Return to the wild this summer solstice

Registration for our 2026 Costa Rica retreat has now closed. Join our newsletter to be the first to know about our 2027 retreat.

At the far edge of Costa Rica, the rainforest meets the sea in a place so alive it has been called the most biologically intense on Earth.

This is where you'll arrive, not to escape life, but to remember it.

Our six-night Costa Rica retreat takes place on the Osa Peninsula, immersing you in both rainforest and beach and guiding you through our Five Element Method — where Water, Air, Fire, Earth, and Stardust each open a different pathway back to yourself.

Our approach blends ancient wisdom with science-backed practices that support nervous system regulation, emotional nourishment, and lasting transformation.

Your experience begins with a welcome night at La Paloma Lodge, then continues by boat into Corcovado Wilderness Lodge, a five-star eco-lodge accessible only by water and set within Corcovado National Park.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll experience ancient rituals, sound healing, cultural exchange, and full immersion in the landscapes of the Osa Peninsula – from guided rainforest tours to meditation in handwoven tree nets suspended high above the jungle floor.

You’ll remember what it feels like to slow down, listen inward, and be present with yourself. And you’ll leave with clarity, ease, and a renewed sense of purpose in life.

Our experience closes on the eve of the Summer Solstice, where we gather in ceremony beneath one of the most brilliant night skies to honor the cycles of nature and the Stardust that connects us all.

The Week at a Glance

Each day of our Costa Rica retreat is inspired by one of the five elements of nature: Water, Air, Fire, Earth, and Stardust. Together, they create a natural arc from releasing what no longer serves you to reconnecting to yourself.

Retreat Accommodations

At Moonwake Retreats, we believe that where we stay shapes how we feel. That’s why we intentionally choose secluded, high-end accommodations that support privacy, rest, and alignment with our values.

Night 1: La Paloma Lodge

Our one night together at La Paloma Lodge is a moment to gather and rest before heading deeper into the wild. Located in the remote town of Drake Bay on the Osa Peninsula, La Paloma Lodge is a boutique, family-run oasis where the owners have restored once-degraded cattle land into thriving rainforest. 

Each room or villa provides stunning ocean views, and is unique in character, built with thoughtfulness to honor the natural landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows, air-conditioned spaces, balconies, beach access, and a pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean invite you to rest, while hammocks offer front-row seats to the Costa Rica sunset. 

This opening night is an invitation to take a deep breath and connect with your fellow travelers before venturing together into Corcovado Wilderness Lodge. 

Nights 2-6: Corcovado Wilderness Lodge

Next, we travel by boat to Corcovado Wilderness Lodge: a rare secluded haven bordered on three sides by over 450,000 acres of national park and reserves, and on the fourth by more than a mile of breathtaking oceanfront. 

The peaceful Rainforest Villas blend modern comforts with true nature immersion: plush beds, the rare tapir or puma passing outside your window, indoor/outdoor showers, spacious air-conditioned interiors, and the sounds of the jungle all around. Between activities, you might cool off in the spring-fed pool, visit the full-service spa, or wander down one of the private rainforest trails. 

Corcovado Wilderness Lodge is powered by renewable energy systems, and every stay contributes directly to critical conservation and community development through their Every Stay Does Good program.

A dedicated concierge team ensures every detail of your stay is cared for throughout your retreat, from providing boots for your rainforest hike to arranging any personal requests.
