The Shankara Retreat Center is located in the jungle of Costa Rica, only thirty minutes from Dominical. We offer a variety of retreats, including yoga retreats, silent retreats, manifestation and gratitude retreats, and so much more.
We focus on helping visitors connect with themselves on all levels, mind, body, and spirit. We're unique from other retreat centers in Costa Rica because we don't focus on pretense—we're solely focused on self-growth and celebrating what it means to connect with the world around us.
Please visit our list of upcoming retreats and get to know our retreat center. We're excited to connect with you!
All of our visitors receive three vegan and gluten-free meals a day. Please let us know if you have any food allergies so we can accommodate you.
Reconnect to your body during yoga practice. Not familiar with yoga? That's okay, beginners are absolutely welcome!
Reconnect with yourself during guided meditations. Even if you've never tried meditation, you'll find that the Costa Rican jungle makes it easy.
Leave the nightlife behind for a little bit. All of our retreats are alcohol free, perfect for those looking for a sober retreat in Costa Rica.
