SACRED PLACES: A 7-Day Immersive Retreat with Gahl Sasson & Elitsa Velikova

Nosara, Costa Rica
27 March – 3 April 2027
Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort · Nosara · Costa Rica

What Makes a Place Sacred?
Where the Earth Speaks Most Clearly

Across cultures and throughout history, certain locations have been revered as gateways between the human and the divine — from Mount Sinai and Fuji to Rila Monastery and Kailash. Costa Rica is one of them.
According to the Gaia Theory, Earth itself is a living being, constantly communicating through landscapes, elements, and energetic currents. Almost 100% a Blue Zone, Costa Rica is known for its people’s deep respect for nature, the ocean, and every living being.
We invite you to bask in the lush natural beauty of Nosara — to discover how to create environments that support healing, balance, harmony, and spiritual connection. How to make your body a temple, and your mind the Spirit that resides inside.
