Host Your Retreat

Allow Your Students to Immerse

Our beautiful center nestled on a rainforest-covered hill overlooking the ocean might just be the perfect place for your next retreat.

With no neighbors on any side, plenty of nature all around, and our unique curve-based architecture, your students will feel completely immersed in your teachings.
