We Want to Hear from You

Each of our trips are uniquely designed, tailor-made to fit the needs of your group. To start things off we invite you to click on the button below, answer a few questions so we can get to know you, and give us a day or two to get in touch!

Why you need this…

Life can get busy and burdened to the point that we deprive ourselves of the simple yet essential graces.

Sometimes we just need to get away, find our tribe, and be reminded of who we are; where we come from and where we are going.
If that does’t resonate, then perhaps a week of sipping fresh coconut water (straight from the coconut) in between epic surf sessions and unforgettable sunsets does!

We have carefully picked the WOW team and the location where this magical adventure will unfold. Every day on retreat will be filled with surfing, stretching, healing food, workshops, and unique experiences; from horseback riding on the beach to magical jungle waterfalls.

Prepare yourself for a week that will challenge your mind and body and expand your heart and soul. Learn to live abundantly, always ready for the unexpected and full of gratitude for the present, in the end leaving you overwhelmed with joy.

This week you have permission to…

BREATHE. MOVE. EXPLORE.

LET GO. CONNECT. HEAL.

& HAVE FUN!

Again we ask, won’t you join us?

What To Expect

  • Disconnect

    Give yourself permission to turn off the notifications as you immerse yourself in this pristine wonderland of palm fringed beaches and wild jungle waterfalls. Leave behind what doesn’t serve you and indulge your senses outdoors with fresh air, plenty of sun along with the sights and sounds of nature.

  • Move

    From mental health to physical strength, movement has a myriad of benefits for the mind, body, and soul, and let’s face it, most of us don’t do enough of it. While we definitely keep things moving, we do it in a way that feels natural and fun rather than forced and exhaustive.

  • Grow

    We jump at opportunities to learn more, embrace new habits, let go of old stories, say no to patterns that do not serve us, and yes to truth. We affirm value, realize purpose, and pursue our destiny as together we progress on the path to becoming the people we were created to be.

  • Play

    Research shows that play is our brain’s favorite way of learning and almost all creativity comes from purposeful play. Play is not just about having fun but taking risks, experimenting, and testing boundaries. We invite you and your inner child to join us as we run, swim, jump, dig, dance, smile, and laugh our way through paradise.

  • Connect

    Whether we’re sharing meals, up late sharing stories, or gathered in prayer & worship we believe in doing life together. Community is key here and our hearts are as open as our arms to invite, welcome, listen, accept, embrace and support, whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for another adventure.

  • Give

    While we want you to soak in all the goodness that comes with our amazing retreat experience, we also invite you to receive by giving back as we show love and support for our local communities through service projects and donations.

Surf Better

We welcome and cater to surfers of all levels. Whether beginner or experienced you’ll receive personalized coaching and tips to improve technique and skill from your current level.

While we always surf together as a tribe, we’ll work with you on an individual basis to identify your goals for the week, equipping you with the tools and providing support needed to achieve them.

 

Made to Move

During your stay we invite you to move with us through a series of sessions and workshops focused on stretching, breath work, and meditation. These gentle and accessible exercises are designed to prepare your mind and body for time in the ocean as well as help heal and rejuvenate after surfing.

In addition our daily routine will have you feeling stronger, more flexible, aware and in tune with your body as we move about and explore the natural landscape.

Celebrate Creation

A place where jaguars roam the rainforest, scarlet macaws and toucans fill the treetops and humpback whales find shelter along the coast with their young, Osa is our Eden.

This week we’ll be surrounded by an abundance of wildlife offering a unique and exciting experience while immersed in nature, one that calms the mind, heals the body, and brings joy to the heart. Waking up to the sounds of the rainforest and falling asleep to the pulse of the ocean provides a rhythm to our day and night more closely aligned with that of creation and our Creator.

THE SPACE

Where the jungle meets the sea

Nestled along the the secluded beaches of Cabo Matapalo, our jungle lodge offers a true off the beaten path lodging experience. Made of exotic rainforest hardwoods and surrounded by tropical gardens the rooms offer a blend of rustic elegance and jungle oasis.

Seamlessly blending into the tropical rainforest you’ll witness an abundance of wildlife including monkeys, toucans, macaws, coatis, and sloths right outside your window, and with the beach just a few steps away from the lodge, you won’t have far to go for dawn patrol or a sunset session.

While offering plenty of tranquility and escape from the outside world, the lodge also boasts some modern amenities including restaurant, pool, yoga deck and juice bar. We promise you won’t be disappointed…in fact, you may not want to leave.
