RETREAT TO RECHARGE
W E L L N E S S R E T R E A T
I N C O S T A R I C A
February 6th - 11th 2025
Journey through the self with Ashley at Casa Luna, a spacious 3,000 sq. ft. home overlooking the Pacific Ocean, just outside the quaint beach town of Samara. Casa Luna is a family owned retreat centre designed with wellness at its core. The outdoor area features a large infinity pool, cold plunge, and a yoga shala with an expansive jungle and ocean view.
The retreat program is all about "pura vida" - living simply to calm down our busy brains and regulate our nervous systems. Each day will include guided yoga, meditation, breath-work and cold plunging, a holistic program designed to help you recharge, reset and connect. Guests can enjoy a mid-retreat adventure to the quaint town of Samara, where they can swim in the ocean, visit hip cafes and shops, or try add-on excursions like surf lessons, horseback riding and volunteering at a local dog rescue.
This retreat is an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, self-care, and strengthen your body, mind and spirit alongside a like minded community.

Davina + Daniel
Casa Luna is quite literally our dream come true. Nestled in the jungle on 2 acres of land, just 12 minutes from the beaches of Sámara, Costa Rica, with ocean views, a hand-built Shala, a private waterfall 8 months out of the year, and an abundance of flora and fauna... this place is pure magic.
We left our life in Canada in 2021 to answer the call to become the stewards of this land, with our two magical little humans, Max and Charlie in tow. It has not always been easy, but it has certainly been worth it.
This home and this land were never meant to be ours, they were destined to be shared. This is a powerful, sacred place, which has already been blessed with the presence of medicine people and gifted facilitators of the light, and has provided fertile ground for the healing & transformation of many.
“Ashley's yoga retreat to Tuscany was literally life changing for myself and all the other participants. Between the yoga, the meditation, the food and the breathtaking location, I actually felt like I got the break I needed to reevaluate my path in life. I highly recommend Ashley as a retreat facilitator! ”
