Your Hosts:
Twenty years ago, Judith and Christine hosted their first retreat at Pura Vida in Costa Rica—beginning a tradition they carried through seven remarkable gatherings. Over time, life led them in different directions, each focused on their own work (and living 500+ km apart), yet the rhythm of co-creating these spaces is something they’ve deeply missed.
Their retreats have welcomed multi-generational groups, each rooted in a shared desire for deep rest, genuine connection, and the quiet luxury of time and space to simply be.
