YOUR PLAYGROUND...

We will be staying at Villa Mareas, a luxury estate situated on 36 acres of pristine rainforest, plunging down to a sandy coastline of deserted beaches. This is not your typical villa experience... Within the property's incredibly lush and green jungles, you will be able to stroll through the gardens and take in the kaleidoscope of tropical flowers, enjoy the wildlife, and follow trails leading to several waterfalls in which you can play and escape. 

Expand Your Horizon

Center Yourself

Daily yoga and mediation will give your whole body alignment, allowing your vibration to raise and match the frequency of the reality that you want.

Our amazing instructor, Yosef is a born and raised local living the true meaning of Costa Rica's mantra, Pura Vida (the good life). Read more about Yozef below.

Live In Luxury

Although we will be staying in the middle of a jungle, our stay  will be FAR from rustic. And although most days will consist of getting a little mud on our shoes, we will always be coming home to a luxury estate where you can pamper yourself with a hot shower & a  dip in the hot tub as you sip on a relaxing cocktail. The private estate has gorgeous and expansive living spaces - whether you are relaxing in an oversized chaise by the pool, having a drink at the bar, dining on the terrace, or chilling in your room... its open air design will always provide you with a view of paradise, staring out to the ocean and the sounds of thundering waterfalls off in the distance.

Soar Through The Impossible

The jungle becomes your playground on this tour..

Zipping from tree to tree on 10 different ziplines, one of them being almost a mile long! You will feel the fresh rainforest air on your face while you look out over insane vistas, and maybe even get to wave at a monkey or two in the trees along the way. You'll get to see the jungle from a view like no other when you walk along the sky hanging bridges cascading through the jungle like party streamers.

Upon completion of this tour, you will have conquered more "I CAN'T-s" in one day than you do in a week.

Imagine the empowerment this is going to bring into your life!

Develop A Trust Like No Other

Have you ever let go of the reigns in your life? Let go of thinking you know best? It's hard, right??

Allowing others to take care of you, or take care of something you care about is not always easy. We worry whether they'll do it right, as good as you would, and whether you're best interest is theirs.. Horses are known for being therapeutic, which comes from their keen ability to sense energy. 

On this tour where we ride through the jungle to a mystifying waterfall, and we allow these horses to guide us into THEIR territory. Your instincts kick in and want you to take control of the ride. Quickly you realize how much more you enjoy the journey when you let go of the reigns. Leaving you to learn a deeper level of control which lies in the power of letting go and having trust..

Instilling a trust in yourself like no other.. 

Jungle Hike

We will ease your mind but still intrigue your soul when we take a hike through the lush rainforest that surrounds the estate. Walking through a Costa Rican jungle is like stepping into a world where Alice in Wonderland meets Jurassic Park. There is something majestic about GIANT trees with leaves the size of an umbrella. 

On this hike you will see all sorts of different monkey species and other wildlife, and maybe even get to see the resident sloth!

On this day, exotic, will become your norm.

Play On The Property

What if your back yard was LITERALLY a Jungle???On this amazing Adventure & Yoga retreat it will Be!

This 36 acre estate is surrounded by lush rainforest that is home to tons of monkeys, toucans, macaws, lizards, sloths...

In what other world can you take an afternoon stroll and gaze upon giant jungle trees, a kaliedescope of flowers, monkeys hopping from tree to tree.. until you arrive at your own personal waterfall swimming hole???

Yes, there are SEVERAL waterfalls on this breathtaking estate,  that will be yours to explore.

Set that mind free!!

Get Molded Into Relaxation

Each of our guests will receive  a complimentary 1Hour massage from one of the local therapists.

We don't want you going home feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation.. We want you to go home with a natural high that will bring abundance into every area of your life. To ensure this, we incorporate the perfect balance of getting you aligned, stepping you out of your comfort zone, as well as decompressing your entire mind & body  

Life Coaching Along The Way

If ANY of what you're seeing here scares you, yet kind of excites you at the same time....Then, YOU SHOULD MOST CERTAINLY GO ON THIS TRIP!!!!

