Move together, awaken to connection

Its dance-led approach invites participants to explore connection with their bodies, the natural world and one another, with health and wellness as the broad frame. Retreat gatherings are associated with Yacumama Ecovillage in Ojochal, Costa Rica, where meals are made with organic, locally sourced ingredients and include vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian choices, plus chicken options. Filtered spring water, coffee and herbal tea are included, and the venue lists a yoga studio and free Wi-Fi. One detail to check before making plans: Mariposa Movement’s listed address is a suite in Roslyn, New York, while retreat materials place the gatherings in Costa Rica. Retreat prices start at USD 666, and travel to the Costa Rican venue is not included. Confirm the retreat dates, exact venue and transport arrangements directly before booking.
