Thinking of getting away from it all in March but dreading the planning that is required to put together a week of rest, relaxation and a good dose of fun activities? Does standing in long lines surrounded by hundreds of other vacation seekers, eating over-priced junk food sound unappealing and more stressful than just staying put? Or do you dream of going to an exotic location, but don’t know where to begin?
If any of these scenarios apply to you, how about trying something a little different this year?
How does joining other like-minded individuals and/or families on a trip to the breathtaking beaches and fascinating jungle of Costa Rica sound?!

If you are up for some adventure, afternoon excursions are planned - whether it is a waterfall hike, a trip to a local town to learn to make chocolate or to take in the local culture, food and entertainment, there’s sure to be something to satisfy your curiosity.
If you are looking primarily for rest and relaxation, you can forgo any of the excursions and instead go for a swim in the pool, lay by the ocean or find a spot in the jungle and listen to the fascinating sounds of the indigenous creatures or take in the floral beauty that abounds. If you are bringing the kids, programs are planned specifically for them as well - who wouldn’t love a nature awareness program in such a fascinating place?!
Last, but not least, end your day with some fun as Jay Schwertfeger, of Jay on the Drums, entertains and thrills with a drum circle on the beach. And you will have the opportunity to participate in your very own beach photoshoot! What could be better?
When asked Why Costa Rica?, Kearns replied: "I found myself while in Costa Rica during my last retreat - women especially forget about their own passion and beauty - our time is consumed with being a mother and wife - we forget to love ourselves which is where love originates. I have traveled all over the world and nothing compares to the beauty of Costa Rica - even the bugs are magnificent!”.
