About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

An intimate gathering for 35 guests, The Walk Home is a collaborative journey with East Forest, who will provide live musical accompaniment to Reunion’s programming to create a truly immersive experience. To complement our ceremonies together, we will utilize a series of embodiment practices guided by an experienced team - including breathwork, meditation, movement, dance, and integration circles.
Our week together at Reunion will help us build practices that strengthen our mind, body, and soul by tapping into our heart’s wisdom. Designed to guide you through a transformative experience, we will spend time in deep self-reflection to spark personal growth. All facets of the week reflect the intention of reuniting with ourselves, coming back to who we are - our true essence.
Throughout our journey, we will have the unique opportunity to experience multiple deeply moving East Forest performances, including both live and unreleased music. Together, we look forward to welcoming you to Reunion, A Place to Ignite Life.

Directions

Arriving for Your Journey

Please do not book your flights until you register for a journey and your Intake Form is approved.

We offer paid group shuttle pick-up on Day 1 of your journey at 2:30 pm (for a 3:00 pm sharp departure) from the Liberia Airport (LIR) and the Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport. The Hilton Garden Inn is 15 minutes from LIR Airport. The Hilton Garden Inn offers complimentary group shuttle transportation to/from LIR Airport.

If you plan to fly in on Day 1 of your journey, your flight must land by 12:00 pm Costa Rica time on Day 1 in order to leave yourself enough time for customs (could take up to 2 hours) for the 2:30 pm shuttle meet-up. We recommend arriving the day before in order to ensure a smooth arrival and give you time to relax and settle in before beginning your journey. Reunion has a preferred rate with the Hilton Garden Inn and instructions for booking will be provided after registration.

You will arrive at Reunion after an approximately 1.5-hour ride through the beautiful sights of Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

Departing After Your Journey

We offer paid group shuttle drop-off to the Hilton Garden Inn or Liberia Airport (LIR) on the final day of your journey. You will arrive back to the airport by 11:30 am.

Check-out at Reunion will be at 10:00 am on the final day of your journey. You may depart directly from Reunion using separate transportation (at an additional cost to you).

We recommend departing at least 1 day after your journey ends. However, if you must fly out on the same day, your flight must depart no earlier than 1:30 pm Costa Rica time .

We believe that the land we steward is unique and induces a sense of serenity, safety and nourishment.

Good idea gone bad
I was so excited about this retreat but then things happened and it got derailed and we were not treated correctly. There were 11 of us and 4 people left mid week. They didn't feel safe and we had concerns about what was put in the tea the rest of us tried to speak to the 4 facilitators about our concerns and what happened and they seemed to take it ok but then the next day we were pulled into a meeting where the tone had changed and they read this ridiculous email from the owner that said he didn't appreciate the treatment of his staff and offered us all 50 percent refund to leave. We were told this is not a discussion and we had to decide right then and shuttles would be there at 5 pm. If I was by myself I would have left because this came out of nowhere and was rude. But I was with a friend who wanted to stay. I also found them not accessible or really interested in us. I like trying mushrooms in a closed, monitored environment but didn't enjoy this retreat.

Most fascinating experience!!!!
I had no idea what to expect and I could never have thought it would be so profound. I left a different person releasing so much fear, judgement, sadness and negative thinking. I tapped into pure love, peace and gratitude. I am so much more grounded and with self control over my habits of eating, drinking and other self care e.g. exercise/yoga, prayer and meditation. Everyone at Reunion is beautiful inside and out. They are loving and professional. They have thought of every detail for your comfort and care. The soulful Shaman introduces a 5000 yr old ceremony that he has shared for thirty years in an effort to spread the powerful medicine of love to the world. The location has Pacific Ocean beach front adding to the beautiful property. I wish everyone could experience Reunion. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Oceans of love.🩷Cj
