• The individual can expect a deep sense of cleansing and connection to themselves after the retreat.  During the retreat, they might feel tired and some emotions might arise as the cleansing progresses. Some may vomit and they will have many easy bowel movements.  Other things may arise… but that is why I am there…you have nothing to worry about whatsoever!

It is suggested that people prepare for the cleanse with a simpler diet, for at least 5 days before the retreat and to reduce or remove the use of caffeine.  If possible it would be great if people could remove the use of medications, since it is required to cleanse the liver.  Any dietary supplements will also have to be suspended during the retreat.

Directions:
Finca Mia is nestled along the Rio Tilari whose headwaters originate on Costa Rica’s tallest peak, majestic Mount Chirripo (13,500 feet elevation at its peak). The elevation of Finca Mia (4000 ft) has the perfect climate…cool nights and warm days, surrounded by lush forest.  With extremely clean water and pure air, the small pueblo nearby offers basic amenities. Our retreat center is wonderfully secluded from the hoards of tourists.

Spend your days on beautiful Rio Tilari for sunbathing and a refreshing swim. It is a welcome respite from the heat and humidity of Costa Rica’s beaches. The beach is approximately 90 minutes drive away.

Finca Mia is approximately a three hour drive south of San Jose International Airport. Shuttle service for airport pick-up and drop-off can be arranged upon your arrival.
