The Experience
Embraced by the soft jungle breeze, be nourished by the force of the elements, the sun, the moon, the stars, the warm tropical ocean, and the lush foliage.
You can begin your day with sunrise and end with sunset if you like, or find your own natural rhythm, your own organic timing. Move with the pulse of nature.
Afternoons are free for optional excursions, exploring Nosara or getting physical by participating in optional snorkeling, kayaking, or bicycling excursions.
Experience "pura vida," pure life, harmonizing with your soul. Our comfortable lodgings invite you to completely unwind, watch the monkeys and listen to the birds.
Practice the fine art of doing nothing
There will be ample time to enjoy:
• Swimming and floating aimlessly in the warm ocean, a five minute walk from Nosara Retreat.
• Swinging in a hammock, siestas, community, taking in the spectacular sunset.
• You will return home recharged and profoundly rejuvenated.

Hands on Healing (Barabara Brennan) Sessions with Deborah Brackman
Healings are multidimensional and can be of benefit in physical, psychological and spiritual issues. I feel especially attuned to assisting in life transitions. We begin by talking to establish your intention for the healing. Then we move to the table for a ?tune up;? balancing, clearing and energizing the energy system. From there, we can work on specific areas that have emerged. I work on the energy field by lightly touching the physical body. The work is subtle yet powerful. One generally enters a profound state of relaxation in which healing occurs.
