RB & Soul To Sole Wellbeing Retreat

March 18-23th, 2025  Manzanillo, Santa Teresa Costa Rica 


Are you ready to make some time in your life for you? During this transformative retreat in one of the most beautiful ocean view locations in Costa Rica, you will reconnect with your inner self, find peace, experience real joy, connect with your real worth and truly empower yourself. 

The Experience


A collaborative retreat between Radical Broccoli and Soul to Sole Wellbeing. Imagine waking up surrounded by peace and luxury while Mother Nature activates your soul with her sounds. Bird song, monkeys, the ocean, and a soft breeze... close your eyes and just breathe.

Our venue is inspirational. Let your heart be open and filled with the power of the jungle and incredible ocean views.
​
During this retreat not only will you relax and unwind with meditation, yoga and delicious food, there will also be a sunset horseback adventure, holistic wellness therapies and a surf lesson. You will have an opportunity to see how the locals live the essence of a “Pura Vida” life. You will feel supported while you cultivate and walk away with a new meaning to your life of living in joy.​​ Carla and Anette will take care of you to the fullest, mind, body and soul. 
​
Before you arrive, we will connect with a free life-coaching session on what it is you need and desire from our retreat. This develops great trust before you arrive, which is key to your experience. The more you feel safe and relaxed, the more you will let go of what is standing in the way of your joy and awaken your soul.

The Location

Pictures and words cannot depict the true beauty of Calamocha Eco-Lodge. With breath-taking views of the Costa Rican jungle, plunging into the Pacific Ocean, you will feel at one with sweet and wild nature in the most magical setting.

​
Calamocha Eco-Lodge is a harmonious landscape at the edge of the divine. The monkeys talk, the birds sing and the winds caress you. You will be enchanted by the magical and breathtaking scenery.

"This was just what I needed. Such a beautiful space, people and exciting schedule, with a perfect balance between emotional work, new learning, fun, free time and connection to our inner voice. The food was absolutely delicious, the house and atmosphere was beautiful, and the crew was super loving. Just a wonderful experience that I will live on for a long time."

 

"The retreat was very transformative. I didn’t really know what to expect and didn’t think we would go so deep, but it turned out it was very needed and has actually changed my life. I’ve never experienced a community that has been so open and loving where so many share and are vulnerable because it’s such a safe space to do so. In addition the place was magical, the food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was so relaxing. A magical and life changing week ❤️"

 

"The RB team created a wonderful experience! The food, activities and workshops was amazing. There is a perfect balance between free time and scheduled time.