You don't have to be an adrenaline junkie to want to experience adventure; AND adventure can be, and IS practiced, in a safe manner on all of our trips. 

Coaching opportunities don't only come up when a fear of heights kicks in... Coaching conversations can & will pop up in many situations within this Adventure & Yoga retreat.  Scott pays attention and notices changes in peoples' behavior and is a master in guiding them into a positive experience while saying good-bye to their comfort zones. 

What comes up for others is helpful for everyone. You will go home with a new perspective & awareness of your patterns & behaviors which will propel you into achieving anything you desire.

Canyoning Waterfall Rappel

You will start to notice a common theme within our retreat. You will be conquering your impossibles daily and building up your sense of self each time. One of our favorites no matter where we visit, is a Waterfall Rappel Tour. There's nothing like feeling the power of mother nature thundering by.. and staying present in that moment so that you get to feel the cool breeze and mist from the waterfall, and take in the vista from an angle like no other.  

In this tour, we not only get to rappel down one waterfall - we have an entire  mother nature fun park with six waterfalls, of all different heights, to build that muscle memory in you for when you go back home and are challenged with an obstacle....

You will say "I CAN" instead of I Can't."

Closing Fire Ceremony

By the end of your week you will have a clear vision of which patterns and habits hold you back most in your everyday life. In celebration of discovering the best version of you.. we have a party in your honor..

A fire ceremony for letting go, life transformation, deep healing...

Let your inhibitions go as we celebrate and dance under the stars with a local Salsa Band and Fire Dancer! We already invited the monkeys and the sloths.... all you have to do is show up!

Secluded Jungle Beach

You will have access to miles of secluded jungle beach to explore and relax upon during your down time. Safe for swimming!

Ingest Only The Best

We know you not only cook everyday for you and the family, but there's that clean-up of the kitchen afterwards!!

We don't think you deserve a break.. We believe you deserve to be PAMPERED. You'll enjoy Farm-to-Table organic, gourmet meals prepared for you everyday, all day. This is YOUR time to be served. Much of Costa Rica's local cuisine is known to be healing. You will go home, not only rested, but healthier and more energetic to take on your life head on and in charge.

River Rafting

Thrill-Therapy for your soul...

When you have no time to THINK, you are forced into the moment - aka: "The Now"

We see facebook posts about it.... we read books to learn HOW to live in the present...

When we experience something vs. reading about it, we learn it viscerally, and it sticks.

The key to living in the present moment is to step outside the chatter in your mind. When you have no time to think, and the only option is to ACT NOW, like in this River Rafting tour, you automatically step outside your mind. You will FEEL this in this experience, and upon returning home be able to relate it into your everyday situations.

Delve Within

We (Scott and Nancy) are entrepreneurs, life coaches, teachers, professional human beings... living a life of sunshine and abundance from their sailboat. Through their own life experiences and education journey of self-development, they have become qualified in helping others overcome obstacles keeping them from climbing to the next level in their life - whether that means feeling a consistent state of happiness, having fulfilling relationships with friends and lovers, reaching the next level in their business, or gaining more money. 

Each of our guests are given the opportunity to take advantage of a complimentary 1 hour meeting with Scott and Nancy to gain insight into what could be working better in their life in order to produce more abundance in every area. They will teach you how to step into the life you know you deserve.

Poolside Lounging

Have you ever sat in an infinity edge pool and looked out into the abyss?

It's mesmerizing, healing, trance-like... and just one of the coolest things on this planet!!! 

Toucans can be seen daily from the edge of the pool as they glide in front of you to their “Manglillo" tree

At any point in time you feel like decompressing, the infinity pool and hot tub are at your disposal.

We will have daily visits to both, because we don't believe a vacation is a vacation without a kick-ass infinity pool!

YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE...

MEET SCOTT & NANCY!

