ABOUT THE GODDESS GARDEN

The Healing Force of Nature

CAHUITA, COSTA RICA, CENTRAL AMERICA

All of our facilities are in the middle of a centenary forest, allowing our guests to benefit from the healing power of nature. The yoga studios and ceremony space are surrounded by plants, wildlife and jungle trees, including the Goddess Tree, which is over 360 years old. During your practice, the healing energy of nature deeply relaxes the body, rejuvenates the aura, and supports the flow of life energy. We feel, as many others who have attended retreats here, that our spiritual practice reaches a higher level in this special energetic place.

From the property, a 5 minutes walk leads you to a pristine beach 10 miles long. The only human presence you will likely find is yourself and your mates. Many guests love doing their morning meditation on the beach, benefiting from the sunrise and the relaxing sounds of the waves.

ABOUT
Verdad Nicaragua
boutique hotel & retreat

​

Enjoy stunning views, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore from architecturally designed casitas with private decks overlooking the ocean, and rooms nestled poolside overlooking the Verdad gardens and the sea. Beautifully landscaped pathways link each of our accommodations to our gorgeous open-air yoga and fitness studio, our pool and honor bar with expansive views of the ocean and surrounding tropical forest, and our comfortable lounge area where you’ll find ample space to relax, play a board game, or enjoy a sunset cocktail.  

We built Verdad Nicaragua with an eye toward creating spaces that allow you to take in the stunning beauty of this extraordinary hillside in laid-back luxury.  You can expect all the comfort, quality and excellence of a high-end resort, but without formality.

About Your Guides

Shira Brenner

500 RYT. For me, a yoga, Buti Yoga, Spiritual connection, dance, embodiement class is so much more than just a class. It is an experience. From the music that orchestrates the movement, to the postures that align with the moon, sun, and stars, to the season and time of day, it is all connected and intertwined to be a catalyst for body, mind, and energy healing.

Yoga (in its MANY hidden forms) is just another form of dance, where you move to the rhythm of your breath and tap into the medicine of your essence. I believe yoga is one of the greatest healing resources we have and a consistent practice has saved me during the darkest of days. Come in with an open mind and a willingness to meet yourself where you are at.

About Your Guides

Shira Brenner

500 RYT. For me, a yoga, Buti Yoga, Spiritual connection, dance, embodiement class is so much more than just a class. It is an experience. From the music that orchestrates the movement, to the postures that align with the moon, sun, and stars, to the season and time of day, it is all connected and intertwined to be a catalyst for body, mind, and energy healing.

Yoga (in its MANY hidden forms) is just another form of dance, where you move to the rhythm of your breath and tap into the medicine of your essence. I believe yoga is one of the greatest healing resources we have and a consistent practice has saved me during the darkest of days. Come in with an open mind and a willingness to meet yourself where you are at. 

Veracious Healing

The Sacred Migration
A Yoga, Nature, and Mexican Culture based Adventure Retreat coinciding with the Monarch Butterfly Migration

Morelia, Mexico
February 2nd-8th, 2018
////SOLD OUT


I am seeking the nature bound, the gypsy spirited, adventurous yogis. We begin our journey in Morelia, Mexico’s best kept secret, a UNESCO world heritage site with more than 200 historical buildings all constructed from Pink stone, and a place of open armed, warm hearted people. There is vibrancy, richness, and magic around every corner. 

Morelia will be our home for the week, as we will venture 3 hours east to the tiny village of Pacheros, where we will begin our Monarch Butterfly migration experience. We will stay overnight at a quaint bed and breakfast at the foot of the butterfly conservation forest where we will partake in a moon phase ceremony, dive deep into the forest, and connect to our true nature. In the morning, we'll prepare for a guided horseback ride up the mountains of Cerro Pelon to bare witness to one of nature’s most incredible miracles, the Monarch butterfly migration. There will millions of butterflies. It is bound to be a life changing experience.

There will be time in Morelia to explore, shop, and enjoy the sights. There is so much to see and do that you might never want to leave. 

Our final trip will be Patzcuero. An ancient highland town with both a Colonial and Indigenous character and charm. The clean and crisp mountain air, surrounded by forests and lakes, set against the backdrop of azure-blue skies will leave you breathless. Together, we’ll travel by boat to visit the tiny Island of Isla Janitzio, where we will browse local artisans and indulge in an Indigenous style lunch. 

Of course, depending on the weather, and local events, there may be some extra surprises along the way. This will be an unforgettable, bucket list kind of experience. If you are enamored with nature, culture, delicious food, and striking art, this is the journey for you.

Yoga, Surf,
& Self Discovery
SOLD OUT
November 9-16 2017
Nicaragua
Playa Escameca Grande

Last November I took to my first surfboard ever having no idea what would be in store. I was totally scared and sure I wouldn't be able to ride any waves, let alone stand up. What I got out of surfing was SO much more than just catching a wave (which I can now do- sort of) What I found out is that surfing is so much like yoga.  It requires you to connect to your body, to go with the flow of the ocean, to believe in yourself, and to be fully present. It is truly amazing and I couldn't think of a better joy inducing practice to share with you than surf & yoga camp.

oin me for an unforgettable experience in Playa Maderas, Nicaragua, where we will see some of the best beach sunsets in the world, fall asleep to the sound of waves rolling in, eat fish tacos, and unplug from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Our camp schedule includes, beach relaxation at sunset, surf lessons from expert instructors (beginners welcome!), monkeying around, making lifelong friendships, and of course, daily yoga classes and healthy organic delectable cuisine. This trip will be all about embracing life, rediscovering your joy, and celebrating the moment.
I can’t wait to go on this amazing adventure with you.

Remember, everything is always optional, so if you'd rather lay in the sun all day and drink Pina Coladas out of a coconut, no worries! Just don't forget your sunscreen.

March 17-24th 2017

Join me for an unforgettable adventure in one of the most lush, eco-friendly, and healing places in the world, Banos, Ecuador. In 2009 I lived in Cuenca, Ecuador and completely fell in love with the country. During one of my travels, I visited the city of Banos

Unplugged in ecuador will revive your spirit, wake up your sense of adventure, and heal you from the inside out.
