About the Retreat:
Monique and Sheana welcome you to join them for an unforgettable 6-night (7 day) retreat at Casas Kismet, a stunning boutique retreat center overlooking the Pacific Ocean in peaceful Playa Pelada. We trust that you will experience the deep healing and nourishment of this precious land, which continues to attract people on the path of healing and awakening consciousness.
This retreat will be a journey into the heart through yin and mindful flow yoga, guided meditation, self-inquiry and connection to the beauty of the jungle environment. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the heart is associated with the summer season. When our heart energy (chi) is balanced and flowing, we awaken our vitality – experiencing joy, creativity, and compassion. Our retreat will include nourishing practices to support the healthy flow of chi through the heart channel. Our bodies will also be nourished by fresh, locally sourced, delicious meals prepared by Casas Kismet’s in-house private chef.
There will be ample time to relax, enjoy our private salt water pool and local beach, surf, explore the beautiful shops in Nosara or take an adventure tour.
