Owning a Retreat Center in Costa Rica: The Meaning, Balance, and Beauty of a Life Well Lived

" Having owned multiple businesses in my career, I’d say that owning a retreat center in Costa Rica has been the most rewarding. Not only because I live in, and own, a slice of paradise, but also because working doesn’t feel like work when I get to spend time in nature, immersed in valuable health and wellness practices, with incredible people from all over the world. There’s a certain magic here that is difficult to explain, and yet is what most people experience when they come here—guests arrive with the stresses of everyday life and leave lighter, more at ease, as though this place has given them back a piece of themselves.

Creating a safe space for people to find peace, clarity, and reconnect with themselves has been meaningful work, especially in today’s world, and supporting retreat leaders in creating unforgettable experiences for their students and followers has allowed this good work and healing to continue to spread far and wide around the globe.

What I’ve found especially rewarding has been cultivating financial independence and supporting the growth of so many people on staff, their families, and the local community. While running any business isn’t for the faint of heart, the retreat lifestyle doesn’t require micromanagement—just strong leadership and trust in an efficient management team, as well as the robust community cultivated over the years. The true value of owning a retreat is in this unique blend of purpose and harmony—a rare opportunity in life that I’m honored to experience, the ultimate pura vida."
