Divina Vida 8 Day Breathwork Retreat

8 Days

Overview

Divina Vida Cacao Retreat in San Gerardo, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, invites you to our serene healing sanctuary for an 8 day breathwork retreat. For nearly 20 years, proprietor Lisa Morris has brought her lifetime in multi-disciplinary modalities to her clients. With its lush perch in the Costa Rican forest, Divina Vida produces a range of organic products. We grow fruits and veg for tonight’s dinner; we also have an expansive cacao growing field on premise. From this cacao, Divina Vida produces a wide range of products, often enriched with a range of plant medicines.

Divina Vida’s commitment to your healing and wellbeing goes well beyond chocolates! Retreats at Finca Divina Vida are designed to be intimate and focused. Attending a one-to-one retreat with Lisa let’s you focus inwards, on the things that are preventing you from moving forward in life. She is motivated to give her clients the best possible experience in nature. With 30 years in private practice, she holds space and allows her clients to discover for themselves the power and presence within. Her facilitators are hand picked and only one retreat per month is scheduled to allow for space and release from the land before our next guests come in.

Our processes

Intake / Prescreening:

An extensive intake questionnaire must be filled out by all potential guests. This is followed by a Zoom meeting online to discuss past experiences, expectations and ability to unplug from their everyday life.

Preparation:

It is necessary to inform friends and family of the remote location and social media unavailability. One week before their scheduled journey with the plant medicine, it is essential to move to a clean and healthy diet, as well as to abstain from alcohol, caffeine and THC.

One month prior to your journey, you must commit to removing all anti-depressants from your system.

Ceremony:

Administration of the plant medicine is done in our beautiful living room, typically over 5 hours. Music is played to enhance the experience. I am with the client the entire time.

Integration:

A great deal of time is devoted to the conversation of integration; preparation and the journey are but 20% of the experience. Integration begins on site with journaling and one-on-one discussion of the experience. One week after you have left the farm, I formally check in with you. A package of 3 integration sessions are offered or one-off sessions as needed. Integration can last for weeks or months and often requires the assistance of a coach during the difficult times.

FAQ's

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

A 50% deposit is required upon booking. This is fully refundable if cancelled within 3 weeks of a reservation. After 3 weeks, no refund is available.

How do you calculate dosage of plant medicine and substances?

It depends on the client’s experience, weight, and the particular species being used. I also use applied kinesiology to check with the client’s innate wisdom for dosage.

How do guests get to your retreat?

Flights are most convenient to San Jose International Airport (SJO); transportation to the center can be arranged through a separate provider.
