A sanctuary with a living mission.
Posada Natura exists to reconnect people with the rainforest, and to protect it through healing and conservation.
A family, a forest and a promise.
Posada Natura’s mission is to reconnect humans to the rainforest and protect it through healing and conservation. The family’s vision is to restore the bond between people and nature through holistic programs that nurture personal well-being, primary rainforest and pristine watersheds.
The story began in 1991, when the family purchased 1,100 acres of primary rainforest and founded Eco Era, a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to protecting Costa Rica’s rainforests. Posada Natura was established in 2001 as a place for people to connect with the rainforest.
Today, in collaboration with private landowners and organizations, the conservation network co-stewards more than 10,000 acres in the Cerro Nara watershed, home to the Naranjo and Savegre rivers.
Every retreat helps protect the land.
The Posada Natura team brings experience in holistic wellness, spiritual practice, retreat production and environmental conservation. The sanctuary is designed as a place where people and nature come together to restore balance.
Every retreat supports the work of protecting the Cerro Nara rainforest and watersheds. Posada Natura is operated by Eco Era and collaborates with Circle of Sacred Nature and Natura Care on selected programs.
Conservation figures are based on public information from Posada Natura and Eco Era. Contact Eco Era for current land-stewardship details.
Come for the retreat. Leave protecting the rainforest.
Every retreat at Posada Natura directly funds Eco Era, the nonprofit protecting more than 10,000 acres of primary rainforest. Join a retreat on the Naranjo River, or bring your own community into the forest.
