More Than a Retreat: A Foundation for a New Life
My first visit to the Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica was in March 2022. Due to the profound impact of that experience, I returned in November 2025, where I spent two deeply transformative weeks that truly changed my life for the better.
During my stay, I continued healing long-standing childhood trauma *while also processing deep grief after losing my mum nearly one month earlier*. Just as importantly, I learned practical wellness tools that are helping me sustain these changes without falling back into old toxic patterns, making my integration back into real life smooth and thoughtful.
What makes the experience even more powerful is that the support does not end when you leave the Center. Through the RLife App and ongoing weekly coaching, I feel guided, supported, and accountable as I transitioned home. This continuity made all the difference this time, and I am deeply thankful for it.
The daily practices I embraced—yoga, meditation, breathwork, journaling, a healthy and nourishing diet, and regular spa treatments—have become the foundation of my renewed lifestyle. These are not just experiences from my time at Rythmia, but tools I now carry with me every day.
I am profoundly grateful to the entire Rythmia team. From the administrative staff to the medicine providers, class instructors, kitchen staff, and maintenance crews, everyone contributes to making this place feel like a paradise. The environment is beautiful, comfortable, and incredibly safe and supportive—an ideal space to reset, heal, and begin a new chapter.
Thank you all for making what feels like a miracle truly possible. This was a genuine, life-changing experience, and I look forward to returning to the Center in the near future for continued personal growth.
Best wishes to all the amazing teams.
