SUPPORTIVE NUTRITION
Taking care of your nutrition on the days before a ceremony retreat and afterwards are so important and can be challenging to attend to while traveling. Land here before or after your retreat and rest assured that we have you covered. Meals are mindfully prepared to abide by the recommendations of the 'dieta' period. Imagine feeling deeply nourished and not having to worry about that piece. Our culinary team has 15 years of experience of working with plant medicine friendly meals and our cuisine is mostly organic and farm to table.
NATURE IMMERSION
Our retreat center is nestled in a lush rainforest, alongside the incredible Naranjo river. The healing pulse of our land and the symphony of the rainforest will nurture your spirit in all ways. Just up the road is 10,000 acres of rainforest where you can hike to pristine swimming holes and waterfalls or go on horseback tours or whitewater rafting. And just 8 miles west is the incredible Manuel Antonio beach.
CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICE
Enjoy contemplative practice classes including yoga, meditation, and breathwork, lead by seasoned facilitators that are experienced with plant medicine ceremonies. Sessions are offered on our beautiful deck nestled in the rainforest canopy, overlooking the river. All of our instuctors have walked the path and know first hand how to create classes that are especially conducive to preparing for or integrating plant medicine ceremonies.
SPIRITUAL & MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING
Plant medicine experiences can be very profound and for most, the 'work' really begins after the retreat ends. Sometimes additional support can be really helpful during this process. We have a network of experienced counselors and licensed therapists that can be available for consultation. We also can arrange onsite in-person care by a licensed mental health care provider if requested.
BODYWORK
Nourishing bodywork sessions are available onsite to complement your preparation or integration journey. These sessions offer a powerful way to engage with the somatic dimensions of your experience—supporting you in processing and embodying the insights that arise before, during, and after plant medicine ceremonies. Our skilled practitioners work with deep presence and care, honoring the body’s innate wisdom and gently facilitating the somatic unfolding that plant medicine so often initiates.
ABOUT POSADA NATURA
Our 4.5 acre retreat center located on the central pacific coast of Costa Rica, 8 miles from the world famous beach, Manuel Antonio. Resting on the banks of the pristine Rio Naranjo, one of cleanest rivers left on earth, it stewards and stands at the base 10,000 acres of a protected, primary rainforest reserve.
Facilities
Expansive gathering spaces, ceremonial temple, yoga shala, multiple practice areas, a/c lounge & library, multiple sitting areas, dining hall, and a freshwater pool are woven into lush rainforest gardens along the river.
Tropical Gardens
The grounds at our retreat center are a colorful garden of ancient trees, medicinal plants, fruit trees, flowers and animals of Costa Rica. Meandering pathways through the garden create a sense of expansiveness while remaining close to the common spaces. Various gathering sites are dispersed throughout that promote peaceful experiences connected with nature.
Accommodations
Our retreat center accommodations are crafted to harmonize with our land and create a deeper experience of immersion into nature as an event venue. Built with stone, wood, and bamboo accents from our land, they create a balance of rustic and luxury.
