The Light Within

A Journey from Struggle to Strength

An all-inclusive 7-day Healing & Renewal Retreat at Costa Rica. Reconnect with nature, heal from within, and rediscover your inner light. We use the land, the energy of Costa Rica to transform and heal — hike a waterfall, release in the rivers, and let the earth’s power embrace your emotional releases.

Overview

The Light Within, hosted at Verdesana Lodge in the heart of Costa Rica, offers a transformative journey—a journey from struggle to strength, from depletion to abundance, and from darkness to light.

The land itself reflects this renewal. Once overused and barren, it has been lovingly restored into a lush, vibrant sanctuary. Its story mirrors the transformation you’ll experience here—a reminder that healing is always possible.

Why Costa Rica?


Costa Rica offers something truly unique — a perfect blend of natural beauty, powerful energy, and a spirit of peace you can’t find anywhere else.

From lush rainforests and sacred waterfalls to the grounding presence of the earth, this land holds a transformative magic that supports deep healing and renewal. It’s a place where nature and soul align, creating an experience unlike any other.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
– Gautama Buddha

Healing begins with self-compassion. Our retreat is a sanctuary where you can honor your journey, embrace your worth, and grow with kindness and care.

Step Into Your Own Story of Transformation

At Verdesana Lodge in the heart of Costa Rica, a powerful journey awaits you—a journey from struggle to strength, from depletion to abundance, and from darkness to light. This retreat is more than an escape; it’s a chance to reclaim your inner power, rewrite your story, and rise stronger than before.

The land itself reflects this transformation. Once overused and barren, it has been lovingly restored into a lush, vibrant sanctuary. Its story of renewal mirrors the journey you’ll embark on—a reminder that healing is always possible.
