Awaken Your 2026 Creative Vision Beneath the Bodhi Tree Retreat Center, Nosara
Where Costa Rica’s turquoise surf meets emerald jungle, sheltered by the whispering canopy of the Bodhi Tree Retreat Center, lies the perfect setting to give birth to your creative wish or New Year’s resolution. Whether you carry the seed of a story, are working on improving your health, attracting a partner, or have a yearning to manifest something deeply personal, this retreat is your invitation to shape it, layer by layer, guided by the ancient wisdom of Kabbalah, astrology, and artful practice.
When the Buddha attained enlightenment under the legendary Bodhi Tree, he proved what every wisdom tradition teaches: a single tree can change a life. Kabbalah adds that the Tree of Life is more than a symbol—it is “the everlasting blueprint for the construction of the universe,” an active map you can follow to create your reality.
This is more than a retreat; it is a creative pilgrimage — a seven-day odyssey equipped with practical tools that awaken the creator within
