Libélula Retreat Center

My time at Libélula Retreat Center was deeply meaningful and truly transformative. From the moment I arrived, I met a genuine warmth and kindness that made me feel welcome.
The facilitators held the space with integrity and wisdom so that I felt safe to open up and go deeper.

There was a quiet, powerful transformation that unfolded—supported by the loving atmosphere and the surrounding nature, which felt like an essential part of the journey.

It’s rare to find a place where you feel so held, both by the people and the environment. Libélula is truly a special sanctuary for anyone seeking connection, peace, and authenticity.

The setting is absolutely beautiful — शांत, well-maintained, and clearly designed with intention. You can feel that it’s been created to support rest, reflection, and a deeper connection with nature. The surroundings are peaceful, and the overall energy of the place makes it very easy to switch off from day-to-day distractions.

The facilities are thoughtfully put together, with comfortable accommodation and well-kept communal areas that lend themselves well to group experiences. Everything feels aligned with what you’d hope for from a retreat environment.

What stood out most was the atmosphere, there’s a genuine sense of calm and care in how the space is held. It feels like a place where people can really reset and recharge.

I’d definitely recommend Libélula Retreat Center as a venue for anyone considering hosting or attending a retreat.

Im forever grateful that I recently attended a retreat at Libélula. It was my first time working with medicines, and they made sure I could experience as much as I felt comfortable with. Everything was thoughtfully planned in a way that supported my whole journey.

The support from all the team was very special. I had a challenging start, but there was always someone available to talk. Before the ceremonies I recieved a very insightful one-to-one which really helped with my intentions. During and after the ceremonies, they also offer support and treatments. Once I moved through the initial difficulty, things started to shift and the healing followed.

You can tell a lot of care and experience has gone into creating the space. Nothing felt random—it was all intentional. The team clearly know what they’re doing and carry it in a calm, grounded way.

The ceremonies are held by indigenous practitioners, whose music is something else. They play and sing throughout the night, and it adds a powerful layer to the whole experience that really stays with you.

The setting is beautiful—one of the most special places I’ve been. It’s fully surrounded by nature but still comfortable. Being so remote, there’s no light pollution, and the stars are the best I’ve ever seen. The food was great, and I appreciated how long the ceremonies were—nothing felt rushed.

I left feeling more creative than I have in years. It felt like something opened up, and I was able to process what felt like years of therapy in a much deeper way.

It feels like I came across something quite rare for a first experience, and I’m really grateful for it ♥️

What an experience! From the moment you set foot on the land you know this is place where magic can happen. From the structure of the retreat to the food, and the space that was held, great deal of attention was paid to every last detail in order to maximise the not only the experience but to also maximise the outcomes. One of the best retreats I have been to

My time at Libelula Retreat Center in Costa Rica was truly a profound and heart-opening experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt held by the beauty of the natural surroundings — lush jungle, peaceful energy, and a deep sense of connection to the land.

The ceremonies were guided with great care, integrity, and respect. I always felt safe, supported, and gently encouraged to trust my own process. The facilitators created a space that allowed me to go deep within myself, while also feeling grounded and protected throughout the journey.

What made this experience especially meaningful was the atmosphere of the entire center. Everything — from the way the space is designed to the presence of nature all around — contributes to a feeling of harmony and calm. It’s a place where you can truly slow down, reconnect, and listen.

The transformation I experienced during my stay is difficult to fully put into words. It was subtle in some moments and deeply powerful in others, but overall it brought clarity, emotional release, and a renewed sense of direction and openness in my life.

I am deeply grateful for this experience and for the people who hold this space with such authenticity and heart. I can wholeheartedly recommend Libelula to anyone who feels called to explore themselves in a safe, respectful, and beautiful environment.
