Self-Care Retreat for Therapists at the
Casas Kismet Boutique Retreat Center in Nosara, Costa Rica
Only 10 spots available!
May 2nd – 9th, 2026
Reconnect, Restore, and Revitalize
Join us for a private retreat designed specifically for therapists in the serene surroundings of the Casas Kismet Boutique Retreat Center in Nosara, Costa Rica. It is a 10-minute walk to the beach and a 2.5-hour drive from Liberia airport.
Why This Retreat?
As EMDR therapists, we recognize the importance of connecting with our body and soul to unlock our innate capacity for healing. However, our commitment to caring for others often leaves little time for self-care, resulting in disconnection from ourselves.
This retreat offers the opportunity to reconnect with yourself, cultivate holistic self-care, and rediscover your vitality.
Our Accommodations
We will be staying at Casas Kismet, a beautiful retreat center nestled on a quiet ridge in the renowned surf and wellness haven of Nosara. This location offers a wonderfully private and intimate setting, perfect for our small group. The center provides comfortable accommodations ensuring a restful stay for each participant.
You will be responsible for your flight and medical insurance, but we will arrange and provide airport transfers and offer support as you book your flight to Liberia Airport. We recommend booking flights early, as they become more expensive closer to the date.
