The Healing Medicine Retreat

This thoughtfully crafted interprofessional well-being retreat is perfect for healthcare leaders who want to integrate methods of healing into their modern practice.

Imagine becoming totally present in the moment as you notice yourself enjoying a relaxing sunset with your new soul sisters in one of our newly designed, eco-inspired gathering spaces, with the sounds of howler monkeys gathering their own families for a night of rest in the towering canopy of the sacred Guanacaste tree above…

…as your first day in Costa Rica, spent exploring the verdant labyrinth and magical spaces of Con Smania CR, comes to a close.

You reflect on a day spent connecting deeply with new friends and old, recounting your intention to travel down to the Central American rainforest to join the Healing Medicine Retreat — excited about the new tools you can’t wait to use in your transformational vision for your own clients!

You feel a sense of inner peace and deep knowing that comes with feeling empowered, committed, and supported to do your very best Work…

Releasing your blocks and overwhelm and feeling the happy-tired excitement of self-reinvention…

As you let it all go, feed your soul by dining at a jungle-side restaurant with your new Retreat family at the highly anticipated Chef’s Delight Welcome Dinner.

In addition to our expert-led sessions, attendees will enjoy daily movement, culinary medicine, and team-building experiences to create a foundation for living your best life.

From cooking classes with local vegan chefs to unique outdoor adventures, this is a vacation you won’t need a vacation from.  You’re guaranteed to leave feeling relaxed, energized, and with the tools to step into your highest potential.

Does this sound like you?

You are burnt out from the traditional healthcare model.

You are still dedicated to providing the very best care for your patients, but not at the expense of your own health.

You dream of serving those who are grateful for your help.

You love exploring the world, new cultures, and ideas.

…and you are excited by the idea of traveling to the rainforests and jungles of Costa Rica.

You connect with the energy of special places that spark the imagination.

You understand the power of seeking the support of others who lift you up and encourage you to be your best self.

You are ready to prioritize time for yourself to focus on creating the Business of Your Dreams.

A week to tap into the business savvy of coaches and consultants with decades of experience and thousands of clients between them.  These facilitators will guide your group’s journey, pulling back the curtain on what it takes to reinvent your career in healthcare, with the support you have been craving.

Connect with the group and meet potential collaborators, friends, and possibly even a business partner! Work with Blair to tap into a bigger vision for your Life’s Work. 

Experience how we facilitate an experience for establishing safe and sacred spaces and get ideas for hosting your own groups.

Join us to explore the area, participate in group experiences, enjoy locally grown and prepared meals, and give yourself space to grow into the fullest expression of your healing gifts.

We Hold Space, Within A Sacred Space, To Allow You Space to Grow.

What you are going to walk away with

So what can you expect if you spend 7 inspiring days and nights focused on reinventing your health and healing career in medicine?

→ The EXACT support you need to create a career you don’t want to escape from.

→ Connection with skilled mentors and collaborators to produce a movement that is far more than the sum of its parts.

→ Access to a mastermind who can support your vision.

→ Time and space you need to map out your business strategy and confidently take your next steps.

The Venue…

Tantalize your senses and transform into your best self in one of Earth’s most restorative destinations… the beautiful and lush Blue Zone of Costa Rica. The air is cleaner and fresher, the sun is brighter, and the energy is more vibrant. It’s the ideal place to activate your greatest potential and honor your deepest purpose.

You’ll join us at a property experiencing its own transformation… from hotel to retreat center:

Con Smania CR. The physical manifestation of the life’s work of our managing partner in supporting others so they can share their mission with the world. Each structure is unique and positively invites exploration through winding paths and gorgeous landscaping.

Bordered by our own landing strip and very few neighbors, this safe and sacred space is also just a 10-minute stroll to the Pacific Ocean.

Guanacaste trees shade the property and provide a home to a variety of wildlife, including howler monkeys, parrots, iguanas and so much more.

From hidden meditation spots to the grand and magnificent main building of Haven, there is so much to explore on the property.

We’ll also explore the local culture in the nearby town of Nosara for some fun and shopping.

Enjoy the local beach, wander through the rainforest, enjoy a body-work massage, or simply lounge at our unique and fun pool for the rest you deserve.
