for the duration of the program, each plan is unique therefore pricing must be customized.
There are two hotels and a hostel within walking distance of Bienestar.
Each one has a different flavor, style and they all give me a special price by the month, plus that program is in low season. Currently they all range from $340 -360. per month and I doubt there will be any change.
Flutterby Hostel – a hostel but one of the most loved in Central America, busy, fun, close to the sea, community kitchen, dorm style sleeping and shared baths.
www.flutterbyhouse.com/
La Flori de Bahia – no cooking, but air conditioning and a small pool American style rooms.
www.lafioridebahia.com
Casa Bahia – separate kitchen available to guests, a bit further to walk but on a breezy hilltop, very quiet – private, nice rooms. I use the space for small retreats because it is so quiet and private.
I provide fruits and juices in the a.m. and I am trying to offer a low cost optional large organic fresh salad lunch, Gluten free with or with out protein in my next program. So I hope to be offering that again… and then dinner is on your own. If you chose a place with a kitchen it will be the least expensive option, otherwise meals out here are 3000 – 7000 colones. That is $6. to $14 dollars.

…Imagine balancing effortlessly in Tree position, feeling the quiet strength of your roots burying deep into the earth, as you gaze upon the ancient, mossy trunks of jungle giants standing silently all around…
…Imagine burying your feet in soft coral sand, warm waves cleansing your skin, feeling the caresses of a healing breeze on a body that is full of vitality…
…Imagine closing your eyes and drinking in the smell of the ginger flower mixed with the ylangylang tree, while your ears take in the symphony of parrots, howler monkeys and the slow rush of a sleepy sea…
At Punta Mona Center, Costa Rica, every moment is breathtaking.
We start our day with what is real, filled with the power of nature: we wake with the sun, we breathe with the sounds, we meditate in this flourishing space and we move with these natural flows… and bit by bit, we re-synchronize ourselves to the rhythms of this wild earth.
Built on the power of community and the beauty of living a simple, intentional life, close to what is real. Here, you will have the opportunity to literally immerse yourself in the lush environment of the coastal rainforest, living close to the earth as you feed your soul with blue clay mudbaths, freshly picked gourmet superfoods, and cleansing daily swims.
We practice and learn in the open air, drawing constantly from the elements of the Earth to help us in our process of discovery. Experience the sweetness of life while dancing to the heartbeat of the jungle beaches by moonlight. Swim in the warm, shallow waters of the Caribbean and experience the life-changing magic of a phosphorescent ocean under a sky full of stars.
Indulge in plates filled with healing jungle gourmet cuisine, connect with the extensive diverse wildlife and surround yourself with acre after acre of extreme beauty, extensive gardens and diverse eco-systems, all yogically drawn together into a thriving and self-sustaining permaculture community.Form strong bonds of lifelong friendship, while learning how to share the deep peace of what you truly love!

Teacher Bios: Julia Jiya Randall: Jiya is a deeply spiritual leader who roots her teaching in the healing energy of nature. She has worked with SchoolYoga Institute for several years, sharing yoga across the continents, and is a source of dedicated guidance and inspiration. Jiya specializes in alternative health, bringing in a range of practices including energy healing, herbology, personal therapy, massage and nutrition. Her teaching invites students to explore their own, unique unfolding, through profound awareness of and trust in the wisdom of the Self. Jessi Long: Since a young age, Jessi has studied dance and creative movement. Yoga found Jessi seven years ago, and since her first RYT200 teacher training in 2008, Jessi has led retreats and workshops throughout the States, Guatemala, Mexico, and Costa Rica. She completed her RYT500 hour certification in 2012 and is now an RYT facilitator in several countries for School Yoga Institute. Jessi teaches a Vinyasa based practice to combine elements of dance and natural movement with traditional yogic sequencing. She is grateful for the journey and to share movement of bliss with others along the way. Jessi lives and teaches in Guatemala, where she also founded JUSTA, a holistic network that connects indigenous artisans, global designers, and projects that promote self-sustaining development, creative expression, and holistic empowerment within family and community Jed Pennell: Born to a hippie woodsman and an indigenous seer, Jed’s roots run deep in the streams of earth knowledge. A middle child of four brothers, he spent his childhood playing in the clean cold streams of southern Oregon, building forts among the sacred cedars. His character serene like the old-growth firs he in the Kalamiopsis wilderness behind his house: charred by fire, growing sweeter and stronger through tragedy yet inclined toward victory. Upon graduating from Illinois Valley High School as valedictorian, ASB president, and a 3x state wrestling champion he went to Oregon State University where he continued his search. As a NCAA Division I wrestler he flourished through a relentless work ethic and driving longing for realization, becoming the Pac-10 newcomer of the year and a perennial national competitor. Earning a minor in Philosophy and a Masters Degree in Exercise and Sport Science, he was the recipient of numerous prestigious awards. En route to his teaching degree the universe orchestrated one of the most magical, synchronistic meetings of his lifetime: his soulmate Keri! It was also in college that he began practicing yoga. Here he found a crystallization of his spiritual values and his life purpose. Studying under Sujita Sklenar, after a few years he began subbing for her classes. Moving to the southern Mendocino coast, with his soon to be wife, Jed spent the next six years teaching Physical Education, Health, and other subjects at Point Arena High School. There he also led spiritual flow yoga classes twice a week, became an avid surfer and was blessed with the birth of his two sons. In the summer of 2009 he took a pilgrimage to rediscover the ancient knowledge of his ancestors in Peru, while transforming his practice through studying with Vedantin in his 200 and 500-hour School Yoga Institute teacher training courses. Delving into the shamanic realms, in 2011 he finished his 1000-Hr and facilitator SYI trainings. His mystical epic soul journey continues today as he spends time back at home in southern Oregon working on various organic permaculture gardening projects, when not travelling the world facilitating Teacher Training Courses with the SYI. As a follower of the Mayan Tzolkin and 13 moon calendars, Jed embodies Cib/Ajmac (vulture/condor/owl) and the Blue Resonant Monkey, respectively. A peaceful warrior letting his life emerge through humor, paradox and change, his motto has become: ‘shine love n’ light’. Emanating out from the moment of formlessness the flower of life is the pattern of creation he follows. Passionate about embodying the shift back toward the galactic center—the Divine feminine—Jed practices holding space, seeing through illusion, and recognizing the one in all, whether studying crop circles, drawing sacred geometry, practicing yoga, playing devotional music, raising his precious family or surfing voluptuous waves.

