Return to Safety: Rewiring the Female Nervous System
Costa Rica | November 4-11, 2026 
There is a pace to modern life that requires more than our nervous systems were meant to hold.
The result to our health is disastrous.
This retreat is about bringing you back to a natural rhythm, the one you're body was designed for.
For seven days, we gather in the lush rainforest of Costa Rica to gently unwind chronic stress patterns, restore the nervous system, and reconnect with the deep intelligence of the body. This is not about pushing harder, fixing yourself, or performance. It's about remembering how safety feels in your body.
Surrounded by lush jungle, water, and warm air, we'll slow down and use the rainforest to regulate.

The Experience
This week centers around nervous system healing and somatic restoration.
You will learn simple, science-informed tools that directly influence the gut–brain axis, vagus nerve tone, stress response, and digestion — practices you can integrate into daily life long after you return home.
Each day we weave together:


Flowing yoga for vitality and resilience
Yin and restorative practices to deeply settle the body
Meditation to connect to consciousness
Free-form dance and gentle shaking to discharge stored stress
Breath practices and diaphragmatic breathing to activate “rest and digest”
Vagal toning through sound and meditation
Guided somatic awareness practices that build nervous system flexibility
A supportive digital detox to reduce cognitive overload

You won't be flooded with theory. You'll feel the shift happen in your body.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
This is part of your retreat. We’re bringing two skilled biodynamic cranio-sacral therapists so that each woman receives multiple sessions throughout the week.
Cranio-sacral work is subtle and powerful. It supports the central nervous system, releases deep holding patterns, and allows the body’s innate healing intelligence to recalibrate. Many women describe it as the first time they’ve truly felt their nervous system exhale.

The Location
Rainforest. Regeneration. Magic.
Our home for the week is a rainforest lodge and regenerative farm outside of La Fortuna, Costa Rica. Miles of private hiking trails wind through forest, farm, and open fields. The biodiversity is extraordinary — even experienced birders and herbalists are amazed by what lives and grows here. The lodge neighbors the world-famous Children’s Eternal Rainforest — part of nearly 250,000 acres of protected jungle. During our retreat, we will spend a full day hiking and swimming in this sacred, preserved land.
The setting:


An open-air yoga pavilion surrounded by tropical rainforest jungle
A spring-fed, solar-heated jacuzzi
A beautiful pool and hammocks for rest and reflection
Farm-to-table meals featuring produce and dairy from the on-site regenerative farm

Imagine practicing yoga while toucans call overhead, meditating to the steady drum of rainfall, and eating food grown on the land beneath your feet.
It is impossible not to feel your own restoration mirrored here.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for women who:


are strong and capable but feel constantly on edge
carry stress in the body (gut, jaw, shoulders, hips) and sleep patterns
want practical tools, not surface-level inspiration
are longing to unplug and reset in a meaningful way
desire both lightness and depth in their lives

You don't need to be burnt out to come.
You simply need to want to feel more at home in your body.

The Intention
By the end of this week, you won’t just feel relaxed.
You will understand how to shift out of survival mode.
You'll have a road map to regulate before meals, conversations, or sleep.
You'll have learned new ways to use breath, sound, movement, and awareness to influence physiology.
You'll be on your way to creating daily habits that support long-term nervous system resilience.
And perhaps most importantly —
you will remember what it feels like to be deeply regulated in community.
This is not escape.
It's restoring safety in your body.
And from safety, real healing can begin.

A Transformative Experience!
I had the privilege to Attend a yoga retreat at Samaa Living. It was truly one of the most beautiful and soul-nourishing experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and completely at peace. The setting was breathtaking—surrounded by nature, calm, and serenity. It felt like stepping into another world where time slowed down and everything aligned.

Naader’s teachings were absolutely incredible—so knowledgeable, kind, and well presented. Each yoga session was thoughtfully guided, followed by a mindfulness meditation at the end of each session. Whether you were a beginner or more experienced, everyone was met exactly where they were with compassion and encouragement.

And the food… wow. Every single meal was a celebration of flavor, nourishment, and creativity. You could truly taste the love and intention in every bite. It wasn’t just delicious—it was healing. Mealtimes were not only a time to nourishment, but also a a chance to connect with others and have some fun and good laughs.

Beyond the yoga and food, the entire retreat was well structured, infused with care, mindfulness, and a genuine desire to help people reconnect—with themselves, with nature, and with community. I left feeling grounded, inspired, and deeply grateful.

If you’re looking for a place to rest, renew, and return to yourself—this is it. I can’t wait to return for The Summer and Fall retreat again.

A Transformational Retreat Beyond Expectations
Attending the Saama retreat in Bigfork, Montana was truly an experience beyond my expectations. From the breathtaking natural setting to the depth and authenticity of the program, every detail was thoughtfully designed to create a safe, inspiring, and transformative environment.

The balance of reflection, community, and personal growth left me feeling renewed and energized in ways I hadn’t anticipated. It was not just a retreat, but a journey that opened new perspectives and gave me tools I will carry forward in both my personal and professional life.

I would recommend this retreat to anyone seeking clarity, connection, and meaningful transformation.

Unforgetable Samaa retreat in Puerto Vallarta
I am incredibly thankful for the experiences lived at the Samaa retreat in Mexico in February 2025. Not only was the food amazing, the location super comfortable & gorgeous in the middle of the jungle, yet so close and convenient for day trips to the beach, botanical gardens and fun surrounding options. the spa offered magical special treatments that accomodated everyone within the retreat program. every detail of the retreat itinerary and content was thought out and executed brilliantly and everyone left rejuvenated, healthier and happy! one week was the perfect time to really disconnect and reset- Another most precious plus is the wonderful friendships made and people i know will stay in my life always. i will never forget this experience and plan to join what will hopefully become an annual tradition to retreat / reset/ reconnect with one self and like minded people in friendship....... and good food and fun!
