Experience your mind, body and spirit like never before at Rancho Delicioso. Rejuvenation, Relaxation and a Re-connection to nature await!

You’ll be staying at beautiful Rancho Delicioso, an organic farm and permaculture center in the middle of the jungle on the pacific coast of Costa Rica. Here, we have over 150 types of food growing, many farm animals to interact with such as chickens, horses, goats, sheep, and of course our farm dogs and cats. The rainforest of Costa Rica where we live also have monkeys, parrots, and many other exotic animals that live at the farm too.

This week-long program will include lots of exercise, amazing organic food, trips to the beach and waterfalls, and is a voyage of self discovery. You’ll also have a couple of days off to explore the area by yourself or with your new friends from the retreat.

Personal Development Courses with Scott

1. Meditating and Achieving a Flow State – We will meditate and discuss how to achieve a flow state and explore ways to reprogram our minds for optimal production.

2. Removing our Jackets – We will discuss ways to remove the patterns or ‘“jackets” that have been created in life that hinder our ability to see our true nature : LOVE. This class allows us to explore and heal blockages in this life as well as other dimensions so that we may experience the authentic self.

Retreat and Surf Camp Activities3. Connecting our Heart and Mind – Breathing into the heart and releasing our fears can help synchronize our hearts and minds. We will practice releasing fears and replacing them with LOVE.

4. Discovery Dance -We will each be blindfolded and free to express ourselves in any way we want. With all that has been discussed to this point, we will notice less weight as we removed our jackets, we will see our angel, we will fill our minds with positive talk, we will cherish the transitions, we will feel our heartbeat as our guide and we will witness this all from our true nature of LOVE.

5. Putting Our New Intentions into Poetic and Artistic Form – We will create a poem and/or artistic piece as a group to empower us to take our collective learning/growth and share it. This will be a beautiful reminder of our time together.

Other Courses and Classes

Yoga Classes

Every other day we’ll have yoga on our beautiful jungle shala in the middle of the farm. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, you’ll enjoy balancing and stretching your body in this tranquil setting.

“Kensanity” HIIT Classes

Three times per week we’ll be doing some hard core exercise with Ken Jordan. HIIT, High Intensity Interval Training, burns more calories, builds strength, and is better for longevity than probably any other form of exercise.

No trip to Costa Rica would be complete without a chance to dive in, balance your body, and feel the power of the ocean. We’ll head to the beach for waves and surf three times each week. Click here to read about some of the area’s best surf spots: Surf Spots Near Rancho Delicioso.

Whether it’s composting, planting garden beds, or understanding the relationship between nature and people, the powerful ideas of permaculture prepare will revolutionize your thinking about how our lives can connect with the earth.

Healthy Cooking Courses

It’s impossible to be healthy without eating right, but what does that really mean? Our chefs will teach you some basics of simple healthy cooking, which is one of the best skills you can ever learn to love.

Cob House ConstructionNatural Building Workshop

In this class you’ll get hands-on experience building a beautiful house made from clay, sand, sticks, and other materials, mostly from the home site itself.

Aerial Silk Basics

Ever wonder what it’s like to dance in the air? Our workshop teaches how to move with the silks, and is geared for the absolute beginner. This is a fun way to activate all muscle groups, while learning a few tricks to show your family and friends back home!

Archery Basics

Perhaps after seeing “The Hunger Games” you have wanted to try shooting a bow and arrow? Now is your chance to let fly a few shots into some hay bales on the farm. It’s surprisingly addictive and cathartic.

Yoga at Anamaya Resort

The yoga decks at our partner resort – Anamaya – are truly spectacular. With views over Montezuma and out to the ocean, it is a wonderful place to practice at the beginning or end of the day.

Montezuma WaterfallWaterfall Adventure

Montezuma’s famous waterfall will be our destination. We take a set of hanging bridges and jungle trail to visit this amazing spot, with warm clean water for swimming and huge trees overlooking. There are a series of spots to jump from, and the bravest among us may take the 35-ft plunge off the second waterfall into the deep pool below. We eat a picnic lunch at this spot, prepared by our chef, and this event happens right after yoga at Anamaya.

Montezuma Nightlife

On Thursday night, those of us who are up for it head down to experience “Reggae Night” in town. Although they don’t always play any reggae, we dance at Chico’s bar, watch the fire dancers on the street, mingle with the locals, and enjoy the unique scene that’s part of what Montezuma’s famous for.

Last Night Pool Party

An opportunity to chill with your new-found family beside a cozy bonfire. Enjoy our salt-water swimming pool to cool off from the tropical heat. Stargazing included! It will all have gone so fast, so this is a moment to reflect and enjoy the last night of the event.

Accommodations

Luxury TreehouseYou’ll be staying in our amazing “River Palace”, which is a 70-ft tall structure made from mostly natural materials. This amazing piece of habitable art is accessed by three bridges, and almost appears to float, twenty feet above the stream bed below.

This is Tarzan-style living at its most luxurious, yet it’s still basically a dorm, living as one big happy family in its three floors.

There are two private loft rooms at the top for people who want more privacy, but probably the favorite is our circular hanging beds, which rock slightly at night, lulling you to sleep.

All of this makes for an unforgettable experience.

Food at Rancho Delicioso

Organic Food LunchYou’ll find our food to be exceptionally delicious and nutritious. Our chef was trained at Anamaya Resort and still works there when not here at the farm.

We don’t serve red meat, but we do have fresh locally-caught fish and organic chicken grown nearby. Everything is mostly gluten-free as well.
