A Place to Return, A Place to Awaken

Solitude. Nature. Unmatched Serenity.

Awaken with the calls of tropical birds, wander to the pristine sands of Playa Barrigona, Samara, Carrillo, and close your evenings beneath a canopy of starlight. Amidst acres of untouched rainforest lies a sanctuary where the wild beauty of Costa Rica meets the stillness of the Dao.

The Heart of the Retreat

  • Dream it.


    This Costa Rica retreat is more than a training; it is a threshold.
    The Rhythm of the Retreat
    Begin each morning by learning the beautiful art — moving with grace, grounding into presence, and awakening your energy.
    The day then opens wide, offering you abundant free time to explore hidden beaches, wander jungle trails, or simply rest at your leisure.
    As the sun softens, we gather again for evening training, deepening the practice with Taoist talks that nourish the spirit and expand awareness.

  • Nourish

    Nourish body and mind.
    Savor vibrant, fresh local foods — natural, seasonal, and deeply restorative. Each meal is an offering from the land, awakening vitality, aligning you with the rhythms of the earth, and supporting your inner journey of transformation.

  • Rediscover

    Unlock Wudang's Secrets in Paradise!

    This retreat is graced by the presence of Master Ismet Himmet (You Li Han) — a world-renowned Wudang Daoist adept, celebrated for bringing the essence of Taiji, Kung Fu, and Internal Alchemy to life with unparalleled clarity and power.

    Students travel across continents to study with him. His teachings are not simply techniques — they are transmissions, living bridges into the heart of Wudang’s Daoist tradition. To learn from him is to step into a lineage carried with authenticity, precision, and spirit.

    Now, for the first time, he brings this sacred transmission to Costa Rica.
    This is your rare chance to stand in the presence of a true teacher, to receive guidance that awakens your art and transforms your being.
