Costa Rica All Inclusive Retreat Esterillos - Alumni Only
With José Antonio Leal
March 22 - 28, 2026
DETAILS OF THE RETREAT
This alumni-only Costa Rica retreat is a rare invitation to step back into the medicine with greater depth and intimacy supported by the comfort you’ve come to expect from us. Being surrounded by others who already understand the work creates an immediate sense of trust and readiness that allows the journey to go further and deeper.
You will be guided by Medicine Man José Antonio Leal, whose presence you may already know. With 14 years of experience, José Antonio leads ceremonies with a rare blend of strength, clarity and grounded wisdom. Sitting with him again as alumni is a different experience, less about orientation, more about refinement and deepening the journey you have already begun.
Why an Alumni-Only Retreat?
- Sit with the medicine among fellow alumni who already “get it”
- Experience deeper, more intimate ceremonies with José Antonio
- Move beyond first-time exploration into integration, clarity and embodiment