We specialize in helping people overcome obstacles keeping them from climbing to the next level in their life - whether that means feeling a consistent state of happiness, having fulfilling relationships with friends and lovers, reaching the next level in their business, or gaining more money. 

When people struggle they often revert back to old habits that aren't serving them anymore, which therefore produce unwanted (and the same) results over and over again - ultimately leading to that feeling of "being in a rut" or "being stuck." We help people recognize their old habits and patterns, and show them how to replace them with new ones that will initiate constant growth and abundance into every area of their life. 

Scott has been guiding people into the woods on tours for 16 years and discovered that getting people to step out of their comfort zones is the fastest way to self-growth. Scott and Nancy started designing their Adventure & Yoga retreats with that in mind. Articulating every detail to bring out the most growth available within someone. Everything from a new group of like-minded friends, to discovering an exotic jungle will introduce a new perspective into your world.

Scott is a certified safety specialist. He has been certified in CPR, as an AMGA Guide, Rescue Climber, First Responder and is a Film & Television Safety Trainer.

OUR PHOTOGRAPHER & ASSISTANT SAFETY GUIDE

Talis, Scott's son, is an avid rock climber certified as a Climbing Wall Instuctor by the American Mountian Guide Assocation and certified in CPR.

 

Talis learned to rock climb at a very young age. He was only five when Scott opened their first Rock Climbing Gym. At seventeen his interest in climbing intensified to where he began competing and acquiring certifications which qualified him to work in any gym within the United States and teach others the art of rock climbing.

His keen eye for photography and film also developed when he was young. Talis attended the New York Film Academy for a semester when he was fifteen, and has continued developing his skills in that arena since. 

Talis loves the outdoors and helping people step out of their comfort zone. He continually develops his education in learning the safety involved in taking people on outdoor adventures. Talis will be our in-house photographer taking photos of our entire trip, everything we do. Photos will be gifted to our guests as part of our all-incusive retreat so that you can leave your cameras behind if you wish, leaving more time and energy to just enjoy.

Kind Words 

"Scott, Nancy, & Talis truly made everyone on their Costa Rica trip feel like family. There was an immediate camaraderie that spread from them to everyone in the group and we we’re able to both discuss serious topics and kick back and have fun from the first day until the end of the trip. Through the trip there were times when we found sanctuary in our invigorating yoga practice and other times when we pushed ourselves in ways that were quite adventurous. The adventurous things were much less daunting because of the connection and support that was felt within the group. Also, Scott has worked on making sure movie action stunts are performed safely for years and focuses to make sure safety standards are still followed in off the beaten pass locations. Few things really have a big impact on your life, but a trip with these folks can be transformative!"

~ Tom

"I wanted to try out a Yoga Retreat but all the ones I was coming across just seemed too much for me. I like yoga, but I only practice once or twice a week...  Scott & Nancy's was a perfect mix of yoga and adventure. I always felt capable and I was NEVER bored, lol! Can't wait to go on their next one!!"

~ Dave

"I never traveled alone as a single woman... I was very nervous for my first time to be out of the country and to an exotic place like Costa Rica! But the trip looked like it was going to be SO MUCH FUN.. Scott and Nancy answered every single question I had and guided me all the way from the time I booked until I arrived. It was really great to have the woman to woman connection and perception on things from Nancy, as our concerns as a woman traveler are different than a mans."

~Carey

"I'm not sure where I should start as I am beyond blessed to have such an amazing mentor in my life! True and honest guidance. Scott's knowledge and voice of reason has always helped me when I've had a hard time finding my way. When I need guidance I know exactly who to turn to. He is compassionate and listens wholeheartedly, but will let you know if he thinks you are heading in a direction of self sabotage because your old tapes are playing. He teaches you how to step back and see the WHOLE picture of a situation, so you can find your own way with his guidance. He never tells you what to do, but gives you different scenarios to think about so you actually can see it for yourself. I could not recommend someone more compassionate, understanding, loving, giving and of course knowledgeable to help you in your journey. Thank you Scott for all of your support and guidance. I am forever grateful!"
