Natural Rhythms Retreat

Rest in Stillness. Return to Your Natural Rhythm.

February 5–13, 2027

8 Nights / 9 Days

Ecomaste · Tinamaste, Costa Rica

with Amanda Luna

An Invitation to Slow Down

Life can become so full that we lose the ability to hear ourselves clearly.

We move quickly, carry responsibilities, stay constantly connected, and continue pushing even when something inside is asking us to pause.

You may be feeling overwhelmed or depleted.

You may be moving through a transition and unsure what comes next.

You may feel caught in familiar patterns or disconnected from your body, creativity, intuition or sense of direction.

Or perhaps life is simply asking you to slow down and listen.

Natural Rhythms is a nine-day journey into silence, the elements, nature and the Spiritual Heart.

We begin by stepping away from external stimulation and entering two days of intentional silence.

From that quieter place, we move through Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether — experiencing each element through meditation, Qigong, breath, nature, creativity, sound and self-inquiry.

This is not about becoming someone new.

It is about creating enough space to remember what already feels natural, simple and true.

The Journey

LAND → EMPTY → ROOT → FLOW → TRANSFORM → OPEN → REMEMBER → RETURN

Day 1 — Arrival & Rooting

Land

Your journey begins with a gentle landing into the lush landscape of Costa Rica.

The first evening is intentionally spacious — an opportunity to settle into the land, meet the group, slow your pace and prepare to turn inward.

You’ll experience:

• Grounding meditation

• Opening circle and intention setting

• Retreat orientation

• Connection with the land

• Nourishing welcome dinner

• Gentle breath and movement

The invitation is simple:

Arrive.

Days 2–3 — Silence & Foundations

Empty · Listen · Remember

As conversation and external stimulation fall away, attention begins to turn inward.

For two full days, we enter intentional silence and explore the foundations of Hridaya-inspired meditation — observing rather than reacting, resting awareness in the Spiritual Heart and cultivating curiosity, surrender and presence.

These days are intentionally spacious.

There is nowhere to get to and nothing you need to accomplish.

You’ll experience:

• Hridaya-Inspired Meditation — stillness, witness consciousness and awareness of the Spiritual Heart

• Qigong — grounding and harmonizing energy through mindful movement

• Pranayama — conscious breathing for focus and inner awareness

• Yoga & Mindful Movement — meditation through the body

• Yoga Nidra — deep rest and integration

• Nature, journaling and spacious personal time

When the outer world becomes quiet, we begin to hear what has been underneath the noise.

Days 4–8 — The Elemental Journey

Return to Your Rhythm

As silence gently lifts, we begin moving outward again.

Each day becomes an embodied exploration of one of the five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.

Rather than learning the elements only as ideas, we experience them through our bodies, the landscape around us, Qigong, meditation, creativity and direct inquiry.

We also weave in the chakras and bija sounds as complementary pathways for exploring energy, awareness and embodiment.

 This Retreat Is For Those Who Are Ready To:

• Slow down and reconnect to their body’s natural intelligence

• Build or deepen a meditation and embodied mindfulness practice

• Rest and regulate an overwhelmed nervous system

• Integrate insights from therapy, healing work, or life transitions

• Begin the new year grounded, peaceful, and aligned with what truly matters

• Experience self-inquiry in a safe, nurturing environment

• Take a pause from stimulants coffee, tobacco, recreational substances, alcohol, technology and constant productivity recommended to take a pause from stimulants for at least 2 week prior and ideally continue or limit stimulants after retreat

• Be in your own energy: no sexual interactions with yourself or others 1 weeks prior and 1 weeks after

• Explore feeling lighter with healthy and delicious vegetarian meals.

  
  

Your Daily Rhythm

Our days have structure, but they are intentionally not overfilled.

The retreat is designed to give you enough practice to go inward while preserving time to rest, wander, swim, journal, connect with nature and simply be.

Testimonials from other retreats at EcoMaste:

"Immense gratitude for all of the hands that poured their love into this retreat.  My experience is one that propelled me to move forward on my next chapter with confidence & presence. I was reminded in the simple yet powerful act in slowing down to align our thoughts, words and actions so that we may move with integrity. Amanda provided a unique framework in guiding us through the Chinese Elements whilst moving energy through Qi Gong & Yoga practices. Amanda facilitated a container of open flow which allowed for flexibility and gave space to integrate. The personal practices and journeys were profound and transformative, in ways that continue to inspire me today". ~Kimmi

"What a gift to catch a glimpse of living in a jungle ashram for 10 days. I went on a beautiful journey straight into my heart space and got to stay there with no distractions from the outside world." ~ Greya

"Heavenly location, amazing facilitators. The facilitators afforded a lot more than the intended program. I feel I am going home with a clear head and lighter heart. Looking forward to future programs." ~ Sahar

"Hridaya Silent Retreat is phenomenal. Sitara guided us in a loving compassionate way. In the 10 days I met myself deeply, learning to be still and gain quietness again. " ~ Gal

"The Satya Ecomaste Silent Retreat was an incredible experience. The sounds of nature and the beautiful river makes for a magical atmosphere. Sitara did an amazing job teaching the Hridaya method. I was able to purify my spirit and body and eventually sit comfortably for 2 hours in meditation!" ~ Dale

"Hridaya is like a blend of vipassana meets a mother's warm embrace to the teachings of a heart-based meditation. It was the only experience I've ever had in my life that tuned me profoundly to my heart and touch a field of awareness where all my traumas/ stuck energies could safely surface and dissolve."~ Gabby
