Infinite Vitality Retreats

Recover Yourself:
Body, Mind & Soul

~ Costa Rica ~

March 15 - 21, 2020

When it comes to replenishing yourself, there's nothing like the healing embrace of Mama Nature to get the job done. And, where better to restore but in lush, bio-diverse Costa Rica!

WELCOME to the secret hideaway my colleague, Hope, and I found tucked away into the foothills of Costa Rica's highest mountain. Imagine immersing yourself at a truly exquisite luxury retreat specifically designed to support your transformation!

Here, for 6 glorious days you can take deep breaths, let your hair down, and restore your soul to its highest and best state…

Here, the “normal” world drops away and time eases into flow as you surrender to the rhythm of this natural oasis...

Here, it is beyond relaxing as you deepen into the landscape, nurtured by waterfalls that tumble into natural plunge pools...

...by an edible permaculture Mandala Garden connecting the plush tents,

and by a Food Forest providing exceptional farm-to-table haut-cuisine.

Hope and I are thrilled to be offering this special, little-known location for our 2020 Infinite Vitality Retreat after our successful launch in 2019.

~ Our Mission & Pledge ~

(And did we mention fun?)

THE INFINITE VITALITY PROGRAM
(9-2 daily)

~ NATURE RESTORES ~

When we are in Nature, we return to our nature...
Earth to embrace your being,
Water to cleanse your spirit,
Air to inspire your mind,
Fire to ignite your heart...

Before there was "Earthing" and "Forest Bathing" (popular in Japan), we were Nature Bathing. Scientific studies have shown that spending time in nature quickly lowers heart rates and encourages the brain to shift into the meditative Alpha state. Each day, we will guide you through walking consciousness practices to receive the most healing benefit from the protected natural areas that surround the resort, including the magical gardens, nurseries, mountain paths and rivers.

~MOVEMENT IS FLOW ~

New this year, we invite the body to release the stiffness of winter and integrate breathwork and flow through daily Yoga in an airy movement temple. This ancient practice enhances relaxation and mental clarity as well as strengthening and lengthening the body.

~ STILLNESS AS SANCTUARY ~

We will begin each day with the enveloping tones of the crystal bowl during a guided Infinity Wave meditation.

~ ANIMAL CONNECTION ~

There are ways to communicate and heal through gentle, pure animal energy. We will explore this non-judgmental wisdom and love through animal/human Reiki.

~ FOOD THAT FUELS ~

Before our daily lunch, you will get a taste treat! The Liquid Feast is much more than a cleanse – it’s a lifestyle. When the body is too acidic, it is inflamed and chaotic, making it a challenge to feel pain-free, healthy and peaceful. From the samplings of delicious Liquid Feast soups and smoothies using indigenous organic fruits and vegetables, you will be offered essential minerals, nutrients and oils to gently bring the body out of inflammation and into balance and harmony. This nutritional education addresses physical, emotional and spiritual growth while creating space for clarity and well-being. Benefits include: ∞ Renewed energy ∞ Elimination of harmful toxins ∞ Fewer aches & pains ∞ Weight loss without cravings ∞ Clearer thinking ∞ Better digestion ∞ Better sleep

Gorgeous and spacious, complete with curated amenities. Heavenly rainfall showers provide a view of the lush surrounding hillsides.

~ The Meals ~

~ What people are saying... ~

"I just returned from an Infinite Vitality Retreat...run by Barbara Slaine and Hope Fitzgerald. I definitely feel renewed and more knowledgeable about all the toxins I have been putting into my body. The love and energy from these two women amazed me and was very infectious. I felt a shift in the weight of my heart and soul, from negativity to positivity. I will definitely be attending this retreat again.

More about Barbara & Hope

Barbara has been passionate about health and medicine since attending The Eastern School for Physician’s Assistants in her early twenties. Since that time she has been a student of spirit-mind-body therapies and has obtained certifications in an array of holistic healing modalities including Chiren, Nutrition and Reiki. Barbara is the founder of the Liphe Balance Center in Weston, CT, a community haven for assisting people on their journey to well-being. Her center hosts reputable teachers, authors and practitioners from around the world who share their knowledge and provide resources and insights into health. She started her Liquid Feast programs in this setting and is also the founder of MyHealingRooms.com, a public service information website offering information on everything from stress management, music therapy, and inspirational books to holistic and alternative options for people diagnosed with cancer. She is dedicated to helping people navigate life’s transitions and beyond by guiding them towards the most conscientious, safe, and effective options available. To this end, she founded consciousdyingmatters.com.

For over 20 years, Hope has been a Spiritual Coach, Intuitive Conduit and Healer, helping people transform their lives. In 2010, she launched the Wave Energy Center for Conscious Evolution in Great Barrington, MA, dedicated to the positive, expansive development of the individual, the community and the Earth. Hope has led many workshops and appeared on dozens of international internet, radio shows and podcasts, continuing to fulfill her mission to encourage individual and planetary awakening. Hope offers her services as an Intuitive Dowser, a certified Neurofeedback Practitioner, and a "crossover midwife," incorporating sound, Reiki and essential oils into her work. Hope's healing works in multiple ways: as an Intuitive Conduit, she uses dowsing L-rods to access intelligence that guides a person in their choice-making; as an Intuitive Healer, she receives guidance from unseen hands to deliver energy to a person's body and soul, often resulting in an increased sense of unburdened well-being and overall peace. She also guides groups to potent areas around the world, including Peru, Chile/Easter Island, South Africa, France, England, Ireland, Wales and various U.S. locations. During these soul-filled adventures, she teaches ways to communicate with the landscapes, believing that when the powerhouse of the human heart interacts with a highly-charged site, an alchemy occurs that is guaranteed to cause a shift in consciousness.
