RETREAT TO ENERGIZE YOUR LIFE!
Wake up to the melodious sound of Michele's flute as a special warm drink greets you. Outside of your window you witness the most amazing variety of colorful birds. Costa Rica has the most concentration of bird species on the planet. As part of our activities a professional bird watcher will guide us.
The Raja yoga morning session will be energizing and yet calming. The inner practices of yoga will continue in the afternoon to connect us with our true nature.
At your leisure you can take a short walk to the lake and use the canoe or kayak or ride a bicycle to explore miles of trails on the property or simply take a nature hike and enjoy the richness and the beauty of the nature and its diverse collection of birds and butterflies. In addition we have scheduled several hikes close to the property as well as rain forest forest hike to view exotic animals and birds native to the region. Also, you may chose to participate in some of the optional activities of river rafting in the renowned Riventazone River, jungle canopies in the world famous area, the Butterfly garden, botanical garden, coffee tour, horseback riding, or Turrialba volcano tour. Or simply rest by the pool and Jacuzzi in a magnificent tropical setting.
YOGA AND MEDITATION PROGRAM
A wholistic Yoga and Meditation program to embrace life with purpose guided by wisdom and an open heart.
The ancient Tibetan mantra Om Mani Padme Hum means "the jewel in the lotus". During this week you will unveil the jewel within through this authentic and time-tested classical style of Raja Yoga, which is inclusive of all Yogas. Beyond the  boundaries of the many styles of Yoga available today, this classic method of Yoga will connect you to your underlying essence. It combines the flowing physical postures, utilizing the breath with explanation of the Yoga philosophy and psychological aspects of each pose. Michele and Mehrad, with their balanced approach, will guide you through a consciousness-based and joyful journey into the heart of "Yoga" for the purposeful evolution of consciousness. In each posture there are different stages and participants are encouraged to use the level suitable for them.
For practicing yogis the session will serve to deepen your practice. For new practitioners it will provide you with a solid base and time-tested tradition from which to grow. And as you grow through these yoga practices, new opportunities and people are drawn to you that vibrate at your new level of awareness.
This Retreat will rejuvenate your body and still the mind allowing Spirit to brilliantly shine forth. It offers you periods of silence and reflection, as well as time for celebration as you create new dreams and draw new opportunities into your life.
The spiritual practices that we do - yoga, meditation and other activities - are powerful by themselves and when they are done in such a vibrant and nurturing environment the combined synergy propels us to new heights.
In supporting such transformation we are working with the five star chef at the hotel for a nurturing and cleansing diet. The gourmet menu is designed to celebrate the abundance of nature and promote clarity and vitality.
A WORLD CLASS HOTEL
Casa Turire is a haven of gracious charm set in the verdant, agricultural region of Turrialba. One and half hour from San Jose. From Casa Turire, you may easily explore many aspects of Costa Rica: its rich interior, from the Braulio Carrillo to the Irazú Volcano; its many, roaring rapids from the Reventazon to the Pacuare rivers to the mystical Tortuguero Rainforest.
Casa Turire has twelve delux guest rooms and four suites.These spacious rooms-with strong, beautiful wood floors, high ceilings, and private balconies-offer spectacular views of the surrounding hills. Each one is uniquely designed with elaborate furniture of locally cultivated wood.
The lake behind the hotel provides numerous activities. A dam on the Reventazón River forms Lake Angosto, which is an astounding thirty-seven meters deep. Casa Turire boat dock offers kayaking and canoeing.
The gardens are also spectacular. You need only to take a walk through the gardens of Casa Turire to feel closer to nature. Guests frequently observe tropical birds like toucans, orioles, and parakeets, and the pool is a relaxing location from which to survey them.
