FOR RETREAT FACILITATORS

Host Your Retreat

Evolution Healing Center

A space designed for transformation

Evolution is a sanctuary for deep personal transformation — a space where authenticity, healing, and inner work take priority. We provide a private and sacred environment where facilitators can guide profound experiences. Here, guests are invited to shed societal expectations, embrace radical honesty, and embark on a journey of self-discovery in a setting rooted in tradition, nature, and genuine support.

Evolution is not just a place to host a retreat — it's an environment designed for deep, meaningful change. Unlike large commercial venues, Evolution offers a private, high-touch experience where every detail is aligned with the needs of transformational retreat facilitators.

Our Location

Costa Rica — a designated Blue Zone

Evolution is located in the beautiful country of Costa Rica: a paradise of bio-diversity, considered one of the happiest countries in the world according to the Happy Planet Index. There are only five Blue Zones in the world — longevity hot spots where residents live longer, healthier lives than anywhere else — and Costa Rica is a designated Blue Zone, making it even more special.

Core Values

What we stand for

Authenticity

A space where individuals and facilitators can be their true selves, free from judgment or pretense.

Transformation

Committed to personal growth, deep healing, and evolution at every level.

Preservation

Honoring ancestral traditions, clean energy, and the integrity of plant-medicine practices.

A retreat venue that supports facilitators

Many venues offer a space. We offer a partnership.

Retreat leaders often struggle with logistics, planning, and making sure their guests have the best possible experience.

Challenges hosts face

Lack of support from the retreat center — and from the overall event experience — for both you and your clients.
Unclear or unexpected charges that only become apparent on the invoice, making it hard to determine your actual profits.
Friendly staff, but lacking the extra mile to pleasantly surprise and delight clients and participants.
A desire for a venue with diverse landscapes — mountains, jungle, beaches, ocean — while still maintaining exclusivity.

How we help

Unwavering support for you and your clients, for an unforgettable retreat experience.
Clear communication and realistic expectations.
Loving staff who genuinely care about providing a high-value experience for guests.
A suggested pricing strategy to ensure you are profitable from the retreat.
An exclusive venue in a prime location, nestled in the mountains near pristine beaches.

Transparent pricing

Retreat pricing example

Pricing transparency is essential for facilitators planning their retreat. Here's an example of how costs might break down.

6-day retreat pricing

Local chef at $85 per day, per person · Exclusive venue rental at $975 per night

Total venue cost — 5 nights, 6 days	$4,875
Total food cost — 10 guests, 3 meals per day	$4,250
Approximate base cost	$9,125

Total food cost may be less depending on the number of meals and people.

If a retreat leader charges $2,500 per person, they would generate approx. $16,000 in revenue.

If a retreat leader charges $3,000 per person (industry standard), they would generate approx. $21,000 in revenue.

By adjusting pricing, group size and length of the retreat, facilitators can maximize both impact and profitability while ensuring a high-value experience for their guests.

Our services

What your guests can experience

Excursions

Nestled in breathtaking landscapes, enjoy various adventure tours that delve into the flora, fauna, and natural wonders of Costa Rica.

Steam sauna

Sessions offer numerous benefits, including improved circulation, muscle relaxation, stress reduction, and potential relief from respiratory congestion and skin conditions.

Yoga

Explore your style — from active classes that strengthen the core to passive styles such as Yin, which promote deep relaxation, better sleep, and stress management.

Sound bath

Crystal singing bowls and various instruments emit healing vibrational frequencies that remove blockages in your electromagnetic field, inviting a more peaceful, tranquil energy into mind and body.

Plant-based meals

Healthy, nutritious meals every day to replenish and revitalize your physical and mental health.

1-on-1 energy healing

This ancient practice unlocks the body's ability to heal and repair itself. Energy medicine helps dissolve blockages, making the client more receptive to healthier thinking patterns.

Ice bath

Experience the euphoria of cold-water immersion, where each dip invigorates body and soul — soothing muscles, boosting immunity, sharpening mental clarity, and rejuvenating skin.

Breathwork

Deep rhythmic breathing moves us out of fight-or-flight and into the parasympathetic nervous system, helping unblock and release fear, trauma, limiting beliefs, and stored negative emotions.

Massage therapy

Deep relaxation and mental well-being through deep-tissue or therapeutic massage — bodywork that fosters a healthier body-mind connection and contributes to overall vitality.

Good to know

What's the local currency and exchange rate?

Costa Rica's official currency is the Colón. The exchange rate is approx. 500 colones to the dollar. US dollars are generally accepted everywhere; if you spend US dollars, you'll receive your change in colones.

Are credit cards accepted?

All major credit cards are accepted in Costa Rica. Visa and Mastercard are the most widely accepted, with AMEX and Discover accepted in fewer locations.

Do I need a visa, and what are the passport requirements?

Guests traveling from the USA, Canada and many other countries do not need a visa, but will need to provide a return ticket or evidence of onward travel.

What's the electrical power like?

The country uses 120V, 60Hz current, the same as the US — so US guests won't need adaptors.

Can you accommodate dietary needs?

Our chefs are versed in many cuisines and special dietary needs and can accommodate any request. Please let us know in advance if you or your guests have special needs, diets, or desires.

Are there any medical requirements before I travel?

No shots or vaccinations are needed for visits to Costa Rica.

Do people at the resort speak English?

Everyone in the office, the instructors, massage therapists and all other staff members speak English.

Is Costa Rica safe?

Costa Rica is safe. As anywhere, normal precautions apply depending on where you visit. Violent crime is very rare; theft of personal property (from vehicles and high-traffic tourist areas) is more common.

How secure is the property?

Our resort is very secure — a fully gated property protected 24/7 with a Nexxt security system. As a standard precaution we recommend storing valuables (cash, cards, passports, tickets) in the safe available in your room.

Is the water safe to drink?

Yes — the water at Evolution is safe to drink from every faucet on the property. Countrywide water-quality standards are high. We also have a reverse-osmosis filtration system to fill your water bottle in the restaurant.

Is laundry service included?

One laundry service per guest is included in your package. Gratuities are additional and recommended. Additional laundry service is charged at the per-person rate.

Is there wifi and data access?

Evolution has high-speed internet.

Is there hot water?

Every shower is equipped with hot water (though you might not need it in this heat!).

How's the weather?

December–May is dry season in Guanacaste: hot and dry. Bring sunscreen, hats and swimsuits, and avoid the sun 11am–3pm. May–November is rainy season: still hot, but expect rain showers — bring a raincoat or poncho and a light sweater for the evening.

Do I need to bring my own yoga mat?

We provide yoga mats, blocks and straps, and can provide additional equipment (resistance bands, weights, etc.) on request.

Is there A/C?

Yes — an air-conditioning unit in every bedroom. Common areas are open-air, designed as indoor/outdoor living spaces.

Can we extend our stay?

Yes. Extra nights, before and after, are a flat fee of $75 per night, per person.
