Respira Retreat in Costa Rica

REMEMBER YOUR SOVEREIGN SELF

Jan 20, 2027 – Jan 26, 2027
A Sacred Intimate Earth Medicine Immersion with Sam Norman and Krista Wissman

Join Sam Norman — registered nurse, Ayurvedic health counselor, and earth medicine ceremonialist — and Krista Wissman — initiated medicine woman and ceremonial guide — for a seven-day journey into the subtle body, held in the heart of Costa Rica’s Blue Zone jungle.

This is not a retreat you attend. This is a pilgrimage you undertake — back to the wisdom of your body, your sovereignty, and the ancient medicines that have always held the map home.

Retreat with us in this private 40-acre jungle oasis on the Nicoya Peninsula. Stay in an eco-friendly zen jungle loft, unwind by the saltwater pool, visit the spa, and be nourished throughout your stay with organic, plant-based gourmet cuisine crafted to support body and soul. The Sanctuary is the perfect vessel for the depth of work you’ll be walking through.

What makes RYSS different is what happens before you ever board the plane. Participants arrive having already completed a month of Ayurvedic preparation — you’ll learn the language of your body type, study the chakras, and understand the architecture of your subtle bodies so you step onto this sacred land ready to receive, and a little less likely for the experience to feel raw and overwhelming. Preparation is phase one.
 
Each day is woven with morning yoga, elemental embodiment practices, and Ayurvedic subtle body workshops. At the heart of the week, participants have the opportunity to work with Sacred Earth Medicines like kambo, magic mushrooms, tepezcohuite, and tobacco facilitated with trauma informed care and deep reverence for the medicines, ceremony, and the sacred  lands. Every ceremony is performed within a living soundscape of live ceremonial music that deepens and supports the healing environment. The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the world’s blue zones — a place where the earth itself carries a balancing frequency, and RYSS prepares each individual to experience and receive exactly that.

The journey doesn’t end when you fly home. One full month of weekly group integration sessions ensures that what opens in ceremony takes root in your real life. You will be held — before, during, and long after.