Course Description:
The moon has long been a beacon of the divine feminine. A symbol of goddesses, light, wisdom, sister-mother-grandmotherhood, intuition and inner power. In modern society, however, we’ve lost this innate connection to all that the moon represents, and to our birthright as women. We’ve minimized our womanhood to superficial portrayals of who we really are, and often found ourselves deflated in a largely masculine dominated world. This workshop is about reconnecting to the power of the feminine and embodying what it’s means to be a woman- body, mind and soul. Through yoga, meditation, ritual and ceremony we will explore our right side brain- intuition, creativity, metaphor, wisdom, empathy, dreams, art and synthesis- and discover each for ourselves what our femininity means, both individually and collectively. With the support of a soulful community of sisterhood, we will reject norms of “right” and “wrong”, and whole heartedly embrace what is true, authentic and meaningful to each of us.

YOGA
Balancing Body and Mind
April 8 – 10, 2016 (part of the Fire Season Transformation Cycle)
“Today, I recognized that the jewel-like beauty is the presence…”
– Rumi
Yoga invites the practitioner to meet the inner space with awareness, self inquiry, and curiosity. When one listens, the expansion of the body continually reveals new layers of emotional energy, patterns of mind, and ultimately the brightening essence.
This work with Adya provides a sacred container to rest in presence and meet whatever arises, shedding layers of contraction and attachment, embracing the simplicity of the moment.
Witnessing presence unveils a natural movement towards wholeness, where thought, sensation and emotion are met equally in the field of awareness, and the awake presence beneath the movement of life shines with “jewel-like beauty.”
April Price: $255
Yoga is an invitation to rest into the present moment.
It provides a solid foundation for a process of transformation.
Tyohar
quoted from Satsang
Adya
Adya’s graceful meditative style draws on a diverse range of influences and forms. She first trained as a teacher in the Vinyasa flow style at the White Lotus Foundation in California. Here she began a period of seven years of study and training while teaching at various yoga studios in California and Seattle.
While the flowing form of graceful Vinyasa is very present in her style, the soft restorative form of yin yoga brings a meditative aspect with gentle opening and melting into the asana. Here it is about surrender and breath, witnessing presence. While she has also trained extensively in pre-natal yoga, her most formative training took place at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Madras, India where she studied yoga therapy.
This work with Adya provides a sacred container to rest in presence and meet whatever arises, shedding layers of contraction and attachment, and embracing the simplicity of the moment. Witnessing presence unveils a natural movement towards wholeness, where thought, sensation and emotion are met equally in the field of awareness, and the awake presence beneath the movement of life shines with beauty.
Velan
Velan is deeply influenced by the discipline of Master Zhen Hua Yang, a Shaolin monk trained and guided in the temples of China. This lineage holds the energy of over 400 years, through the people who served as guardians of the Chinese Emperor. Velan shares layers of this lineage as a 3 dimensional form fusing Tai Chi, Qi Gong and traditional Hatha yoga to awaken internal power, vitality and stillness in motion. This form reveals a dynamic synergy between internal power and deep integrative moments of stillness. Connecting to the body’s innate wisdom, its desire to move and heal is the foundation of his teaching.
Unifying various styles into a creative flow of movement, he has been influenced through the study of Vinyasa Flow, Sivananda Yoga, and Yoga therapy With Simon Borg Oliver. He studied Ayurvedic Medicine in Kerala India, functional movement training in Sydney Australia and has anchored a deeper understanding of the body through the study of various forms of healing work.
In Pachamama YTT Velan shares his passion of Calligraphy Yoga, Ayurvedic principles of health and assessment, functional movement, energetic cultivation, healing and free form movement.
