The Re-Enchantment Retreat

The Re-Enchantment Retreat is a seven-day yoga and Yoga Nidra retreat at Casas Kismet, a private retreat property in Nosara, on the Nicoya Peninsula of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It is led by Yoga Nidra teacher Ally Boothroyd and Tiina Kivinen, together with the Living Yoga Retreat Team. It is meant for anyone who wants deep rest, less stress and a quieter relationship with themselves, whether yoga is new to them or a long habit.

What to Expect

The week is built around rest and attention. Days include yoga classes, guided Yoga Nidra sessions and restorative yoga, alongside meditation and mindfulness. Outdoors, there is forest bathing, time connecting with nature, and walks on the beach at sunset.

There is also room to think and talk. Journaling and self-reflection sit alongside workshops and group discussions, and the group shares meaningful conversation. Free time is left open on purpose, for resting or exploring on your own.

The name points to the intention. Re-enchantment is described as a return to wonder: slowing down, listening, and reconnecting with nature, with the body and with the wisdom already within you. The setting is Costa Rica's Blue Zone, and the practices are meant to work with that landscape rather than apart from it.
