wildlife. Luna Lodge provides superb facilities for organized retreats

With over 1600 square feet of covered open-air space, the Retreat
Center can accommodate large groups who wish to explore activities such
as Yoga, Tai Chi, Nia, massage therapy, and aromatherapy. The solitude
of the rainforest surroundings is also great for language study,
creative writing, meditation, guided relaxation, vocalization, and
business workshops that need meeting space- any activity that would be
enhanced by solitude and privacy. Other convenient amenities include
equipment storage space, two bathrooms, and a shower. In addition, our
large restaurant building with a fully staffed kitchen provides ample
space for meetings, workshops, and dining.

Leaving our "lives" behind for 9 days will help us to recharge our souls and rediscover our authentic selves. Change your perspective--change your life! You may find that our added amenities such as a complimentary hour massage, a tour of Corcovado National Park, a Waterfall and Rainforest Tour, three AMAZING homemade meals a day (vegan and vegetarian options always available), boogie boarding, or simply a meditative walk on the beach is all you need to quiet your mind and send you along a path of renewal.
