About this Retreat
Hi, my name is Lucia, a 34-year-old psychologist from Costa Rica. Throughout my journey, I've developed a deep passion for helping people strengthen their life skills, uncover who they truly are, and discover the beliefs and strengths they can bring to the world.
Mental health is a priority for me, and I am especially focused on empowering women and helping individuals build fulfilling careers.
Through my work and life experiences, I’ve found fulfillment in guiding people toward personal growth, and I hope that through this retreat in Costa Rica, I can help you connect with your inner self.
I want to inspire you to envision a new life in Costa Rica, a life that’s aligned with your passions, beliefs, and aspirations.
This retreat is more than just an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of Costa Rica—it’s a chance for transformation, to see yourself stepping into a new chapter and taking the first steps toward building the life you've always dreamed of.
Hello, I’m Gina, a 35-year-old originally from France with Sardinian roots, from another blue zone. I moved to Costa Rica a little over four years ago, seeking a lifestyle aligned with my perception of life, I wanted to embrace the "pura vida" philosophy and enjoy the vibrant culture and people here. When I arrived, I didn’t speak a word of Spanish, and learning the language became a significant journey for me.
I created this retreat because it was exactly what I needed: a fusion of traveling in a country rich with culture, connecting with new people, learning Spanish, and having my own space and privacy. In my journey, I met Georges Karam, the owner of Solindo Stays, who encouraged me to manage this beautiful location. Today, I have the incredible opportunity to combine two of my greatest passions: my work and facilitating the Spanish learning experience for others.
Costa Rica has truly become home, and through this retreat, I hope to share this beautiful country’s spirit and help others on their own personal journeys.
