Welcome to the jUNGLE…

COSTA RICA 2026

Elemental Ritual IMMERSION 

The traditional lands of the Maleku people in the Northern region of Costa Rica teems with wild vegetation and a non-stop symphony of jungle songs. From the trails of leaf cutter ants crisscrossing the forest floor to the barreling sounds of howler monkeys, the nature of Costa Rica is a constant mentor. True to animist values, all of life from the smallest river stone to the omnipresent Volcano Arenal holds wisdom, perspective, and presence that can support our evolution if we take pause to expand into these connections.

Aligning with the intelligence inherent in the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Nature, and Air, this immersion retreat will nourish personal growth through attunement with nature via ritual arts, community connection, and reflective practices. The intent for the retreat is remember and embody our true nature by aligning with the nature of the jungle through elemental rituals and to emerge with a renewed sense of balance and power.

During this 5 night / 5 day immersion you will have the opportunity to consciously connect to yourself supported by the lifeforce of the land of Costa Rica. We will be warmly welcomed by the wonderful staff at Brave Earth, a “living lab” whose prayer (rather than mission statement) is: “to create an imprint of lived possibility in solidarity with all Life, in dialogue with the living planet, and in service to the collective transition.” The ethics of Brave Earth including regeneration, resiliency, and reciprocity mirrors the underlying theme of this immersion and is the perfect environment for a deep immersion into the healing qualities of the Elements.
