Do you feel like something different, something special this Christmas? Are you traveling and want to spend these days consciously? Do you want to celebrate with love, joy, and intention? No alcohol, no other substances, just pure bliss with like-minded people? Shankara Experience feels you. They want exactly the same. That is why they decided to share their home, practices, rituals, ceremonies, etc. with you this Christmas on this very special retreat. They want to focus on the underlying idea of this celebration: unconditional love.
They want to bathe in love and joy this special time of the year and celebrate each other without any bounds of religion. You will celebrate with Bhakti yoga, the path of devotion, singing mantras together, practicing forgiveness rituals, diving deep into cacao ceremony and sound journey, gathering for powerful circles in the evening, and leaving space for some fun, and get-together time. In between the program, you will have time to enjoy lying in a hammock, taking in the peaceful surroundings, spotting toucans, hummingbirds, or Morphos, or taking a refreshing plunge in the rockpool down by the stream.
The Shankara Master Training Program offers a space for growth, learning, and true transformation. It’s an invitation to step into your purest potential, illuminate your path, and become a beacon of light in your own life and the lives of others.
Shankara Retreat Center lies in a very quiet residential neighborhood and is surrounded by nature. Through the property runs a year-round stream with a swimming hole. You can hike up the stream to a beautiful waterfall or just enjoy the cool refreshment in the middle of the jungle. There are plenty of chill-out spaces to rest, read a book, or chat with like-minded people.
Shankara Retreat Center has a yoga shala close by the stream surrounded by lush tropical forest where you can fully drop in, a sitting and chill-out area, various bathrooms, individual and double glamping tents, and a wooden cabin with two rooms, a kitchenette, and a bathroom. It is important to know that this is a substance-free property so no alcohol, no drugs (even if they are natural), and no smoking. If you need to smoke, you will have to do so in front of the property, at the roadside.
You will be served daily fresh and healthy vegan meals included in the price. The food is mostly sattvic and organic for it to support the practice of yoga.
Let Shankara Experience know if you have any allergies, intolerances, and strong dislikes beforehand. They can cater to most of them but will need to know about them before booking.
Book your flight to arrive at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO).
There is an airport shuttle available from the airport with a company Shankara Experience can recommend. It is 59 USD and brings you to Dominical, the closest beach town. From there, you can take a taxi or Uber, share a taxi with other participants directly to the center, or take the bus to Platanillo and then walk to the center (not recommended with suitcase).
