Frequently Asked Questions:
Which airport should I fly into — and when should I arrive?
Fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José, Costa Rica. This is the main international airport and where your included group transportation departs from.
Please book your arrival flight to land by 2:00 pm on Sunday, December 13th. This allows the group to depart together and arrive at the property in time for our welcome dinner and opening circle. If your flight is slightly delayed, don't worry — your driver will be monitoring all incoming flights.
For departure, book your return flight from SJO on Friday, December 18th. We recommend no earlier than 1pm to allow comfortable time for the approximately 3.5-hour drive back to the airport.
Can I see a sample schedule?
Absolutely. While each day has its own rhythm and theme, here is what a typical retreat/business training day looks like:
7:30 am — Morning yoga on the open-air jungle platform
8:30 am — Gourmet breakfast
10:00 am — Sacred business session (3 hours with a movement break)
1:00 pm — Lunch
2:30 pm — Afternoon free time, excursion or spa
5:00 pm — Sunset flow or meditation
6:30 pm — Dinner
Each of the four training days is anchored in moving from vision and identity on day one through to integration. Arrival day and departure day are intentionally gentle. Full itinerary details are shared with registered guests.
How many guests will attend?
This retreat is intentionally intimate — between 8 and 16 participants plus your host Dani Wasson and her co-facilitator. This is not a conference. It is a close-knit gathering of wellness practitioners who are serious about their work and ready to support one another. Every voice matters

What weather can I expect in Uvita in December?
December marks the beginning of Costa Rica's high and dry season on the Central Pacific Coast — widely considered the best time of year to visit.
Expect warm, sunny days with temperatures between 80 and 88°F. The jungle stays lush and green, the ocean is calm and the skies are typically clear for stunning sunsets over the Pacific. You may experience the occasional brief tropical shower, this is the rainforest after all, but extended rain is uncommon in December.
Pack light, breathable layers, quality sun protection and shoes that can handle both jungle trails and beach sand. Full packing guidance is included in your welcome packet after registration.
