Costa Rica

Join me in…

Let’s retreat together

There's a particular kind of morning in Costa Rica; the ocean opening up as the sun clears the ridge, the sounds of the birds and the monkeys awakening, and the jungle and fruit trees pressing in close on every side.

After living here for six years, the magic of this place still swells my heart. It is also where I wrote the first words of my book, Pathways to Self.

It is why I knew, when I co-founded the luxury retreat space ORA Costa Rica alongside my family, that one of our first retreats would be inspired by the steps that I personally took when I arrived in Nosara unknowing of the transformation that lay ahead of me.

Whether you've read Pathways to Self, need some time for self care and reflection, or you're carrying the question of what's next, this retreat is your invitation to pause, refuel and remember.

With love,

Dana

Welcome to ORA

The environment you step into shapes what’s possible. At ORA Costa Rica, the conditions for real restoration already exist — the jungle, the ocean, the rhythm of the place. Each day starts with an early breakfast and movement practice on the sunrise yoga deck, followed by a warm breakfast and free time across ORA's luxury campus, the expansive pool, infrared sauna and cold plunge. Afternoons hold a workshop built around one of the principles from the book Pathways to Self, with the intention of bringing you closer to your inner truth and authenticity. Evenings always centre around sunset, whether it be from ORA's sunset ocean-view deck, Nosara’s pristine beaches or perched up above at one of the region’s top restaurants. Excursions, events, and a local's perspective are all included.
