Stunning Natural Costa Rica at the Bohdi Resort, Nosara

Wendy took students to the Bodhi Tree in 2019. “The resort was spectacular. We are less than a 10 minute, easy and safe walk, to the beach (which also happens to have some of the best surfing in the all the world). The resort is elegant yet with all the natural goodness of being literally in the jungle. The howler monkeys live in the tree tops along with some of the most exotic and beautiful birds I have ever seen. There is a salt water pool with plenty of comfortable lounge chairs around to relax, read or enjoy new found friends. It really is a lovely place, which is why I am returning!”

Food

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included. The Bodhi Tree offers an array of hot, and refreshing cold soups; an excellent buffet of veggies and salads; organic chicken, fish and vegan options. Bodhi Tree can also cater to any palette as a personalized service to suit all your special dietary needs. Organic wine and artisanal beer are available for purchase with your dinner. You are also able to purchase fresh juice and light healthy snacks throughout the day.

Past Retreat Testimonials

“This was the most amazing trip I have taken. Unexpected emotions surfaced, connected with kind and compassionate people (especially the leaders) and was guided to be present and experience this magical place.” – Melissa

“This retreat exceeded my expectations. Wendy and Kathleen are inspiring, thoughtful and fun teachers and guides! They really challenged each of us to connect with nature and with each other in profound ways. I came away from this retreat feeling both centered and truly relaxed. I would recommend this to anyone looking for deep self-reflection, adventure, and deep connection to nature.” – Alicia

“It was great, I enjoyed all the nature activities and yoga classes, the food was amazing, the activities were fun, the nature there was just beautiful, and the locals were friendly. I truly enjoyed the nature connection activities and will try to implement them in my daily life :-)” -Jackie

“This was a beautiful experience in many ways: the friendships made, the natural environment, the personal growth opportunities (thanks to our amazing leaders), general relaxation, the wonderful Costa Rican people, the resort itself, etc.” -Anne

“This retreat was truly restorative. I am so grateful for the gift of slowing down and finding time and space to truly listen to what the universe was saying to my heart. I was inspired to carve out more space for stillness in my daily life and to truly tune into the messages I am receiving.” – Kim

The leaders kept the group welcoming, open and safe for all that wanted to share. The retreat did not focus on one thing, you kept things moving. Yoga, hiking, talking, eating….This was my first time going on any type of women’s retreat so my friends were so curious about what it was and how I liked it. I only had wonderful things to say, such a good group of women, perfect weather, fun activities, great introduction to yoga. Left me with such an appreciation for nature and all that it does for us. Thank you!

This retreat provided the most amazing space and energy to recharge and connect with myself and a group of supportive and loving women. It was well-designed, well-run, and incredibly inspirational. Wendy and Kathleen have mad skills and even more love and passion for what they do that infuses every element of this short but powerful two days.

“Attending Wendy & Kathleen’s Fall In Love With Life retreat was exactly what I needed to reconnect with myself, nature, and my creativity! Highly recommend for anyone searching to energize and reawaken their awareness to the beauty of life and needing a safe place to share and let go.”

“Wonderful guidance of deeper inner heart & nature connections! Wendy & Kathleen very synced towards communicating openness of body, mind & spirit allowing oneself to truly let go of negative emotions that we sometimes hold onto unawaringly! The Nature meditations & mandala crystal healings rocked! I felt & still feel the spaciousness of lightness & healing these two Goddesses radiate so innately”

“Two loving, kind, knowledgeable individuals who will do everything possible to guide and help one grow. The whole experience was incredible beyond verbal description.”
