Light Your Life
We are incredibly grateful to welcome our dear friend, teacher, and founder of INSIGHT, Kevin Courtney as one of this year's retreat facilitators.
Amidst our well-loved and expertly curated LYL retreat experience, Kevin brings in over three decades of meditation and mindfulness expertise and leadership, providing a depth of experience rarely encountered beyond his sphere.
Retreaters will step into this week with an abundance of space, time, and thoughtfully curated experiences that returning students have come to know and love. The week will be layered with the opportunity to dive deeper into the subtleties of the mind, lending to profound shifts in self-awareness and perspective.
Our days will include the Light Your Life elements along with an opportunity to sit in meditation with Kevin, gaining insight from his commitment to guiding others toward optimal physical health, emotional integrity, mental clarity, and a profound sense of fulfillment.
Spend a week in community, with good vibes, good people, and good intentions on your path to the best version of yourself. Whether you are here for the sun, sand, and a little yoga, or coming to immerse yourself in a spacious, opportunity-rich retreat, we’re here to hold the space for you and have fun while we do it.

Your Experience
iLa Retreat: Costa Rica is a carefully curated week of our favorite life-giving experiences in Nosara. Since 2008 we have explored this land and shared in this community. In 2014 we brought our first retreat to Nosara and are grateful to be sharing this iLa Retreat with you today. Below are elements of our retreat, and are some of our favorite things to experience in this magical place.

Giving
Back
It is as simple as planting a tree. At iLa Retreats we believe in giving back. By planting trees we actively contribute to the beauty and preservation of beautiful Costa Rica.

What to Expect
This retreat is an opportunity to carve out intentional time for your self. To step out of your day to day routine and into a perfectly curated week of good times, life giving practices, intentional down time, community, and the opportunity to go deeper into yourself.
Most days will consist a morning meditation followed by a vinyasa-styled practice. Abundant free time during the day offers up time for you to relax, explore and/or play in the paradise of Nosara. Afternoons and evenings will offer up an opportunity for another practice or other facilitated group activity.
We have designed a week intended for you to access what needs attention in your life and deliver the tools needed to greet that place with care and enjoyment. This week is for you. We take care of the planning, yet everything is optional.
Each day, you will have the incredible opportunity to sit in meditation with Kevin, one of the best meditation teachers on our planet. Allow an unrestrained stream of consciousness to flow through you, greeting you where you are in each moment, bringing forth clarity on your path forward.
