The Return
Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica · November 2026

The Return

A luxury silent women's wellness retreat with guided green detox in Costa Rica. This retreat is conducted entirely in English; guests should be comfortable participating in English.

November 25 – 30, 2026 6 Days · 5 Nights · 10 women

Step away from the noise of the world… and return to the quiet power within you.


What this retreat is

Six days to come home to the woman beneath the noise.

Discover the transformative power of intentional retreating, where the journey begins with a warm welcome and a gentle introduction to the serene environment. Each day is thoughtfully curated to nurture your well-being, allowing you to embrace stillness, reconnect with yourself, and experience profound renewal.

01

Noble Silence

Structured periods of silence and reflective journaling to foster deep introspection. From the second evening, the group enters shared silence — meals, walks, and practice held without words.

02

Kundalini & Hatha Yoga

Daily morning practices to release tension, clear the mind, and restore energetic balance — breath, movement, and mantra to awaken the body.

03

Sound Healing

Gong baths and Tibetan singing bowls to dissolve stress at the cellular level — guided by Martha with harmonium, ancestral instruments, and singing bowls.

04

Green Detox

Plant-based, gluten-free nourishment crafted by a private chef — free from coffee, alcohol, flour, animal protein, and nicotine. Cold-pressed juices, broths, and whole foods paced gently across the six days.

05

Meditation

Guided practices including pranayama, Sat Nam, and conscious breathwork — a daily rhythm that quiets the mind and steadies the nervous system.

06

Nature & Integration

Conscious walks through jungle and along the Pacific, cacao ceremony, and free time to integrate your inner process and ground you in the land.

Nourishment

A green detox, gently guided

The green detox is part of the journey Martha curates — plant-forward meals prepared fresh on-site, cold-pressed juices, broths and whole foods, paced to the rhythm of the days to lighten the body without depriving it.

The woman who arrives
  • Mental noise and emotional fatigue
  • Inner disconnection and loss of purpose
  • Patterns of stress and overthinking
  • Giving to everyone but yourself
The woman who returns
  • Clarity, calm, and grounded presence
  • Emotional strength and renewed inner alignment
  • A deeper connection with your truth and life direction
  • A body that feels lighter and restored

Every element is designed to help you slow down, soften, and reconnect. You don't need more information. You need space to feel again.

Before you apply

Fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport, San José, Costa Rica (SJO). It is approximately a 3-hour drive to Manuel Antonio. A private group shuttle is included.

Noble silence is a practice of refraining from unnecessary verbal communication to turn your attention inward. You will still be able to communicate with Martha and staff when needed.

The detox is plant-based and gluten-free, free from coffee, alcohol, flour, animal protein, and nicotine. All meals are crafted by a professional chef with locally sourced ingredients.

No prior yoga experience is required. The practices are adapted for all levels. What matters most is your intention and openness.

The $500 deposit is non-refundable, unless your application is not approved. The remaining balance is due upon confirmation of your spot.

Please contact us directly to discuss your situation. We handle each case with care and intention.

Early arrivals to the villa are available starting at 2:30 PM on November 25. If you need accommodation the night before, we recommend a hotel near SJO airport.
