A private retreat in Samara Costa Rica.

Our focus on this two-week retreat was integrating with local community as a means to slowing down. The culture of Samara Costa Rica is full of Pura Vida. People are living their life slow and full of joy.

On this retreat the children attended a local camp during the day. The parents and I hiked, went to beaches, meditated, talked, practiced yoga, and went deep into family lineage work.

In the evenings we spent time swimming, going to karaoke, eating lots of yummy local food, spending time with friends that we all made in Samara and communicating through art and writing.

This family took away the practice of doing less as a family, making dedicated time to rest, and getting more support at home so they can do all of that.
