Departures
Our yoga retreats and adventure tours are designed with recovery in mind. We are both in long term recovery from addiction, and proud of it. It doesn’t stop there though.
Everyone is recovering from something, whether it’s trauma, substance use, heartbreak, stress, diet culture, or just the disconnection of everyday life in our high-tech, capitalistic world.
New adventures
When you get the opportunity to go somewhere new, get outside your comfort zone, and create community with people you’ve never met before, that brings deep healing.
Nature
When you learn to live with more connection to nature, that brings deep healing.
Community
When you get to leave your labels and baggage at home and meet a whole new group of people who have embarked on a similar journey, that brings deep healing.
Yoga
Yoga teaches us to reconnect to the divine within us and stay present with each breath, movement, and moment.
People already on the path of recovery or healing who know a retreat like this can help unlock more joy and fulfillment on their journey. You don’t have to be sober; you can be in recovery from anything.
People in pursuit of an authentic, adventurous, like-minded community.
People who are sober-curious, yoga-curious, or just ready to explore a more connected way of living!
Yoga retreats provide vital opportunities for digital detox and intention setting. We want our yoga retreats to be accessible to everyone regardless of finances, so we also offer recovery scholarships.
We have the unique opportunity on this retreat, in this incredible place, to offer you an amazing tree-climbing experience on a private property in the cloud forest with incredible, conscious, tree-climbing guides.
Our biggest adventure in this biodiverse paradise will be tree climbing with ropes and safety gear, in order to get up close and personal to the majestic giant strangler figs, and a chance to hang out in the cloud forest canopy with epiphytes (the special plants growing from the tree branches), birds, magical clouds of mist, and so much wonder!
Our local tree-climbing guides come from the nonprofit project Palo Vivo! Supporting Palo Vivo helps bring outdoor education and conservation education to local schoolchildren.
Tree climbing will be fully supported with expert guides, ropes, and gear. A safe but thrilling adventure! For those who choose not to climb, there is also a glorious and more easily accessible tree net available where you can hang out, take pictures, even take a nap up in the canopy!
We will have vegan food and desserts.
There will be a few meals that are not included because we will be eating out, so you will have the chance to try some local Thai food!
